Korean Prodioal Son

From the Korea Daily News
One OF the Korean judges had before him
most peculiar case to decide. A man in
Pyung-san died, leaving all his wealth to
his two sons, between whom he divided it
equally. The elder son soon squandered
ali his money, but the younger took good
care of his share and increased it by careful
investment. A short time ago the younger
brother received an anonymous letter telling
him that his fathers grave had been opened
and the head OF the body had been carried
away, but that it could be recovered If a
certain large sum OF money was brought to
certain place at a certain hour. The
younger brother complied with the demand
and went to the appointed rendezvous
where he found man with n paper mask
over his face. In a. fit of anger he struck
the masked robber and killed him The
mask came off and behold II was the elder
brother. Now the law has to determine
what punishment is due the younger brother
for the killing of the elder under these try
ing circumstances.

ming around a beautiful bay guarded by
rocky islands, which rise like sentinels out
of the blue Mediterranean. At one end OF
the bay is a huge fortIlcation, COMMANDED
by Turkish soldiers. and at the other is the
Kasbah, fortified castle, containing the
government offices. Between these two,
running aro-nd inside the horns of the
crescent, are white buildings, mixed here
and there with structures of green, blue
and rose pink, which, rising almost straia Mt
up from the WAFER, form great bow
with these forts at the end. Behind are
other buildings of three and four stories,
and over them all may be seen the tall
lean white mnaretS of the mosques with
green caps on their tops The houses are
of Arabic architecture and oriental in
shape, and When one climbs to the roofs of
the highest buildings. as l did today, he
sees that each house is built about a 1T

upon which the shops face and where the
customers sit while they bargain.
Like a Grape Arbor.
The chief shopping section of Trpoli con-
sists of a mighty grape arbor Here the
street IS rooted over with lattice work
upon which grape vines have been trained,
and their cool green leaves temper the rays
of the sun. This street is lined with shops,
some Of which are about fifteen feet square.
Such shops are considered great business
establishments, and their turbaned owners
are among the nabobs of the city. The or
binary store is not wide as long as
a library table, and there are many small
that the merchant within could not ask a
friend to enter without moving his goods.
Almost all the streets such that wheeled
vehicles cannot go through them. and some
will not even admit donkeys camels.
Most Of the freight is carried by porters,
VINO go about with great loads on their
backs or heads. In the wider streets little
donkeys are the chief beasts Of burden.
while the camels carry the heavier loads.
Water Camels.
One Of the most interesting features Of
Tripon is connected with its water supply
This town of Cu,UlU has no water mains or
sewers. There are no hydrants, and the
water used comes entirely from wells in or
near the city. Some of 1t is carried in goat
skins OF. the backs of men. some of ii in
clay Jars on the heads of women and a
great deal in barrels the humps of
camels. The came.s kneei down by the
wells while the barrels are filed. Each
camel carries two barrels at load, one on
each side of its hump, and on the horn Of
the saddle Is hung the measuring tub,
turned upside down. The water Is sold at
SO much per tub, and the~camel owner has
his regular customers to whom he furnishes
their daily supply.
American Sewing Machines.
The only modern thing l have seen in
Tripoh is the American sewing machine,
which is used In the street of the talors.
Every business here has rs own section,
and one long street is filed with tajlors,
who sit cross-Ieggcd ON the floors OF their
little cuD5yhole shops they sew. Some
of them use hand machines, which they
place on little tables beside them, and some
nave table machines of Il weu-knuwn Amer
lean make Where the ordinary table ma

