Hermit Kingdom Built Around
Vessels Long Before the Days of
of the Monitor and Merrimac
SPECIAL TO MJWS HKRAM>.
Washington, May 1.—George Ken-
nan, explorer and lecturer, recently
communicated to the National Geo-
graphical society at Wellington, I>.
C., the Information that Korea built
Htecl-elad battleships 250 years be-
fore the Monitor and Merrimac were
I created. The Hermit Kingdom was
using movable type and ustronomlcal
Instruments from the twelfth to the
1 fifteenth centurleB, and employing
explosive bombs long before they
were known In Europe. He points
out that the famous JapuncBc Sat

by Korean workmen who were Im-
ported Into the mikado's kingdom.
These facts are cited by Mr. Ken
an was not exposed to the scourages
and plagues that Korea'B dirt and
filth brought upon her. The feudal
system sprang up In Japan, causing
authority to be respected and discip-
line to he developed.
"In 1H10, Japan unnexed Korea.
Prior lo that time, as many deaths
us 900 a day had occurred in the city
of Seoul ulone; shortly afterwards
not as many people died from the
plague In the whole kingdom in one
year. Japan forcibly vaccinated
5,00.000 people in one year. One
hundred and Blxty-elght courts were
established, giving authority to 13,000
gendarmes. Hundreds of miles of
roads are being built. Afforestation
on an extensive scale Is being carried
on. To encourage the silk worm in-

course from her pinnacle of clviliia-1 lugs were set out in one year. State
tion to the depths of degeneracy, and
expresses great hopes for her fu-
ture, under the guidunce of Japan.
"While Korea was sinking, Japan
waB rising, until the island kingdom,
all by her own efforts, became such
a world power as to defeat a great
Kuropean nation," he says. 1 he
Koroans were a mainland people.
They had taught the mediaeval Japs
all the civilization they had. Hut, by
reason of their geographical location,
they were invaded by vastly inferior
peoples, the MongolB and the Man
chUB. Korea was Influenced to e«
tabllsh demonology as her religion,
her blood was weakened by being
crossed with that of people vastly
beneath her and her spirit was
broken by the Indignities heaped up-
on her by the more powerful in-
vaders. She was under the influence
of China, which adopted the semi
Bacred books of Confucius as Its na
tlonai system of education 2,000 years
ago. The knowledge of Ills works
and the ability to recite long chap-
ters of his writings were made the
chief requirement of the aspirant
for honors. As a result, the study
of the sciences, mathematics and the
phenomlna of nature was dropped;
the memory was overcultivated and
the reasoning power stultified. The
habits of the Koreans became
cleanly; they grew Indifferent
dirt, and smells.
"Japan, on the other hand, was
never invaded in her history, hei
blood was never Intermingled and
her stock was allowed to remain
pure. Her national character was
developed without outBlde influence
The Shinto religion of the empire
has as Its cardinal principles purity
of body, spirit and environment. Jap-
and private banks were established.
The postal savings system was In-
stalled and one In every aix families
has a savings account. The peoplei
at first suspicious, have learned that
they will get their money back when-
ever they ask for It. In the first
year after the Japanese occupancy,
the rice crop waB doubled, and the
wheat and barley crops grew from
1,000,000 to 36,000,000 bushels. The
Japanese have built a model village
In every province and are encourag-
ing the people to build similar vil-
lages throughout the kingdom.'
Mr. Kennan points out that Korea
has the same geographical advan-
tages as a great portion of tlie east-
ern part of the United StateB. "She
1b Just as well fitted to be the home
of healthy, prosperous and happy
people," lie says. "She Jb located
similarly to the territory bordering
on the Atlantic coast from Portland,
Me., to Charleston. S. C., and ex-
tending Inward to Albany, N. Y.,
Harrisburg, Pa., Lynchburg, VV. and
Columbia, S. C."
The good roads committee of the
Chamber of Commerce met for a
short scBBlon Wednesday noon and
beg6n plans for a good roadB day
movement. One of the first things
was to locate the section of road on
which to concentrate and for this
purpose a twenty-one mile trip was
taken Thursday by Mr. A. G. Eaklns,
president of the Chamber of Com
merce, Farm Demonstrator R. C.
Moore, Mr. G. H. Kcrfoot, Chairman
of the Good Hoads Committee and
Secretary McDonald.
Leaving Convention hall at 8:45 In
Mr. Kerfoot'B car the party drove to
Neal. Beven miles east, and then
south through the section of country
southenBt of the city, returning by
way of the mission road from the
south.
There were several stretches of
road that with some grading and
opening of gutters to the side with a
dragging after the rains can be made
as smooth as a pavement. Other
BtretcheB will need more work, some
filling and bringing to grade, others
will need some mixing of sand and
clay to get the best results, but with
a good turnout on some day desig-
nated as good roads day, with the
proper supervision, several miles of
these roads can be put in excellent
condition. The main troubles noticed
Is that the roads have not been prop-
erly crowned and surfaced to shed
water. This can be "ehsily done by
grading and ralBing the center of
the roadbed, giving good drainage.
One piece of road a mile and a half
long, built by Mr. Moore and Mr. In-
gram last fall, is still in good condi-
tion, needing but a little dragging to
put it in first class shape. This can
easily be done on almoBt every mile
traversed by the party.
Pigeon the Victim of H wk—Vounj
Rabbits In Imminent Danger From
Their Many Enemies.
Scene of a little tragedy. On a bit
jof ground plowed last fall, a sprinkle
lof small feathers showed where a
pigeon had been devoured. That It
had been done by a hawk, not a crow,
was shown by the few kernels of corn
which the crop bad contained, lying
untouched.
Found a nest containing three young
rabbits In the Held. The mother, se-
lecting a small hollow, deposits her
young therein, first lining it with fur
plucked from her own coat, and cov-
ering all over with a bunch of the
same. So long as the grass, or rather
weeds, stood they were well protect-
ed, but mower and rake had both
passed over, carried away the crop
and done no further harm beyond
dragging the fur to one side, thus giv-
ing a clew to the nursery. 1 looked in
at them, then Introduced a finger
Until this was done they were still
aB if dead, but soon as the touch of
allen flesh was felt they began suc-
cessively to kick with startling vio-
lence. Too young to run (they were
about the size of large mice, and prob-
ably but a day or two old), this muBt
have been to terrify the intending
captor. The coat was thick and rath-
er darker than the adult'B; ears, paws
and tall yellow and bare; the eyes
closed, like those of young kittens.
Covering them up, I departed, but
when last seen they were trying to
kick off the blankets. Their fate
seemed very uncertain. Such choice
morsels for dog, crow or hawk can
hardly escape. Seemingly they would
have been safer in the thicket close
by, but 1 suppose maternal Instinct

