Uncomfortable Korean Houss..

The "kang," the Korean house
furnace, renders the atmosphere of
the inns where travellers take their
rest almost insufferable. 1t is pic
tured as a primitive though eff
fective means of heating the houses
throughout the kingdom. A small
fire of brushwood is lighted in the
small furnace at one side of the
house, thence numerous fues under
the mud floor conduct the smoke
and hot air to an upright chimney
or hole in the wall at the opposite
end or side, and a little fire suffices
to thoroughly heat large house. A
traveller says he is not surprised to
Gnd coughs and colds common, for

The policy of France was not one
of conquest. France does not expect
any opposition upon the part of any
power against this course
The official view of the situation Is
as follows.
The question is entirely between
France and Morocco. There Is not the
slightest reason for outside complied
tlons France is not actuat,d by uI-
terror motives. The occupation az
Oudja is for the purpose OF demon
strating to Morocco that she cannot
lIout France with impunity as hereto
fore France has been extremely lcni-

has contented herself with presenting
her claims through diplomatic circles.
They have been disregarded SO
long that France has been compelled

In seizing Oudia, France places her
finger upon the nerve center of Mo-
