then united Corean tribes and their al
lies, the Chinese. But the final victory
was with Japan, and another tributary
arch was erected, which is still standing,
and as trophy the victorious Japanese
carried home with them 10000 ears cut
from the heads Of hapless Coreans. A
portion of these grewsome trophies were
buried in each province of Japan, and a
monument, known as the monument of
ears, was placed over each grave. To-
day these monuments stretch from one
end of the mikado's empire to the other.
some of them so close together that two
of them may be seen at the same time.
AS lasting reminder of this invasion
stands the tributary arch which the
Coreans were themselves compelled to
erect by the Japanese Gen. Kato and
again for number of years their contri-
buttons helped to fatten the Japanese
treasury.
Japan's third invasion of Corea came
in 1894. China claimed suzerainty over
Corea, and the claim was not disputed at
Seoul. On the other hand, Corea, like
China, wished to keep the foreigners out
of her territory. Japanese traders were
numerous in Corean ports, and Japan
proposed that they should stay there
The murder Of japanese by Corean
at Shanghai was the foundation of the
war which soon followed. China refused
to punish the murderer or to turn him
over to Japan. but rather sent him, and
! the body of his victim, back to Seoul,
where the murderer was covered with
honors by the Emperor of Corea, while
the body Of his victim was cut to pieces
Japan Immediately sent an invading
army into Corea, who in turn promptly
called upon China for assistance, which
was given.
The war that followed was not Of long
duration. Japan was victorious, and
claimed the right of establishing pro-
tectorate over Corea- To this the pow
ers of Europe, and especially Russia, OBJ
jected. and the victors had to be salts
| fed with war indemnity, the acknowl-
edgment of Corean independence by
China and the cession of the Island Of

CURIOSITY KILLS A BOY.

as young student at school in Eng-
land did the other day. The sad part
Of the experiment was too complete q
success, because the boy was found
dead in bathroom by his father.
During his ii years of life Sydney
Cummin earned a reputation of ventur-
ing into the most risky experiments. He
was bright, cheerful and apt pupil at
school, and was unable to content him
self with the explanations of phenomena
found in text and other books. On one
occasion he jumped from a high tree,
using an old umbrella as a parachute,
and on another he nearly blew himself
to pieces with gunpowder while investi-
eating the force of explosives.
The other evening he decided he
would attempt to realize the sensation
OF hanging and cutting himself down
before he'became unconscious. He went
into the bathroom of his fathers house
and locked the door. After time his
father became anxious and burst open
the door to find the dead body of his SON
suspended by piece Of cord from a nail
at the top Of the door. The knife with
which he intended to cut himself down
was found open in his pocket.

in figures, but in the enthusiasm ane
patriotism of her troops and her people.
The Japanese people are animated by a
patriotism which borders on fanaticism.
They count it privilege to make any
sacrifice, no matter how great, for the
nation. The japanese soldier is a fatal
list. He considers it not only duty but
an honor, the greatest honor that can
come to him, to die fighting for the ma
ton.
1t is told that in the great ceremony in
honor of those Japanese who had fallen
in the fighting around Tientsin Gen.
Fukushima made speech to the troops
who had participated in those battles
in which he told them he felt it an honor
to have commanded such men as those
who were dead, but it was still greater
honor to have died for Japan. This one
lesson is impressed upon the soldier
from the day he joins the colors. 1t is
made a part of his military education,
and it is small wonder that it produces
a wonderful effect upon the army dis
cipline. The autocratic government OF
the car, on the other hand, demands and
receives a blind obedience rendered
without other interest than the obeying
of orders so as to escape the punish
ments that come with disobedience. The
effect of the Japanese training makes of
their army an agile, enthusiastic, mobile
body, that stands out in strong contrast
to the slow moving, massive. machine Of
Russia.
The first conflict of the contest must
necessarily be on the sea. Japan must
control on the water before she can sue
cessfully transfer the conflict to the land.

the New York Sun in China during the

On peace footing the japanese army
numbers 10000 men. In time of war
this number can be increased to little
less than 650,000 men, but this is prac-
tically the extreme limit. Japan's peace
army is well equipped. Considering its
size it is well supplied with both ar
tillery and cavalry, though in neither
arm is it match for the enormous
strength of Russia. OF means of trans
portation there is an abundance. Suf-
ficient transports are at hand to put the
entire army into Corea within few days.
