Difficulty of Corean Language.

capital story has been told by an
American missionary who has just arrived
in London from Corea. The difficulty Of
learning the language of that country Is
increased enormously owing to the large
number of words which, with a slight in

again with an entirely different meaning.
The missionary in question was preach

BEATING THE WIND
On Toboggan the Most Exciting and

The chief Davos run, the Holsters course,
is over the last two miles of the highroad
between Dayos and Holsters, although
when the track Is in good condition much
longer distance can be ridden. AS rule,
there is plenty of snow during the winter
months; sometimes, however, there has
been a scarcity of this precious article, and
the races had to be run on a road coated
with ice. Fancy dashing down two miles of
this slippery surface at full pace! Those
who have not experienced the sensations of
tobogganing or witnessed race cannot
possibly realize how intensely exciting such
run can be. AS each corner is approach

Argon in the Air.

r rom the Lancet.
An interesting communication was made
recently to the Paris Academy of Science
on the subject of argon in atmospheric air.
M Moissan reported that he had followed
up the researches of M Schloesing, who
had already determined the proportion of
argon existing In certain specimens of air.
By utilizing the property which calcium
possesses Of absorbing at one and the same
time the oxygen, the nitrogen and all the
impurities which are found in atmospheric
air, and by the use of a special apparatus
Of which he had already given "a descrip-
ton to the academy. nj. Moissan had been
able to estimate the amount of argon found
In the air of Paris, of London. of Berlin,
of Vienna, of ST. Petersburg and of Athens
In all these towns the amount was fden-
teal The same proportion of argon was
also found in samples of air taken in the
in the Ionian sea- in the Gulf OF
Naples, in the valley Chamounix at the
Grands Mulets and at the top of Mont
Blanc. Air collected in the middle of the
Atlantic appeared to be slightly richer In
argon than that from other places. This
Illustrates the remarkable uniformity OF
the composition of the air. The observa-
ton that the air collected In the middle OF
the Atlantic appeared to contain slightly
greater proportion of argon than that from
other places is probably in some way con-
nected with IT'S solubilfty In water and the

to their number the following examples

A goose is the typical Christmas
bird, although most families dine on
turkey that day, and some like pair
of ducks and fine roast of beef. The
goose must be young, or what is called
green goose. Yellow and flexible
feet are n sign of youth. A goose is
dressed and trussed In the same man
ner as turkey, but the skin should
be thoroughly washed.
Sage and onions are the traditional
scasonings. and a very good way to
stuff q goose Is to boil and mash some
white potatoes and season highly with
onion juice, sage, also salt and pepper.
Dredge the outside lightly with salt
and pepper ana thicEly with -four.
Lay the goose on a rack in the baking
pan and put a few tablespoonfuls OF
water in the pan; basic often. Twenty
minutes to the pound Is the average
time to allow for the baking. Garnish
with blood oranges cut In sections on
