The Seven Wonders' Of Corea.

First, hot mineral spring near Kin
Shan-tao, the healing properties of
which are believed by the people to be
miraculous. No matter what disease
may affiict the patient, a dip in the
water proves efficacious. The second
wonder is two springs, situated at a
considerable distance from each other
in fact, they have the breadth OF
the entire peninsula between them.
They have two peculiarities: When
one is full the other is always empty
and, notwithstanding the fact that
they are obviously connected by a
subterranean passage, one Is bitter
and the other pure and sweet. The
other wonder is a cold-wave cave-a
cavern from which wintry wind per-
petually blows. The force OF the wind
from the cave is such that strong
man cannot stand before it. A forest
that cannot be eradicated is the fourth
wonder. No matter what injury is
done to the roots of the trees, which
are large pines, they will sprout up
again directly, like the phoenix from
ashes. The fifth is the most wonder
| full of all. 1t is the famous Floating
stone" 1t stands, or seems to stand,
in front OF the palace erected in its
honor. 1t is an irregular cube ofgreat
bulk. 1t appears to be resting on the
ground, free from supports on all
sides, but, strange to say, two men at
opposite ends Of a rope may pass II
| under the stone without encounterine
any obstacle whatever. The sixth
wonder is the shot stone" which from
remote ages has lain glowing with heat
on the top of a high hill. The seventh
and last Corean wonder is a drop o.
the sweat of Buddha. For thirty
PAGES around helarge temple in which
it is enshrined not q blade OF grass
will grow. There are no trees Of
flowers inside the sacred square. Ever
the animals decline to profane a spo

HAS SLEPT lS5 DAYS.
Strange Malady Of q Michigan 0irl-De-
creased in Weight More than Half

LANSING, Mich, Oct. 3O.-One of the
most remarkable cases that has ever
engaged the attention of physicians in
this vicinity is that of Miss May
White, a young woman about twenty
three years of age, who for the last
135 days has been in a continuous
state of slumber. She is now lying at
the house of DIR. Brown, of Stock
bridge, several miles south OF here,
who has had charge of the strange
case since its inception, and had the
patient removed to his own house so
that he might give her closer atten-
ton.
Miss White, until stricken, was a
bright young woman and had taught
school in the neighborhood OF her
home. While attending a business
school in jackson in July OF last year
she was attacked by nephritis. An
abcess formed in her side, and after
intense suffering she was relieved of it.
Some time afterward she was attacked
by epilepsy and suffered terribly from
commissions, having as many as fifty
in a single hour. These continued
until June last, when the young
woman suddenly dropped into a slum-
ber so deep that for days no one was
able to rouse her. Her weight has
steadily decreased, until at present
she weighs but fifty pounds, having
lost over seventy pounds since the be-
ginning of her slumber.
DIR. Brown is the only person who is
able to rouse the sleeping girl, and the
operation requires from twenty min
utes to one hour. She is fed three
times a day with light nourishment.
She remains awake for about half an
hour, during which she converses in
telligently and takes an interest in
reading newspapers. At the end OF
half an hour she relapses into an un-
conscious state, in which she remains
until her physician again awakens
her.
DIR. Brown thinks that the girl is
gradually gaining more vitality, and
he believes that she will soon come
out OF her lethargic state.

THE JAPs SHAKEN.
A Terrible Earthquake That Kills Many
People.

LONDON, Oct. %. japan advices
say that so severe were the earthquake
shocks at Osaka yesterday that many
houses were thrown to theground and
hundreds OF occupants were caught
and crushed in the falling buildings.
A large number OF persons succeeded
in escaping from their homes only to
meet death in the streets. There are
no means at present of estimating the
total loss of life. All the telegraph
wires are broken in the districts, af-
fected by falling poles. A private dis
patch, however, states that It's known
that in Osaka alone the death list con-
tains the names of 800 residents of
that city.
Osaka is a seaport city of $4,000
people on the island OF Hondo.

Mr.. Blaine Restored.

Brooklyn Eagle, lind. Dem.): Mr..
Blaine is well again. His restoration
to health will be hailed with gratifica-
ton by his countrymen. During the
trying ordeal through which he has
passed his condition aroused the inter
est and awakened the sympathy OF
his fellow-citizens irrespective OF party
Regret for his illness was universal.
The desire for his recovery was sincere
and unreserved. Wherever his name
was mentioned his condition became
at once the uttermost topic. Of the
concern which his indisposition pro-
voked and the kindly expression that
it everywhere elected Mr.. Blaine has
reason to feel proud. There are few
Americans to whom, in like emergency,
would be rendered such noble tribute
of comfort and consolation. Upon
none could it be more graclously be-
slowed.

Mighty Small.

Ohio comes to the front with q
pound and half baby, having a hand
some head of dark hair and a face the
size OF silver dollar.
Mrs. James Stewart, of Grayson,
KY, has given birth to baby weigh
ing only twenty ounces. She weighs
140 pounds, and her husband is much
heavier.
Leuwenhock has computed that
10000 threads of the web of full
gro wn spider are not larger than q
single hair of a mans beard. He cal
culates that when young spiders begin
to spin 400 of their threads are not
larger than one from full sized in
sect. If this be a fact 1000, 900 webs
OF a young spider are not as large as a
single hair from a mans face.
The smallest known species of hogs
are quartered at the London Zoologi-
cal Gardens. They came from the
southern part OF Australia, and are
known as "the pigmy hogs of the An
tipodes." They are well formed,
frisky and good natured, and about
the size OF q muskrat. They are real
hogs, and are not to be confounded
with guinea pigs, which are a species
of rodent.
