(Copyright. 1901. by V. Gribayedoff.)
Paris. May 20.—There lu| s just been
held in Parks a great reunion of learned
men. which, from its peculiar constitu
tion and its important object, has every
element of popular interest. The lirst
year of the new century has been fitting
ly signalized by the establishment and
first sessions of on “International Con
gress of Academies.” The idea is that
there should be a body composed of re
presentatives of every great academy,
institute, university and scientific society
of the whole civilized world, all working
together in the general interests of every
branch of knowledge. The “Congress of
Academies” will be to the scientific move
ments and work of the world what the
Royal Society of London is to England,
What the famous Institute is to France
and what, in another field, the District
of Columbia is to the United States. It
■will be, so to speak, a general registry
office of learning and discovery; or, one
might put it, an international clearing
house of science. Its most important
function will be to “keep tabs,” in the
slang phrase, on the progress made in
every highway and by way of research
and thought all over the world; it will
give official sanction to discoveries; It
■will sum up the actual position of knowl
edge in every subject, indicate gaps-in
the sum-total of achievement, organize
research on new lines, and enable isolated
workers to avoid wasting time and labor
on lines already fully explored .
Just as the institution of the clear
ing house in the commercial or indus
trial world enables a railroad company,
a bank or a trust to compress, so to
speak, the linai result of a hundred vast
ly complex o(>erations into one check,
so the scientific clearing house will sum
up in one word the result of the year's
■work of hundreds of savants working in
every corner of the earth. And, to vary
the metaphor, as in the imagined socialist
state all property will be held in common
end administered for the equal advantage
of all the citizens; so in the “Congress of
Academics," every new acquisition to
knowledge will be put into the common
coffer for the common use of all. The
scientific worker in London or Beilin
will be able to profit at once by the
authoritatively recognized net results of
a worker In the United States—or vice
versa. And It will very often be found
possible by this co-ordination of work to
quteken immensly the achievement of de
finite gains to knowledge. A given sub
ject may be mapped out in sections of
research, each section being assigned to
a specialist. When all the specialists
come together at the end of a year or
so. each with his own irt of the sub
ject duly studied, their results fitted to
gether. will represent a definite and very
considerable advance.. Three men work
ing in co-ordination may in this way pro
duce in n year what no single one of
them, working out. every step alone,
could accomplish in a lifetime. The dif
ference will be something like that ex
isting between a writer who before set
ting to work had to hew out his table,
manufacture his paper and shape ills
■pen, and another w ho had all these things
made all ready for him and had nothing
to do but sit down and write. It is not
too much to say that the whole move
ment of science and learning during the
coming century will be Immeasurably
accelerated by this new Institution.
The Idea realized in Paris is not a new
one. Benjamin Franklin advocated It in
Paris to Voltaire and the Encyclopaedlcs.
And long before him the greut German
philosopher and scientist Leibnitz had
proclaimed some such international en
tente cordiale or alliance of learned men
an essential condition of progress. It
has taken 200 years to realize what seems
to be so simple and obviously useful a
suggestion. iLeibnitz might well have
been Satisfied to see how warmly his
countrymen of this year of grace have
espoused his idea and how brilliantly
Germany was represented In the congress.
But what Franklin would have said to his
countrymen is more dubious; something
very vigorous, in certainty, if the old
patriot has not altered his ways since
he trod the earth. For. whatever the rea
son may be, the United States has al
lowed itself this once to be caught nap-
ping when every civilized country has
made a point of displaying the liveliest
practical interest. Only one American
savant was delagated to this epoch-mak
ing assembly—Professor Goodale—and by
a singular piece of had luck fell 111 In
Switzerland Just before the reunion and
was unable to attend. There Is no deny
ing the fact that American science cut
a sorry figure In consequence. The scores
of distinguished English, German. Rus
eion. Danish, French and Italian savants
must have been confirmed in the view
often stated in Europe, that as a nation
we produce little but sensational practical
application of ideas not our own. that we
have no real scientific gift at all.
