DEATH is TO BE THE PENALTY.

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. l5.-Mail ad-
vices from Seoul Corea, are to the effect
that checking the government receipts
from taxes and internal revenue reveals
the astonishing fact that not less than
100000 yen have been embezzled by
government officers during the last SIX
years.
Ye Yo Yok, minister of finance, al
vised the emperor to pass sentence OF
death on all officers who emDelzled over
2000 yen. The emperor's sanction was
given three weeks ago and wholesale ex-
ecutions Will soon take place. Eighty
officials are implicated, many of whom
have already been arrested.
Among those condemned is Che Pyeng
Jik, an eX-premier The officials under
arrest claim that the money taken by
them was in payment for salaries or ex-
penses incurred in collecting.

GATHERING THE ICE CROP.
Cutting System Now in Use Is More
Elaborate than old Method.

In these modern days the cutting Of
Ice is q much more elaborate process
than it was fifteen or twenty years ago,
when workmen simply went out on the
frozen surfaces of lakes and rivers with
a one-handled crosscut saw and cut out
the cakes, which were drawn up an in
cline into the icehouses by means of
ropes. Nowadays each cake is handled
more or less by about dozen men be-
fore it reaches it's place in the icehOuse.
In the first place, If the surface of the
ice Is not perfectly clear it is swept or
scraped free of all snow or anything
else that may be lying upon it. Then
the marker, the man who is to scratch
the lines along which the ice cakes are
TO be cut, begins operations. In
frame to which handles similar to
those of plow are attached for guild
ing purposes, are two teeth, one in the
rear Of the other. A horse attached to
this frame drags it over the ice while
it is directed by the driver who holds
the handles. The teeth cut into the ice
deep enough to leave a assure that can
easily be traced. After cutting lines,
all running in the same direction, the
marker croSs-cuts these with lines run
ming at right angles, thus marking out
the exact size of the cakes to be cut.
After the marking off is completed, or
sometimes before it is finished. the cut
ting machine is brought out on the ice.
This machine is somewhat similar in
design to the marker, but it is of heav-
Ter construction, stronger, and has teeth
about ten inches in length. Often both
this machine and the marker have an
extension arm fitted with teeth, the
stretch of the arm being the exact
width of cake of ice. The cutting ma
chine Is driven up and down the ice
until the knives or teeth have cut into
1t their full length. If the ice is over ten
inches in thickness the cutting is, of
course not yet completed and the old
are brought into play to fin

Propac ating the Mistletoe.

The story of how the mistletoe gets on
the trees is a most interesting one. Gov
ering the mistletoe twigs are pearly
white berries. These come in the win
ter season, when food Is comparatively
scarce, and hence some of our birds eat
them freely. Now when a robin eats a
cherry he swallows simply the meat
and t1ips the stone away. The seed Of
the mistletoe the bird cannot flip. 1t is
sticky and holds to his bill. His only
resource is to wipe 1t off, and he does
so, leaving it sticking to the branches
of the tree on which he is sitting at the
time. This seed sprouts after a time,
and not finding earth-which indeed its
ancestral habit has made it cease want
ing-it sinks its roots into the bark Of
the tree and hunts there for the pipes
that carry the sap. Now the sap in the
bark Is the very richest in the tree, far
richer than that in the wood, and the
mistletoe gets from its host the choicest
of food. With strange foresight it
does not throw its leaves away, as do
most parasites, but keeps them to use
in winter, when the tree is leafess.-La-

ICE HARVEST, AT IT'S HEIGHT.

ish the job. The cakes of ice are then
ready for the man with the croWbar,
who prizes them apart and sends them
floating down toward the point where
they leave the water on the way to the
interior Of the icehouses. The cakes are
generally cut about twenty or twenty
two inches square, as the most con-
venient size for handling and transpor-
tation.
The houses for storing the ice are, of
course, built so close to the water that
the elevator for hauling up the ice can
reach from the top of the building
down to the waters edge. The build
ings are, as a rule, about the height of
a three or four story structure, and are
from 100 to $50 feet in width by more
than that in length. The walls are
usually double, with an air chamber
of about foot between the two walls.
Sometimes the walls are treble, with
two air chambers for the protection of
the ice. The interior is divided into
several great compartments, which are
as separate as If they were in different
buildings. This arrangement is made so
that it will not be necessary to expose
the whole of the interior to the outer
air when taking out a load of ice for
market.
An endless chain system, more or less
like the straw elevator of a thrashing
machine, is used for carrying the ice
from the water to the building. This
chain is operated by a steam en-
CINE placed just underneath 1t and Just
outside of the icehouse. The chain is
wide, fiat surface, wide enough to cas-
lily accommodate cake Of Ice, or even
more. The chain dips down into the
water, and while 1t is moving workmen
push the cakes of ice upon 1t and they
are carried upward and into the ice
house, where they are packed evenly
together by Ice showers. Nothing what
ever is placed about the Ice, the old
sawdust packing system being quite
passe. When the house Is filed hay or
straw Is placed upon the top layer of
cakes and the packing is then complete.
Twenty or thirty thousand tons are
often packed away In one house.
