far devoted only to passenger carrying.
Their franchises qualify them, however,
to carry freight also, and, in time, they
will doubtless exercise the privilege. Indeed

Grated in. Los Angeles county, has blossomed
out as freight carrier The innovation
has provoked lawsuit to permanently en-

no doubt end in establishing its right to
do so without let or hindrance The electric
railways in this city and in the transbay
cities are exercising the right OF freight
carrying in a modified degree by hauling
over their tracks the fuel consumed in
their respective power-houses. and it is
only question of time, probably, when
they will assume the character of common

I doubt not there are good copper mines

exist. Under the Japanese the country will
be thoroughly prospected.
Americans are doing much TO modernize
Seoul. The city has about 10000 people,
who live inside walls forty or fifty feet
high. Most Of the houses are matched
huts. There are few wide streets, but
they are narrow and winding. The water
until now has come from wells sunken here
and there in the midst of the city, and one
OF the chief businesses has been that of
the water carrier who trots about from
house to house with two buckets fastened
TO a pole on his back. The sewage flows
through the streets in drains or open
bitches and everything is unsanitary to an
extreme.

capacity of 100000 gallons per day The
