A Fishy Story.

Pyeng Yang, a city in Corea, was
founded three thousand and sixteen
years ago. 1t is known as the we'll
less city. Within it's walls is not a
single we'll and all the water of the
city is carried up by watermen from
the river which washes it's southern
wall. Tradition shows that this has
always been SO, for it is said that when
a Chinese general besieged it two thou
sand years ago, believing that he could
compel it's inha bitants to capitulate by
cutting off their. water supply, he was
led to give up the attempt because the
soldiers on the walls took fish scales
and went through the motions of the
bath, and the scales, glittering in the
sun, looked in the eyes of the aston
ished besiegers to be drops of water
