The Coreans are very quick and
bright, and pick up foreign language
with surprising rapidity. They are
suspicion and cunning, and never trust
n another n foreigners. Among
them women live a secluded life and
ire kept in the background.
The Coreans are usually regarded as
a handsome race, for their p~hysiqug
is good, though the average height
IS but little over five feet-yet the
men are very strong. The hands OF
Doth men and women are, without ex-
ception, small. white and exquisitely
formed, and the tapering fingers are
;arefully attended to.
Corea is about 600 miles long and
1876 miles wide. 1t is very mountain
Gus and the climate is one of the finest

the skies are bright, and the winter
is supberb, with it's extreme dryness

the airy protection of higher law" and
her husband-we1, it is alleged she
didn't care much what did become OF
him, because Mrs. Tingley said he was
a tyrant.
On. the strength Of this story, sub
stantiated by evidence in detail, Judge
Kavanagh to-day granted a divorce to
John ]. Bohn, publisher and editor OF
the Hotel World. and gave him the
custody of the children. Bohn tesu-
fed that he married Miss Grace Green
on October II, 1892, and that they lived
together happily until about seven

first time in her life and declared in
violently profane language she would
never live with me again"
Mrs. Tingley is said to have been
present at the quarrel in the capacity
of umpire and to have had the last
word by telling Bohn that he came OF
seven generations of tyrants. The next
day, Bohn averred. his wife left the
hotel. where they were stopping, taking
the children with her, and that he was
obliged to appeal to the Supreme Court
of California for a writ of habeas

SCARLET FEVER
GERMS ORIGIN
Harvard Medical School Ex-
pert Finds That 1t Is of Ami
NAL, Not Vegetable, Nature
Special Dispatch to The Call.


BOSTON, Dec 14.-Dr. Frank Burr
Mallory Of the Harvard Medical School
viii present tomorrow night to the
Boston Society Of Medical Sciences i'm
portant information as to the cause of
scarlet fever, following a long and ex-
haustive investigation Of the subject.
The main point Of his discovery is that
the germ Of the disease is OF animal
and not Of vegetable origin, as has been
held.
After years of hard work. Mallory is
able to show that infection in scarlet
fever is by protozoa and to trace the
development Of the disease through
successive stages of animal growth.
An important feature of the demon
stration tomorrow will be that Nal
lory viii show the similarity Of the
scarlet fever protozoa to- the organism
which causes malaria. While the two
are not identical, the scarlet fever pro
tozoa in appearance suggests the mar
guerite' formation Of the malaria mi
crcbe.
Up TO now it has been held in the
medical world that the germ of scarle
fever was of vegetable organism.