machines equally good which never
seen abroad.
In the Bazaars.
But let US take a walk through the ba-
zaars and observe these Barbary pirates
at work. They are Il busy people and have
many manufactures. although everything
| is turned out by hand Here. for instance
is the bazaar of the jewelers.. 1t consists
of a street. walled on both sides with little
rooms not much bigger than an upright
piano In the center of every room there
Is 4 little furnace, fed through a bellows
worked by boy. Here is one III which a
long sowned. dark-faced Arab holds a pot
of molten silver over the fire. Now lie takes
1t off and casts the white metal into brace
lets and anklets. In the next shop q tur-
baned man sits fiat on the floor and pounds
a gold bar into earrings big around as
q saucer, while over the way smiths
making silver anklets, each of which will
weigh several pounds. All Mohammedans
are fond Of gay ornaments, and the Be-
douins of the desert use iewelrY their
savings banks, turning their earnings into
the gold and silver worn by their daughters
and wives. Many of the articles of great
weight Some Of the earrings are as large
around as ones wrist, and a silver brooch
of common wear is the size of a tea plate,
fastened on by prong hinged to it's back.
Among the Shoemakers.
In the bazaar of the shoemakers 1 saw
scores of cobblers at work. The American
shoe Is practically G ".Etnc in Mohamme-
dan countries, and the Arab gets along
without shoe strings or shoe buttons. Both
women and men wear slippers. and they are
always of the brightest colors, the favorite
for men being a lemon yellow. The man
usually bends down the back Of the heel
and wears 1t under his foot The women
only red slippers and the richer ones
often have SLIPPERS of Nsivet embroidered
with gold. All footwear Is made by hand;
and the shoemaker's hammer is round
paper weight affair shaped somewhat Ike
old-fashioned glass ink bottle The shoe
maker holds this by the knob, and rubs and
pounds with 1t at will. The shoe shops are
small; the ordinary cobbler usually has
three four boys sitting cross-legged be-
side him working away.
Tripoli makes great deal of cloth. There
are streets here filled with WeaVers. in
which men work on hand looms in just
about the same way as they did in the time
of Mohammed.
Milling in Tripoli.
1 wish l could show you the roller patent
process of making flour. in this old fashion
ed Mohammedan city. Tripoli is the Mime
apolis of Barbary, and it manufactures meal
for shipment all over the country. 1t has
many mills which are worked, day in and
day out, the year through. Each h-ill looks

Speciality of American Forms.


As comprehensive a collection as possible
will be gathered, with a speciality made %:
American forms. and this will be arranged
In two series, one with eye to the eyo-
lutionary progress of the species. the other
to show the distribution Of horned animals
by countries and continents. Maps Charts
and photographs will accompany the lat
ter exhibition in great profusion to further
indicate localiZation of hauntS variations
in secies and so forth The library Of the
Geological Society will be placed in conven-
lent disposal for reference, and altogether
the coleJ lion will represent bureau Of in
formation for sportsmen and scientists such
as has never before been attempted
A handsomely printed and illustrated
pamphlet, written by DR.. Hornaday, is pub
lished by the institution part one of a
series of printed reports, entitled The
National COLLECTION of Heads and Horns
This number Is chiefly devoted to a descrip.
ton of the present nucleus collection.
First the writer considers the mountain
sheep, and says that of the specimens In
the nucleus collection the most remarkable
is colossal par of horns from the greaS
Siberian argali, Owls ammon. Thi5
animal is the largest of the worlds moun-
tain sheep, and its home Is the altai nouns
tains OF western Mongolia. The fully adult
male argali stands about forty-eight inches
in shoulder height. but for its body In bs
in fair proportion to Its enormoue horns 70

or ibex horns the collection includes some
excellent examples The great Asiatic ibex
is represented by horns from the Alta1
mountains forty-five and one-quarter inches
long. or goats and goat-ljke species repre-
sented perhaps the most remarkable horn
producer is the suleiman markhor OF
Beluchistan, southern Asia. Its head is
armed with huge pair Of gimlets twenty
seven and one-quartcr inches long, set on
the head ike the letter " nineteen inches
between tips The spiral twist of each horn
Is regular and perfect. In the group OF
short-horned goats Is the rare takin, from
southeastern China. Of which Mr.. Ward re-
cords only fifteen specimens.
The White mountain goat, found only in
northwestern North America, Is represented
py a notably fine mounted head. Its horns
are small but, being very strong and az
sharp as skewers, they are extremely useful
weapons.
In approaching the true antelopes," says
DR. Hornaday, we behold great variety
Of species and marvellous variety of forms
In size they vary from the tiny duiker
with legs no larger than pencil up to
the gigantic Gland, an animal as large az
an OK. The array Of different colors and
the variety of color patterns are fairly be-
widening But It is in the head weapons
and ornaments of the anteiOpes that we find
the greatest diversity. In fashionng these
the ingenuity of nature seems to have run
riot. In glancing over the horns OF the an
telopes a whole II is difficult TO Imagine
how a greater number of varieties would
have been produced in the 1913 species found
within the group Of antelopes. Regarding
