THE CAPTURED DRAGONS.
How Koreans Viewed the First Elec-
trio Cars In Their Country.

TOW NOTSSIiS vtCWC0 tiiS TtfSI Gt~S.
trio Cars In Their Country.
When the electric car service was
first opened in Korea, it furnished
most perplexing theme to the
minds of the Koreans, for they
could not see how the electric cars
could move along without any horse
or any steam engine to pull them.
Many months passed without any
solution being found. During these
months there was no rainfall in
Seoul, and the fact at once brought
happy idea into the Korean mind.
Koreans believe that rain is pro-
duced only by rain dragons that live
in the sky Now, in view of the
drought, these dragons, the Kore-
ans argued, must have been captur-
ed by the enterprising Americans,
whose intention was to cause them
to exhale the steam by means of
which the electric cars are driven
on. In support of their argument
they pointed to the blue sparks that
are often seen in the engine room Of
the electric railway company and
said that the flames were those
which the dragons vomited in the
agony of being compelled to manu-
facture the steam.
This solution of the electric car
mystery and Of the drought was en-
Enthusiastically Endorsed by the ig-
norant populace of Korea. It then
came to pass that the enraged ma
tiyes wreaked their vengeance on
the electric cars with terrible vehe-
mence. The motormen were at
tackled and injured, the rails were
torn up and the cars were Destroy
ed.
Then, taught by these costly ex-
periences, an engineer Of the Elec-
trio Car company contrived cum
ming method to outwit these Kore-
ans. One day he caught one Of
these riotous people in the electric
car and, driving hlm into the en-
CINE room, imprisoned him there
all the night. There was the for.
midable mechanism Of the electric
ity, but no dragon. The sight was a
complete establishment for the
Korean. He spread the report
among the other superstitious peo-
pie, and they reluctantly abandoned
their crazy notion, and Til cars were
unmolested. Japan Weekly Times.
