Tree of Death.

The Koreans are greatly excited
over the appearance of a bamboo tree
through the cracks of the floor of the
room last occupied by the late General
Min Young Whan, says the Korea
News. Since the suicide Of the gen.
eral in November last the room has
been kept closed, and when the room
was opened few days ago the bam-
boo had already attained the height
of more than four feet. The Koreans
find a parallel to this phenomenon in
an event that occurred in Songdo 500
years ago when a patriot defending
the emperor was done to death ON a
stone bridge just outside the city.
Several months after his death a bam-
boo sprouted up between the stones On
the very spot where the patriot had
breathed his last.
