KOREAN HOUSES.
They Are Comfortable Neither In
Summer Nor Winter.


Summer Nor Winter.
The Korean style of architecture is
suited to anything but an extreme eli
mate such as prevails there During
the winter months it is very cold. The
houses are made Of bamboo frame
work, plastered within and without
with adobe mud The roof is matched
with rice straw, which is weather
proof. The inside may be made into
one room by the sliding back of a
screenlike partition. Just why these
were introduced it is impossible to
say, for they are but rarely used, as
privacy is never desired in Korea
This open space becomes the living
room, and even when travellers are
passing along and must halt for the
night they are invited to share a COM
mon sleeping place on the floor with
the entire family. The discomfort of
such an experience is extreme during
the summer. In the kitchen, which is
just without the living room, there is
located a most curious kind of stove.
From this clay pipes extend under the
floor to the living room. They warm
the house summer and winter alike,
for it has never entered their minds
that some means could be devised
whereby the heat could be turned off
from the other quarters.-Housekee

WALKING IN CIRCLES.
Why People Lost In Fog or Forest
Do Not Go STRAIGHT On.

why People Lost In Fog or Forest
Do Not Go straight On.
1t is matter of common knowledge
that when man is walking blindfold-
ed or is lost in a fog or in some un-
known forest or desert instead of
walking straight he has always a
tendency to work round in circle. The
most commonly accepted explanation
Of this curious fact is the slight in
equality of mans legs The result
Of one limb being longer than the
other will naturally be that a per-
son will unconsciously take longer
step with the longer limb, and con-
sequently will trend to the right or
to the left, according as the left or
right is the longer, unless the tendency
to deviation is corrected by the eye.
This explanation is supported by the
fact that in the enormous majority Of
cases the human legs are proved to be
Of unequal length. The careful meas
urements Of series Of skeletons
showed that no less than 80 per cent
had the lower limbs unequal in length:
35 per cent had the right limb longer
than the left, while in SO per cent the
left leg was the longer The left leg
being therefore, more often the longer,
it is to be expected that the inclina-
ton should take place more frequently
to the right than to the left, and this
conclusion is quite borne out by OBJ
servations made on a number of per-
sons when walking blindfolded

How Some Medicines Are Obtained.
From the horns and bones of various
animals may be procured by distilla-
ton muriate Of ammonia, commonly
used in medicines for both internal
and external use. From burned bones
comes phosphate of soda, so valuable
in physic, and prussic acid, used me-
dicinally as one of the most powerful
narcotic substances, may be obtained
from animal matter in a state of de-
composition.

reason."-Shoe Retailer.
