FACTS ABOUT KOREA
Mining and Agriculture Almost
Resources.

Korea Is an extremely mountainous
country. says Angus Hamilton Is his
work on Korea" Islands, harbo,s
and mountains are its most pronounc-
ed natural feature, and nearly the
whole OF the coast consists of the
slopes OF the various mountain ranges
which come down to the sea.
Mining and agriculture are almost
the sole natural resoruses. There are
great possibilities, however. In the
awakening energies and instincts OF
the people, which may lead them to
create markets of their own by grow
ing more than suffices for their I'm me-
diate requirements. AS yet, notwith-
standing the improvements which
have been inaugurated, and the In.
dustrial schemes which the Govern
ment has introduced, the reform
movement lacks cohesion. The ma
ton Is without ambition. But the pros
pect is hopeful.
Pyeng yang, the largest aud most
important city In Northern Korea,
was founded by a fugitive Chinese
statesman who came over with 5000
followers In the days when David was
King at Jerusalem. His name Is Xii
and he was regarded as the founder of
Kore an civilization. His we'll is still
at Pyeng-yang. and on high hill to
the north OF the city Is his tomb
Pyeng yang is the second city in the
Empire. 1t has a population of be-
tween IS, 900 and SO, 600 iuhabitants
It's people are free and independent
full OF energy and spirit.
The dress of Koreans Is white. Ali
classes are alike in this the quality
alone making the difference; even
your ricksha coolie Is grabbed In ISa-
bella-colored white, writes Angus
Hamilton In his work on Korea"
The officials are elegantly super
Tor In their manner and appearance.

An Industry DESTROYED.

In 1883 the United States imported
4,2o9, OILS pounds OF raw silk. In
1908 the imports had increased to
15,27o,353 pounds. This country
now supplies Its inhabitants with the
bulk OF the silk fabrics used by them,
although 1t still imports tidy quail
ty of very high grade textiles from
France and Germany. Curiosly
enough, while the silk textile indus
try has waxed strong In this coun-
try under Protection, the free admis-
sion into Great Britain of silk goods
has destroyed the once -four
ishing silk industry of that nation.

Early Weeds.

There are weeds that come earlier
than the crops. the many varieties Of
them ar- adapted to cold weather,
warm weather. dry seasons, rainy
spells. and they spring up readily In
soil that contain the elements best
suitable Tor their existence. 1t re-
quires very little effort to destroy
weeds when they are coming up and
beginning to grow, but they are very
persistent after they become estab-
lished. If the ground Is kept loose
the weeds will not secure hold. as
every working OF the ground with
the harrow or cutivator destroy 8
thousands of weeds seeds that may
be just beginning to terminate.

SUFFERS GREATLY.
Wheat Crop is in Bad Con-
ditiOn.
Corn Prospect is good Report of
Commissioner of Agriculture.

Commissioner Hubert Vreeland has
issued the following crop report OF
Kentucky. Owing to drought OF
last fall and the late seeding of the
wheat crop 1t was In bad condition
to stand the long, cold. Consequent
ly the report comes from all parts OF
the State that the wheat crop has suf-
feres very materially, and nothing
but an early spring and favorable
sum mer can Insure even a fair crop
OF the cereal. Winter oats are nearly
a failure all over the State from the
same causes. Grasses and clover have
also suffered, and the presest condi-
tion will not exceed 50 or 90 per cent.
OF an average.
There Is a good prospect for the
planting OF a corn and potato crop.
Live stock has generally stood the
winter we'll, although feed Is scarce
In many localities. There Is some
cholera among hogs In the western
part of the State. CATTLE, sheep,
hogs and horses are about an average
in number throughout the State.
There lisa considerable falling off In
the number OF mules In many coun-
ties. The prospect of apples and
peaches Is fairly good. The low
prices of dark or export tobacco
have greatly discouraged the farmers
who grow these types. The indica-
lions are that the acreage Of dark to-
bacco will be very materially deceased.
The prices being paid for Burley are
more satisfactory and the area on
which this particular variety Is grown
will be considerably enlarged.
The farmer, like the ground hog
has been housed all winter. Conse-
quently little work has been done.
Scarcely furrow has been run for
the spring crop.

Beam in His Own Eve.

Representative Clarence D. Van
Duser, of Nevada, has been assailing
certain Western mining companies
that, with bogus pamphlets and re-
ports, fleece gullible persons In the
East.
"But 1t Is wonder to me-" he
said, THAT a certain one of these
companies has any success at all, for
1t is conducted by as illiterate and
thick headed a man as l have ever

This pnblic COMMUNICATION from the

& very short time there was a large
demand for the volume.

kind of man whom people stare after

undergroWn Parisans he bulks large.

GUS legends, constituting a sort of lit

He has Il wide following. personal as

The early career of this noteworthy
man is interesting. He is the son of i
Lutheran minister of Alsace, born ut
Wibersville, in the Yosges, ON Sunday
morning, Jan. 3, 1852, while his father
was preaching in the village church
He was only seven years old when his
father died, and yet he was the eldest
of five children. The family moved to
Phalsbourg, and there Charles labored
In the fields and studied for the min
istry. He was sent to Paris at four
teen and took a degree at the Sorbonne
in 1869. lie was a student of theology
at the University of Strassburg during
the Franco-Prussian war; and there he
underwent Il sort of spiritual revolu-
ton, losing his religious faith. He read
Spinoza and found in that philosopher
something to compensate for what he
had lost, but two simple incidents led
to the restoration of his religious life
One was the first sight of the Alps.
The mountains seemed to him Gods
witnesses The other event was some
thing that has happened to nearly ev-
erybody-simply the sight Of his moth
er on returning home after a long alb
sence. She was there, loyal to her du-
ty, doing her daily work with tranquil
energy, never wearied and never dis
couraged, and the very thought of her
brought quietude, content, faith.

tingen in 1875. and from there he re-
turned to Alsace and became assistant
