A Korean Prison.

In an entertaining article on korea-
the country which Russia covets and
which Japan must have-the Rev. Rob
ert z. Speer has this to say upon the
prisons Of that half-barbarous land:
"The gate was wide open and the
courtyard was full Of prisoners. and
the surrounding buildings were old
and tottering. I asked the chief.
whom one OF the two or three listless
attendants called for US. why the pris.
oners did not run away. Oh he re-
piled. they would be caught and beat.
en- again and kept longer. Now they
will get out SOON But as I looked Mt
them saw that they did not run away
because they could not. The life was
beaten out Of them. The keepers
brought the heavy red cord with q
brass hook at the end and trussed up q
man with it to show how the beating
was done. md then brought US the
stif rods with which victims were
pounded over the shins and thighs I'M.
til the beaten spots were simply masses
Of fostering rottenness. There was a
room. black. foul. leprous. In which the
men were fastened IN the stocks. The
Black Hole Of Calcutta was scarcely
less merciful than this. ."-Lcsli"s 8

Sustained Piano Notes.

An apparatus has been invented
which Is designed to sustain the notes
Of the piano as in the flute or violin.
A row Of delicate electrical contacts
Is connected with the keyboard and
with a row Of little electromagnetic In
front OF the strings. SO that while any
key is pressed the corresponding mag
net keeps it's strings In continuous VI
bration with flutellke effect. A knee
swell throws the attachment into ac-
tlon. and when this Is not being pressed
the piano has its usual tone. The sug-
gestion, says Science Siftinss. seems
to open up q path for other new in
ventions.
