fermante faris tian krakadon ke gxi vekigis Giganto Malesperon,
kiu rapide levigante sin por sekvi siajn kaptitojn, sentis siajn
membrojn malapogi sin; cxar siaj konvulsioj sin reprenis, tiel ke li
ne iel povis kuri post ili. Tiam ili piediris kaj atingis la Regxan
cxefvojon kaj tiel estis savaj, cxar ili estis ekster lia regeco.

LA SPEGULO.

Knabineto sin admiris
En spegulo.--"Dio gardu
Ke vi tion tro rigardu!"
GXin patrin' prenante diris.

"Vidi min mi multe volas!"
Krias tuj la filineto--
Kun malbela grimaceto,
Tre kolere sxi parolas--

"Vidu do grimaculinon
Kiun krie vi alvokas!
Malobeis sxi patrinon ...
La spegulo nun sxin mokas!"

A. Motteau.

CORRESPONDENCE NOTES.

Several enquirers have written for information as to the method of
dividing the words in Esperanto. No rule seems to exist. The usual
custom is to divide them according to their pronunciation, and not
etymologically. Take the word _Krajonon_ for example. When split up
into syllables, this reads kra-jo-non, and is pronounced
krah-yoh-nohn.

F.G.R. of Nottingham is a most energetic supporter of our Cause, for,
in addition to lecturing on Esperanto, he has carefully studied the
vocabulary in the Text-book, comparing the two parts. As a result
of this examination he has found many items which are of general
interest. On page 133 _Rent_ is given as _Rento_, whereas on page 154
_Lui_ is given as meaning _to rent_. This is quite correct, for, in
the first instance, _rent_ is _income_, rent roll; in the latter
case, of course, it signifies _hire_. "One word, one meaning," is an
Esperanto maxim. The word _Makleristo_ also presented difficulty, as
the simple verb _Makleri_ is not given. It means _to do the business
of a broker_. Hence _Makleristo_ is _a broker_.

I must thank the many friends who have kindly written pointing out
Press errors in The Esperantist. While regretting that it is
impossible to eliminate these altogether, a monthly errata list of
the preceding Gazette is not necessary, unless the errors be of real
consequence. I must, however, in justice to the authors, call
attention to the following unaccountable slips in previous numbers.
On page 43 the saying of Napoleon was incorrectly given as
_Milcentjaroj vin rigardas_. It should, of course, have been
_Kvardek centjaroj_. Also Mr. Motteau calls attention to the
following errata in _La Ventego_. Page 21, S
