TWINS FROM COREA.
They Are More Vigorous Than
Their Siamese Predecessors.
Also Have More Freedom Of Motion
and Stronger Mentality-Have
Learned English with As
tonishing RnpIdity.

The appearance in this country of
the Corean twins, as they are termed,
has caused them to be the subject of
considerable study among scientists
who were familiar with the Siamese
twins, who attracted such attention
when first exhibited in the United
States. Comparisons have also been
drawn between the Coreans and the
female twins upon whom the operation
was performed in Paris a few years
ago. The latter were also exhibited
in the United States, but, as will be re-
membered, the health OF one was so
affected that it was deemed necessary
to separate the natural band which
held them together in order to ave
the life of the healthier child. The
twin who was afflicted with consump-
ton died after the operation, but ac-
cording to the latest reports from
France, the girl wholly has entirely
recovered, and apparently is in excel
lent health. 1t may be added that she
has been adopted by the French sur
geon who otficiated at the operation.
Physicians and others who have TX
amined the Coreans are of the opin-
ion that they bid fair to live much
longer than the Siamese, as they are
active and vigorous, and thus far have
had no ailment of consequence. Lao
Toun-Chen and Liao-Sien-Ne-Chen, as
will be noted by the accompanying
photograph, have typical oriental fea-
lures, and might be taken fer Chinese,
but they were born in Corea. They
are a little over ~ years old, and well
developed for their age, having no
notable physical imperfection except
the band which connects them. AS
in the ease Of the girl twins, each has
all of the usual organs, and it is the
opinion of eminent surgeons that they
could be separated if desired, with
little danger of fatality. Liao-Toun-

TRAMPS ARE JOYFUL.
With Gladness They Hail the Re

Winter Always Is a Bitter Season for
Weary Willie, Bnt IN the Good
Old Summer Time He En-
joys Life.

There is scme one who rejoices that
the good old summer time is almost
here again, even more than does the
gay jaybird, the merry meadowlark, or
the festive bobolink. 1t is Dusty
Rhodes. And not~oIly Dusty, but his
friends-Wandering Willie, Meander-
ing Mike, Peregrinating Pete, and all

washed, commonly known as tramps.
The winter time, says the Chicago
Tribune, is a bitter aso to the genus
tramp. Ii he can he goes south; but
even down south, away down south,
sleeping out in January is no idle
dream. Besides, SO many tramps
throng southwark when the snow COM
mences to fall in the north that the
tramp industry in Dixie during the
winter time is terribly oyerdone. Town
marshals down south are cold and
heartless and unfeeiing, and southern
town boards make horrible ordinances
to the effect that people with no visible
means of support shall be put to work
in the city brickyard. So many tramps
go south that there are members of
the profession working both sides of
the street all the way to New Orleans,
and there + not enough cold handouts
to go around.
So uninviting has been the southern
field during the last few years that
many tramps heroically prefer to re-
main in the north during the winter,
and take their chances of freezing to
leath rather hantosufferthe lingering
starvation and the horrible certainty
of working in the brickyard if they
stray to the other side of Mason and
Dixon line.
So every winter thousands of tramps
remain during the cold season in all
the large cities of the north. Chicago
winters thousands of them. Every
freezing night finds hundreds of
tramps besieging every police station

shows that his heart beats much more
rapidly, while his respiratory capacity
is somewhat greater than that of the
other. The smaller twin is 1eft-hand-

obliged to use both hands to such an
extent that he is practically ambidex-

The Coreans, says the Scientific
American, apparently have much more
freedom of motion than the other
types referred TO. They can stand
nearly side by side. face each other
squarely. The freedom with which
they can nov without injuring them
selves allows them to be quite active,
n their motions are so harmonious
that they not only walk, but run, and
play various games without difficulty.

the shoulders of the other. The Coreans
can easily this attitude, ow-
ingto the elasticity of the band which
unites them. Tt is of a m-embraneous
character, and measures about three
and one-half inches in diameter. When

is about eight and one-half inches in

moving in any way, the band swells and

connected with the principal trunk
muscles of the body.
The Coreans have shown quiIe re-
marEnble intelligence. Whenthe first
came to the United States with their
father, they remained in Bridgeport,

rudiments Of the English language.
Then they took up a number Of the