"That good luck and bad luck go
hand in hand in the oil business is
demonstrated in the case of Fred Boa-
ton, who is now tending bar In a .lop

a week,' said J. S. Cook, an Oklahoma
oil operator, at the Shoreham, accord
ing to the Washington Post.
'When the Indian Territory Oil com
pany, which had a blanket lease on
the Osage nation lands, was forced by
financial necessity to sublet part of it*
holdings," continued Mr. Cook, "Bos
ton was given a sublease on a section
abutting on the Arkansas river, neal
Cleveland, Okla. He was unable tc
develop his lease, and sold a half in

ident of the Indian Territory company
who always beld out a helping hand tc

to the parent company, and neithei
Boston nor Foster could develop the

"This company began to drill In thf
spring of 1913, and late last summei
a gusher was struck. 'Producers fol
lowed one another, and what is now
known as the Boston pool became thf
wonder of the oil world. The leas*
which Boston parted from for a paltry
few hundred dollars cannot now be es
timated in value, and the value of ont

HARMLESS TO FLUSH KIDNEYS
am) NEUTRALIZE 1KKITAT-
ING ACIDS.
Kidney and bladder weakness re-
sult from uric acid, says a noted
authority. The kidneyB filter this
acid from the blood and pass it ou
to the bladder, where it often remains
to irritate and inflame, causing a
burning, scalding sensation, or set-
ting up an irritation at the neck of
lief two or three times during the
night. The sufferer is in constant
dread, the water passes sometimes
with a scalding sensation and is very
profuse; again there is difficulty in
avoiding t.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
tion. While it ie extremely annoy-
ing and sometimes very painful, this
is really one of the most simple ail-
ments to overcome. Get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from your phar-
macist and take a tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast;
continue this two or three days. This
will neutralize the acids in the urine
so it no longer is a source of irrita-
tion to the bladder and urinary or-
gans.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the <actd of grapes
aud lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and it used by thousands of
folks who are subject to urinary dis-
orders caused by uric acid irrita-
tion. Jad Salts is splendid for kid-
neys and cause* no bad effects what-
ever.
Here you have a pleasant, effer-
vescent lithia-water drink, which
quickly relieves bladder trouble.—Adv
Curious Custom.
The custom known as "Whuppitty
Scorie" was celebrated by the youth
of Lanark, Scotland, recently, when
the bell in the town's steeple rang
out for the first time at 6 o'clocb
after five months' silence. From
March 1 to September 30 of each yeai
the bell rings for some minutes at
6 p. m., but during the remainder of
the year it remains silent. On the
occasion of the ringing of the bell foi
the first time the young people gathei
at the cross, each carrying a stringed
cap in his hand- When the bell tolls
the boys run in procession round the
parish church. They do this three
times f"d then a rush is made foi
New Lanark, for the purpose of meet
ing the boys of that village to engage
in combat, the weapons used being the
stringed caps.
The Luxury of Sugar.
Sugar was considered an artlclo of
luxury in Europe until tea and coffee
became usual articles of diet. Sugar
was then used to sweeten these bev-
erages, and so gradually came to have
a prominent part in the daily diet-
Before the days of sugar, much more
meat was eaten and the drinking of
alcoholic beverages was much more
common. The fair maiden who could
not. with impunity, drink a pint of
ale for breakfast, was unusual. Per
haps, in spite of the fact that most of
us eat too much of it, sugar is
blessing. Even over-sweetened cof-
fee and cereal covered with sugar
sound more beneficial than a pint of
ale and half a pound of beef for break-
fast
scripture.
