A FUNERAL.
Road Made for the Procession and

Temple Suit.
London Graphic; The crown prin-
cess of Korea had been dead a month
Before her funeral took place. During
the interval a road was made, seven
miles out of the city, and a temple
was built to hold the body. AS the
procession left the palace gates some
of the mourners, according to ancient
custom. tried to stop the coffin by
pushing back the bearers, who in their
turn steadily drove forward. The idea
of this is to show regret at the pass
ing Of the body, while the memorable
power of death, overcoming all oppo-
sition, holds its way. During this COM
motion the priest, on each end of the
platform holding the bier, urged the
bearers with a long pole. the end of
which was painted red. In accord
ance With ancient custom the pole
was dipped in a pot of red paint, and
those bearers who neglected their work
received a dab of red on their white
garments, and at the end of the day
those bearing the mark were pun
ished.
Funerals in Korea are always sup
posed to take place at night, n to
keep up this superstition men carry
ing long gauze lanterns on small poles
u by the side OF the coffin and line
the route at the start. Curious and
wonderful are the ancient costumes
which make their appearance Ola such
occasions. Their beauty is not shown
to advantage by their wearers, as they
are the poorest of horsemen. Even
holding on to the saddle with both
hands is not a sufficient guarantee of
safety, but they must rave two grooms
to walk at the head OF their tiny
mounts to prevent accidents. In the
procession, which takes the whole day
to pass. are chairs containing figures
Of devils. Great ape horses, hideous
In appearance, accompany the collins,
presumably that the deceased may
nave a mount in the other land. There
are two collins. the ore in this instance
contained the body OF the princess, the
other being intended to deceive the evil
spirits. At the graveside, in a COW
cred temple. the women of the palace
in ancient costumes howl and moan
the night through, their wailing rising
above all other sounds.
The princess funeral, as a whole,
appeared more like a page from h
arabian Nights tina anything else.
Notwithstanding the empty Golfers OF
the Korean ministry the sum of some
thing like 10000 0 yen was expended
on this funeral.

fitted with small glass lights. through
which the surroundings can be observed,

other fittings the globe carries q steel

An interesting experiment with this
