Mr.. Edieon was sitting on the porch of
his clearinghouse at Ogden Thursday
evening when the back Of the chair gave
way and he fell down four steps. He
thought nothing OF the matter at the
time, but Saturday he began to COM
plain of pains In the side and back. He
reached home Saturday night quite i'll
and was, put to bed. ------
His case puzzled the physicians. There
was not n bruise on his body. Mr. Edi-
son remained in bed until this morning
when DIR. Fewsnlith called again and
gave him permission to get up. The ex-
ertion was too much for him, and by
noon he was In a serious condition.
Dr. Fewsmith stated later that he did
not think the accident had anything to
do with Mr.. Edison's illness. He was
suffering from an enteric trouble pro-
duced probably by the intense heata of
last week The heat during the day In
Ogden was severe. while the evenings
were chilly, and he thought the sudden
change was more than Edison's consti-
tuition could stand. He apprehended no
danger. however.
At o'clock Edison was resting quiz
city. Mrs. Edison and members Of the
family are constantly with him. A
guard is stationed at to gate to prevent
carriages from entering, as the noise Of
wheels upon the gravel drive disturbs
the patient.

Old regime, Japan stands in the place of
modern progress aaj civilization. There are
two parties now. as there Were then. and 1t
may be said that these parties are headed
by the families of the king and queen. The
queens family is very strong in Coraa.
The chief officials who have been squeezing

so ten years ago, and it was through them
that large part Of the kings revenues

Travelled about the country acting in the
most impudent way. Kim Ok Kun saw
with alarm the growth of this Chinese ele-
ment. AS Vice president of the foreign Of
fee, he had TO pay the bills of many con-
tracts which were made with the Japanese.
but there was no money in the treasury.
He decided to overthrow the existing gov
eminent, to seize the king and, through
him, rule Corea after modern methods. He
had influential friends to help him, and his
conspiracy came to a head Just about ten
years ago.

from here to the see soast at Chemulpo and
the new postmaster general was giving
dinner In honor of the event. The leading
foreigners had rushed in and taken up
their residence in Seoul as soon as the
country was opened, and a party of these
noble Coreans and generals were at the
table doing justice to the feast. The din
ner was at its height. when an alarm of
the house of the crown prince was In

this country one of the two generals-in-
chief of the army has to go to every fire
that occurs in the capital. He organizes
the forces for It's suppression and reports

rose from the table and rushed for his
horse. few moments later he was
brought back with his body covered with

then connected with the Presbyterian Med

charge of him, and 1t was by his skill that
an almost miraculous cure was effected
No Corean could have saved him. and it
was through this treatment that DIR. Allen
became the most influential foreigner in
Corea. The king and queen treat him al
most as one of their family and ii Is
through him that the American missions

Maxim's Flying Machine.

Hiram Maxim's flying machine has been

in flying 500 yards. The experiment ended
in an accident, because the machine insist

from the check rail, which was intended to
hold 1t within a few inches of the ground.

screws are driven by two engines which, i'll

Eorse power for every two pounds OF their
weight. The boiler Is of novel design [

there is forced circulation of water. On
