THE ravages of cholera in Corea are wildly
presented by the news that the deaths from
this cause in Seoul alone are 1000 day. This
chief city of the peninsula contains less than
900 inhabitants within its walls, and as
the pestllence began to rage furiously there
fully three or four months ago it NAV be I'm
agined what havoc 1t has made. An import
ant point to note Is that the sanitary condi-
ton OF the capital has been for a long time
horrible IN spite of excellent natural dram
age. The sewers were once very good al
though open on the streets, but of late the
houses have enCroached on the thoroug fares
and have been recklesslY built no to and ever
over the sewers. leaving only the space nee
essary for these condults, which have become
tilthier and flthier. The lesson of this present
devastation OF Seoul is one that would DG
taught in any other city of the world under
| like circumstances.
SIG. SUCCI, in preparing for his fast IL
Paris, has taken a hint from the report of the
Paris College of Physicians, apropos of hi
recent thirty day fast at Milan. The Pari.
physicians say that Sig. Succi's fast proves
nothing, that his "A frlcan Elixir is q sort OF
patent medicine fraud, and that a man does
| not fast because he eats nothing for he is q +.
ing, or. more accurately speaking, living on
the tissues which he stored from his pre- giOus
eating. Sig. Succi they pronUuncea phenom.
enon in that he has more stored up tissue from
his previous eating than ordinary men. ThaI
Succi agrees with the report is evident from
the fact that he now eats four meals dav
consisting OF neefsteaks. three dozen oysters
veal outlets. lamb chops and a numberles,
quantity of accessories. The Paris College OF
Physicians have made preparations to subject
him to the most rigorous scientific test.
