One OF corea's superstitions.

Near the city of Seoul, the capital
Of Curea, is n hill called Pouk Han,
which was formerly covered with
trees. The legend runs that so long
az a tree remained on the hill so long

and therefore no one is allowed to

consequence of this want of forestry
has been that the trees have gradually
died of, until now only one is left.
ON this one tree 1t is believed that
the fate of the country rests, and

PREPARE FOR LONG FASTS.
Nature Takes Good Care of Animals
That Hibernate,

a large number of species of ami
mails undergo more or less prolonged
and continuous fasts during the Pc
riod OF their winter or summer sleep.
During such slumbers the more active
functions Of the body are to a great
extent suspended, while those that are
carried on act slowly and entail COM
paratively little waste of tissue and
energy. Moreover, before the period
OF the winter tOrpor or Information
takes place, many animals, such as
bears, accumulate large stores of fat
on various parts of the body, which
suffice to supply all the waste entailed
~ the respiratory function during the
period in question. Fat is also ac-
cumulated by the mouse-lemurs of
Madagascar previous to the summer
sleep, or aestivation, and is used up
in a similar manner their summer
sleeps being undertaken for the pur-
pose of avoiding the season of great
heat and drought, when food Is diff
ficult or impossible to procure.

Animals In Winter Quarters.

Many animals. like squirrels, COR
mice and hamsters. lay up supplies
of food in their winter quarters. on
which they feed during waking inter
walls In the torpor, SO that the fast is
by no means so prolonged or so con-
tinuOus. They are, however, yet other
animals, such as bats among mann
mails, frogs and toads among amphib-
ians, and the west African lung fish
among fishes, which apparently
mother put on fat nor lay up a store
of food during their period Of torpor;
which in the case of all OF them Is
unusually prolonged.

SALTWATER, Mimi, June 6.-The
mysterious disappearance of the body

John Jeremy, a saltwater fisherman,
arrived at the Ievee with the body and
turned 1t over to Sam BelisIe, d local
undertaken. Jeremy. who had been
hunting for the body several days, was
informed by County Attorney Nethaway
near Marine on Sunday that the body
had been found and that it was useless
for him to continue the search any
longer.
Jeremy says that he then started for
Saltwater and soon came across the
body floating in the river. A rope was
attached to it, but the body was not
fastened to anything, and he felt that
he had a good right to it. He tied it to
his boat, and being tired he turned
into a slough on the Wisconsin side
and didn't wake up until o'clock in
the evening, when he started for Still
water. reward of. $50 was offered
for the body, and Jeremy says he was
informed by Coroner Ffeligh today
that he could not lay clainr to any part
of the reward, inasmuch as the body
had been found by Mr.. Ward, of Ma
rine.
