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
tonishinE RnpidIty.

The appearance in this country of
the Corean twins, as they are termed,
has caused them to be the subject of
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 IL was so
affected that it was deemed necessary
to separate the natural band which
held them together in order to save
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 who lived has entirely
recovered, and apparently is in excel
lent health. It may be added that she
has been adopted by the French sur
geon who otficiated at the operation.
- Physicians and others who have eS-
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
Ioun-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 IL years old, and well
developed for their age, having no
notable physical imperfection except
the hand which connects them. As
in the case 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-

he has served almost continuously west

One notable event Of his service in
Cuba was the unearthing of the frauds

the fulfillment Of the duties required
in his new sphere, and is probably as
well equipped for the position of in

With Gladness They Hail the Re
turn of Gentle Spring.
Winter Always Is a Bitter Season for
Weary Willie, But In the Good
Old Summer Time He En-
joys Life.

There is some n 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 only Dusty, but his
Notwithstanding Willie, Meander-
ing Mike, Peregrinating Pete, and all
the rest of the family OF the great I'M
washed, commonly known as tramps.
The winter time, says the Chicago
Tribune, is a bitter season to the genus
tramp. If he can he goes south; but
even down south, away down south,
sleeping u 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 issterribly overdone. Town
marshals down south are cold and
heartless and unfeeling, 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 are not enough cold handouts
to go around.
So uninviting has been the southern
field during the last few years that
many tramps h%eroically prefer to re-
main in the north during the winter,
and take their chances of freezing to
leath rather the lingering
starvation and the horrible certainty
of working in the brickyard if they
stray to the other side of Mason and
Dixon's 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

aud after they get a little none

as long as TREY can on their savings,
and when that is done worry along
again until their dire distress drives
them back to work.
But now the good old summer time

%Joices. In his dreams he sees againth
fields and woods, with the blazing
camp fire along the track, and smells
the chicken cooking in the oyster can.
In the summer he can sleep out of
doors without the horrible fear Of
waking up and finding his feet frozen.
In summer he can lock himself in a
box a without wondering if he will
freeze solid before the car is opened
again. He can take trips down to
little country towns IN cirensAdays
and reap a harvest of handouts, and
probably cake. In summer he doesn't
have to hang around a police station
and beg his hereditary enemies to give
him shelter. Instead of the hard,
cold brick floor Of a police station, he
knows that within a few short weeks
he can sink to rest on sweet smelling
clover in fine, large barn. In the
morning he can borrow some eggsfrom
a nest, and, wandering over to a near
by woods. build his fire and cook a
dainty breakfast.
The summe time, with soft, ianguor-
Gus breezes, and starlit nights, and
nodding trees, and babbling brooks,
is the season that Wandering Willie
loves. And he looks for it, and waits
forit, and'yearns for the "dear.o old sum
mer time" and when it comes he re-
joices and is exceeding glad.

INTREPID NAVIGATOR.
Capt. Howard Blackburn Has Made
Several Big Journeys in u Very
Small Boat.

Capt. Howard blackburn has the
record of making longer voyages in q
small boat than any other sailor in the
world. He has just returned from a
trip in which he travelled several
thousand miles over the inland waters
OF the United States. The route he
took was. indeed, interesting. He
sailed around Cape Cod and through
Long Island sound. and then down the
Jersey coast as far as Atlantic City
and Cape May. Then he went to New
York and up the Hudson to the Erie
canal, and through to Buffalo. He
kept on through the lake to Detroit,
and then to Chicago. He was in Chi
cago the latter part of August, and

Chen is slightly taller than his broth
er, and somewhat better developed, be-
ing more muscular. An examination
shows that his heart beats much more
rapidly, while his respiratory capacity
is somewhat greater than that of the
other. The smaller twin is left-hand-
ed, although from his position he is
obliged to use both hands to such an
extent that he is practically ambidex-
trous. He is more susceptible to
changes in temperature, and apparent-
ly feels pain more than his brother, but
in appearance seems to be equally as
healthy.
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 move without injuring them
selves allows them to be quite active,
and their motions are so harmonious
that they not only walk, but run. and
play various games without difficulty.
OAe Leaf WHICH JDe SlameSe were un-
able to do was that of facing each
other, one twin resting his hands on
the shoulders of the other. The Coreans
can easily assume this attitude, ow-
ingto the elasticity of the band which
unites them. It is of a -membraneous
character, md measures about three
and one-half inches in diameter. When
not stretched or pressed in any way, 1t
is about eight and one-half inches in
circumference. When the twins are
MOVING in any Y a the band sss#s llAlssa1s and
d%ininishes slightly, apparently being
connected with the principal trunk
muscles Of the body.
The Coreans have shown quite re-
marknble intelligence. Whentley first
came to the United States with their
father, they remained in Bridgeport,
Conn, and were provided with al in
%structor, from whom they acquired the
rudiments Of the English Language.
Then they took up a number Of tie
primary studies, and have advanced
quite rapidly.

after q stay of about two weeks went
down through the old Illinois and
Michigan canal to the Illinois river and
to the Mississippi, He kept on the lat

in November. From Columbus he went
by rail to Mobile, Ala, and thence
through the gulf of Mexico to st. Jo-
seph bay, Pensacola, Tampa and Key
West. From Key West he started for
Miami, but in the Biscayne bay he went
ashore, and later decided to sell his
boat.
