revolution. China again sent her troops, and Japan followed suit, fearing that China proposed openly scizing the coun- try. This fact and popular indignation in Japan over the assassination of Finn oh-kuin have caused Japan to lock horns with China in a struggle for the possession of Korea.
 Russia desires to annex Korea because she would thus be greatly strengthened on the Pacific, as korca's harbors are much better than those of Vladivostok, her southcrnmOst port and terminus of her proposed transsiberian railroad. England wants Korea because her policy is to take everything in sight. provided it be unable to defend itself. The United States is also mixed up in the affair. but only as a proposed mediator ill bringing about an amicable arrange ment between Japan, China and Korea.

KOREA AND HER KING.

The Hermit Nation That China, Japan. Eng
 land and Russia Are All After.
 Uneasy rests the head that wears Korea's crown. With Chinese, Japanese and English troops i'll his kingdom, an ablebodicd rebellion among his sub jects, and China, Japan, England and Russia all eagerly waiting an opportu- nifty of deposing him and stealing his territory, his majesty Li seems to be be- tween several satanic majestics and nu- merous deep seas. Korea has long been known as the Hermit Nation" on ac- count of her hatred of foreigners, and as the little brother of China" on ac- count of her dependency to that empire
 Koreans have for many years acknowl- edged China's right to dictate what their kings policy shall be, and China has been so jealous of her absolute control over her ittlo brother that when Korea desired to raise a loan of $l, 800, 900 i'll New York four years ago her consul warned American capitalists not to fur nish the money. A great many Chinese and Japanese live in Korea, and Japan has always regarded with disfavor the dependency of Korea to China. Last March Kim -ok-K Kuin, a Korean refugee who had fled to Japan and become n citizen, foolishly went to Shanghai, where he was aSsasSinated by Koreans who had been following him for years. Japan thought China winkcd at the murder. At the same time anti-Japa- nese riots occurred i'll Korea, and China promptly rushed her troops across the border to suppress the trouble.

bA~ANfAAH- AstAAh oA DSboy Burns. His rugged. strong face is fram- cd in great mass of silvery white hair that nipples far down over his collar, and his eyes are so bright and powerful that glasses are strangers to them. He takes long walks about Edinburgh in all sorts of weather, wears his wide brimmed lat indoors as well as out and glorifies GIeek to any one who will lis ten.
 Greek is his hobby. He believes it is the greatest language the world has ever known, and he is as familiar with it as he is with the queens English. He has the best Greek library in Great Britain. He takes Greek newspapers and devours their contents He has loved Greek for over GO years and has taught the language for nearly half a century. His friends declare that he dreams in Greek.
 He is as modest as he is active "Wbat have done?" he said recently. '1've taught Greek. written n little and preached great deal" In these few words does the scholar, poet, stu dent, philosopher, teacher, orator, law yer, lover of the classics and champion of human progress sum up useful ca reer of fourscore and five years.
 Professor Blackie was born in Glas- gow, entered college at 12 and later studied at Edinburgh university under John Wilson Christopher North and after years of toll returned to the uni versity as professor of Greek. At 25 he was admitted to the bar, but turned his back on the law at 30. He has written many interesting and instructive books and holds high rank as Greek scholar.
