SOMETHING ABOUT KOREA,

The dispatches announce that
Denny, American advisor of the
king of Korea, has returned to
Seoulj after short stay There.
Korean affairs are in critical condi-
tion.n
AS much ignorance exists regard
ing Korea it may be well Ogive some
information regarding this far-oft
land. Korea is a peninsula of about
the same shape as Florida or Italy,
and it hangs down into the Pacific
Ocean from the northeast ledge of
China and the lower edge Of Russian
Siberia. Between it and China is the
dirty, boisterous, Yellow Sea which
takes a day and night by steamer
to cross, and its lower coast is about
an equal distance from the western
edge of Japan. 1t has 1900 miles
of sea coast, and its western shores
are lined with bold and rocky
islands. 1t is land of mountains.
A great chain winds through itfrom
north to south, and going by the
land in steamer its coasts look
mountainous, bleak and bare. Ma
ture, however, has done well for it.
Its mountains are filled with min
erals and its soil, under proper culti-
ton, would blossom like the rose.
Mr.. Dinsmore, our minister, says
that more than $3,OOO,OOO worth
of gold dust and gold nuggets was
taken from the Korean hills last
year, and the foreigners there say
that the supplies of gold are rich in
the extreme. The climate is delight
full. It's air is as bracing as that of
Colorado, and its springs and its
autumns are like the winters of Cali
fornia.

A DISTANT POSSIBILITY.

A curious speculation has been
made concerning what would hap
pen were the earth's rotation to
cease. The equatorial diameter
being twenty-six miles more than
the solar diameter, the earth would
present an equatorial zone of solid
ground miles high above the sea-
level, the water being all drawn to
the poles. This land zone would
then be like our Arctic regions, and
would be banded by ring of per-
ice and snow.