It must not be supposed at all that
the Congress of Academies is to concern
Itself only with such matters as electrici
ty, biology and the other subjects gene
rally classed as scientific in the too ex
clusive. popular use of that word. All
branches of learning and study fall within
Its avowed scope; the antiquarian, the
historian, the philologists will contribute
to Its proceedings Just as much and Just
os appropriately as the savant who spends
his days over test-tubes hunting mic
robes down to their lairs or who, like
Edison or Marconi, lives for electrical
discovery.
The Immense Importance of the occa
sion may be Judged from a few names
picked at haphazard from the brilliant
list of delegates. Among English savants,
for example, there were the pick of the
Royal Society, men of the widest fame,
such as Professor A. R. Forsyth, Sir
(Michael Floater. Sir (Archibald <elkle,
Professor Ray Lankoster, Sir Norman
Lockyer, and a half a dozen others al
most equally eminent. France, of course,
was represented by a long train of no
table scientists, the Uomte dr J/asteyrle.
M Gastoti Dartioux. the Comte do Fran
qncville. M. Albert Sorel. to mention only
four from some twenty whose work is
known all over the world. Itnly sent
among others, the famous Dr. Mosso of
Turin, Russian delegated Dr, Bocktund.
the eminent astronomer of Pulkova; and
..♦very university of spenmark. Norway,
Sweden, the German Empire and Austria,
was represented by one or more lights
of learning. But perhaps of all the great
men assembled In Pari* at the first re
union of the congress none was more
hlghlv honored than the famous Professor
Mommsen of Berlin, who probably scarce
ly know* that microbes or electric hat
lartea exist. He practically ruled the open
ing proceedings by right of the profound
aeholarahtp and philosophic graap shown
In the monumental historical works
Which have gained him a world wide re
putation. The welcome accorded to him
Jo Paris was a remarkable object lesson
In the International courtesy and co
operation which the new Institution hopes
to foment among learned men. Foe I’to*
fessor Mommsen has signilized himself
all his life long by a bitter hatred of
France. In the days of Napoleon 111 he
worked constantly in Paris, studying in
the superb Imperial Library, the only
collection in Europe which contained the
MAS. he needed for his work. But though
profuse in personal gratitude to the em
peror he never let slip an occasion of
writing harshly of French manners and
customs.
Into the proceedings of the congress
there is no need to enter at length; as
n matter of fact, all that was not high
ly technical was purely preliminary; a
constitution adopted, rules framed, of
ficers elected. But there was one inter
esting question opened. The Congress of
Academies had determined to tackle the
difficult but urgent matter of a universal
language. The need of some means of
written and spoken communication be
tween members of different races is be
ing felt more and more every day. As
trade become? more and more extended,
taking in every' country in the* world,
the language question becomes a formi
dable difficulty. A large American firm
will, in the course of a year, have to
write and receive letters in every dialect
spoken wherever American goods are
used. Instead of having to> employ a host
of translators, waste a vast quantity of
priceless time and in the end do business
unsatisfactorily, it would be infinitely
better to have one recognized business
language, adopted in every country, by
every one who proposed, either as a clerk
or as a principal, to enter commerce.
Several experiments have, of coarse, been
tried in this direction: perhaps, the most
promising was Voltipuk. But Volapuk is
now as dead as tho traditional door-nail.
The reason is easily stated. It lacked
authoritative sanction; and it was all
constructed in this respect, that being
purely fantastic, having no relation to any
existing tongue it laid a heavy burden
on the memory. Relatively few people
cared to learn a difficult language when
they were not sure that the day after
they had acquired it. new and better
system might not appear and be more
generally adopted.
