the drivers was 237,S00 pounds. The
diameter of the boiler was IS 81

Father Time in Korea.

The calculation OF the Korean year
is said to begin about the latter end of
January, about month later than our
own. The moons of the calendar are
made alternately long months of thirty
days and short caes of twenty-nine.
The first is long month, called a
"great moon;" the second a short
moon, the third 4 great moon again,
and so on.
The moons are divided into three
parts Of ten days each, instead of into
four weeks, as with us. The day is di-
vided into twelve hours, each one Of
which. is twice as long as one of our
own. The Korean day begins at mid
night.
In calculating age, Koreans take
small account of any fraction of a
year. The moment Korean baby is
born he is said to be one year old, and
one year old he remains until the COM
ing of the next New Years Day, when
he is suddenly advanced to be- two
years old, just as all his compatriots
are pronounced a year older, no matter
| how near the close of the expiring year
they may have been born.
AS may be believed, time is not Of
! much value to community which
| reckons on such a system. The means
Of calculating age of individuals savors
| Of "Alice in Wonderland"
American travellers conclude it is
safe to deduct year and six months
from the given age of Korean to tDd
