What an Americas Travesee raw n The
City Of Seoul.
Corea has q population Of fifteen
million people; and the city Of Seoul,
though not the largest in tho kingdom.
has been the capital since the present
dynasty came into power. nearly Eve
hundred years ago II was selected
for its location. afforaing a. it does q
well-drained basin Of granite sand.

miles in circumference. These adjoin-
ing mountains afford numerous strong
natural Businesses. which arc provided
with artificial Notifications where nec.
essary. and arc kept constantly gar
risoned and provisioned a. places OF
retreat for the royal family in times OF
danger. .t
The main thoroughfares Of the city
OF Seoul are some two hundred feet
broad. and are usually clean though
crowded. but the more distinctively
residence streets are not over twenty
feet wide as rule. As they are crowd
ed with travel and lined with the
houses OF the poor. they are apt to be
untidy and not very attractive. On
these streets. aside from the occasional
large gate leading into gentleman's
establishment, there is little evidence
of responsibility to be seen. for even
the front of . gentlcman's residence is
given up to servants quarters. and is
allowed to look as shabby Is it will. As

the law compelling men TO leave the
streets after the ringing of the bell
has been repealed, owing to the fact
that 50 many outrages were committed

BY which lands are inundated, b q
nuisance. and courts of equity may by
Injunction abate or cnjoin the same.
The Supreme Court of Georgia has
decided that where a planter puts his
cotton into the hands OF another per-
son to sell. according to the custom of
trade. and that person does not account
for the same after selling. the original
owner can not recover from the pur.
chaser. but must look to the authorized
seller for proceeds of the sale. This
decision should teach planters the inn
pOrtance of not parting with their cot
ton without proper security from tho
parties acting for them in its sale.
The Supreme Court OF North Caro-.
lima holds that where . person mort
cages land the mortgage becomes en-
titled to the land, and in the absence
Of any agreement to the contrary be-
comes entitled to all the crops pro-
duced upon it from year 70 year until
the mortgage debt is discharged. In an
other case the same court holds that q
mortgage is the owner Of the land and
can take possession at any time. One
who deals with the mOrtgagor in pos
session must tako notice Of the mort
gage if registered. Where . mort
gagor in possession gives q lien on the
crop and the mortgage takes posses
sion. the contract for the lien is gone.
And if the mortgagor then becomes
the tenant of the nortgagce. who
makes the advances, the lien Of the
landlord becomes superior to other
liens

For example. where the de-
PENDANT, finding the plaintiffs horse 10

of the rain that fell in torrents. Both