A philological committee of the Congress
of Academies will study the question in
all its bearings, and expects in the course
of a few' years to have worked out or
adopted from outside some artificial lan
guage which will meet the conditions of
universal success. Such a language will
have to be absolutely simple in construc
tion with no elaborate rules; easy of pro
nunciation on phonetic laws by every race
likely to use it; easily learned by being
composed as far as possible of root words
common to the greatest possible number
of languages. These conditions are not
so hard to meet as it might seem. Pro
nunciation and grammatical rules are
simply a matter of universal agreement;
as for aiding the memory by the use of
roots common to many languages, they
con be found in the Latin words which
abound in them; French. Spanish and
Italian are almost exclusively made up
of them; Germany has a good many. Al
ready a language has been formed on
this principle; it is called Esperanto; is
the creation of a Russian scholar —and
Fount Tolstoi declares that after only
three hours’ study he learned to read it
as fluently as his own tongue. Any one
that remembered his French roots or
had a smattering of Latin, would cer
tainly master it in n w-eek. It may' be that
Esperanto will be adopted by the united
academies. If U be. the congress will
use all its vast international influence
to get it officially accepted by every
country; perhaps even to have it made a
compulsory subject in public schools all
over the world. In that case every edu
cated man and woman of the next genera
tion would lx* able to communicate with
all the educated people be had to do
with in any land. Trade would be greatly
facilitated, traveling would become an un
mixed joy. Of course, the universal ton
gue would not kill existing languages;
that is as impossible as it would be .re
gret able; it would simply be a more or
less perfect Vehicle for the conveying of
the ordinary affairs of life and of trade
betw’een representatives of different races.
And that is as possible as it is desirable.
If the thing is to be achieved in our
time, it will probably be the work of the
Congress of Academies. And this i? only
a fraction of the great work the annual
reunion of savants proposes to itself. It
is much to be hoped that at the reas
sembly in London next year, the United
States will take measure# to be adequate
ly represented in a body of such wide
scope and of such monumental import
ance. _

CITY BREVITIES.
The charter chapter, Daughters of the
Confederacy, will hold Its quarterly meet
ing at Veterans’ Hall this afternoon at
1:30 o'clock. Many imporiant matters are

State Board of Pharmacy, said yesterday
that he was in no sense an applicant, but
that his name had been suggeslcd to the
Governor.
The benefit concert that was to he given
Miss Christine Winter to-morrow night
has been postponed until June 12. An ex
cellent programme has been arranged for
the occasion, and doubtless will be en
joyed by a large nudlence. The concert
will take place at Conservatory Hall.
The Sunday School of St. Paul's Church
will give Its annual picnic at Wilmington

Railronil Work Begins Tills Morning.
The Feltlllzer Test Case.
Dublin, Ga., June 2.—To-morrow morn
ing W. J. Oliver & Cos., the contractors,
will commence work on the extension of
the Macon, Dublin and Savannah road
from this city to Vidalia, at which place
connections will be mad 6 with the Sea
board Air Line. The contractors have
only four months to complete the work.
All of the line from Dublin to Vidalia has
not yet been located, but enough has been
decided on to furnish plenty of work for
the contractors for the time being. Cross
ties for the road are being rapidly gotton
'out and strung along the right of way.
It is expeqted that a shipment of rails
'will arrive shortly. It Is expected that
the extension will be opened for traffic
by Nov. 1 at the latest.
Nothing has been heard in Dublin late
ly of the extension of the Brewton and
Plnvora Railroad to this city. It was
generally understood some months ago
that as soon as the extension was com
pleted from Register to Statesboro that
trains would be run from Dublin to Sa
vannah. The extension has been com
pleted and yet .no arrangements have
'been made by which the Brewton and
Pineora trains wontld run to Dublin over
the Wrigbtsville and Tennille track. The
people of Dublin are much Interested In
securing direct connection with Savan
nah and would like to have the Brewton
and Pineora come into the city. This,
with the Macon, Dublin and Savannah
road, would give Dublin three routes to
Savannah.
