Little Korea.

An evidence of Uncle Sam's ability to meet the worlds every need is the fact that he supplies several govern ments with postal stamps. It has re- gently become known that the Korean stamps are printed in this country. The United States consular reports de- scribe them as of four denominations and all alike except in color and value. In the center is the national emblem, an ancient Chinese phallic device; at the corners of the centerpiece are four characters, signifying the spirits that, Atlas like, uphold the earth, while in each corner of the stamp is a plum blossom, the royal flower of the pres ent Ye dynasty, which has held the throne more than 500 years. Each stamp bears inscriptions in three lan- guages-Chinese, Korean and English. At the top are ancient Chinese char acters and at the bottom their Korean equivalents. On the right are Korean characters and on the left Chinese, giving the denominations, while just below the center is their English translation.

MAMMOTH IVORY,

It is likely that African ivory will grow searcer and scarcer, and if there were no other source of supply this beautiful material would soon cost so much it would be invaluable How ever, the frozen lands of Siberia con- tain an apparently inexhaustible store of ivory, the product of the mammoth. Vast numbers of these huge and bulky animals are frozen in the ice and snow.
 Mammoth ivory was known to the ancients and for centuries past has been an article of trade and commerce. In 1921 Yakut brought 2,000 pounds of ivory from the New Siberian islands and in the years after many thousand pounds were disposed of.
 Boatloads of tusks have been seen on the Lena and Yenisei rivers. In 1840 Dr. Middendorff visited the coun- try and estimated that the annual out put of Siberian ivory was 10000 pounds. representing 100 mammoths, so that the total number of animals whose remains have been exported since the conquest of Siberia must be between 10000 and 30.0oo.

Writers of fiction have frequently pictured the idea of an unknown trop- ical paradise turned into a general asylum for outlaws and criminals. In the Bonin isles, not far from Japan. such refuge has actually been dis covered. Men of every nationality, who have made civilization too warm for themselves, having decamped to this ideal rendezvous, leaving the po- lice to record the unsatisfactory re- suit of their investigations as gone abroad" No rates or taxes have to be paid, and government seems to be entirely dispensed with. The discovery was made by a Japanese vessel which called at the isle. In future the aliens will have less freedom, and conse- quently less happiness, for the Japa- nese dominion will have to be rec ognizd. Their dream is over.-West- ern Morning News.
