PATRIOTISM IN COREA.
Where Men Would Be Run Over Just
 to Warn Their Emperor.

F Out of Corea comes a story of the fam atical devotion shown to the shadow En- peror of the land by those of his subjects who still resent the rule of the Japanese and view each move of their virtual mas ters with deep suspicion. In this instance. several patriots let themselves be run over by railroad train, if only His Majesty might be warned by their death that he was flying into the trap set for his feet by Prince Ito.
 month ago the Emperor announced that he was going to leave Seoul and take trip to Fusan, the most easterly city of the peninsula and wholly a Japanese set tlement. This was an unprecedented thing for the Emperor to do, since for countless generations Corean kings and emperors had been content to sit in the Hall of Congratulations in the Mulberry palace at Seoul and let subjects from other parts of the land come to them to pay them homage. Despite the protests of the pa- triots Prince Ito, who was engineering the trip, ruled, and the Emperor set out over the Seoul-Fusan railway to visit the seaport at the other terminal
 It became known by the Coreans along the route that the Japanese battleship Azuma was at anchor in the harbor of Fusan, and that part of the welcoming
 
 was to be luncheon to the Emperor on board the ship. Immediately the rumor grew to the conviction that as soon as Prince Ito had the Emperor safely on the Azuma's deck, anchor would be hoisted and the last of the line of Corean rulers would be whisked off to Japan, there to die in a dungeon.
 The Emperor had his luncheon on board the battleship in Fusan harbor, and was put safely back on his own territory again. But during the course of the lunch con, Prince Ito made conversation by tell ing the puppet ruler that he had learned that at Taiku, one of the large towns on the line of the railway, a party of pa triots convinced that the Emperor was going to his doom, had determined to lay themselves on the rails as his train ap- preached the station. They had believed that by this act of sacrifice their monarch might be made to see that he was ap- preaching immediate danger.
 The patriots had been dissuaded by a Japanese policeman.

INSANE GOVERNOR CAUSES TERROR Makes Life In Siberia Horrible Inferno
 
SOLDIER DESCRIBES PLACE
convicts Suffer Terribly at Hands of the Privileges Are Taken Away-Ceebratin
 With Prisoners in Irons.

St. Petersburg, March 27.-An insane prison governor in Siberia is making life an inferno to the political prisoners un- der his control Their almost incredible sufferings are described in a letter from a condemned soldier, which has reached here.
 For some time past" he writes, the life of the conviets has been almost un- bearable. The arrival of a new governor at the prison has been celebrated by all the conviets being put in irons. We have been deprived of the privilege of making purchases of tea, sugar and tobacco. This means that we have no nourishment over and above the prison diet, and we are al- most dying of hunger.
 But this is nothing to the punshments that the convicts have to suffer For trivial breach of the prison regulations we are sent to the cells. In each dark, unheated cell there are from seven to ten convicts. Most of them are i'll, and they receive no medical attention. Those in valids who are fortunate enough to be in hospital are kept in irons. And the pun ishment of the lash is becoming more and more generally used.
 "The men who were confined in cell Mo- s, deprived of their clothes, refused to march with the others to their work; so M the director of the prison sent for a file of troops and ordered them to be taken forcibly. Two of the convicts were killed and eight were seriously injured in the struggle that followed. Those who survived the serimmage received 110 lashes each; but even this was not considered sufficient, and the rest of the convicts who had nothing whatever to do with the affair, received a hundred lashes each. Furthermore the thongs used were steeped in salt, and salt was rubbed into the open wounds.
 Finally, the convicts of cell No. and several others-4O of them altogether were tried by eourtmartial, and IS of them were sentenced to death and IS more to penal servitude for life.
 Since this occurred there has been no limit to the mad brutality of the govern or. The lighting of a cigarette has be- come an offense that only 50 lashes can punish ftly. The immediate result of all this has been an epidemic of suicide. Of the convicts who recently arrived at - and who found it impossible to bear this insane ferocity, six killed themselves. Then, as a means of dealing with this epidemic, it was decreed that the friends of suicides should receive the lash. Seven more have followed the example of these six, and these things still go on"

 The Spring Stars.
 The bright winter groups now fill the southwestern part of the heavens; due south is the beautiful Leo, the Fortu- mate constellation of the early astrolo- gers, while in the east the faint summer groups of the Virgin, the Serpent and the Balances are beginning to appear. Above the Virgin is seen the enormous Driver, with upstretched arms, and be- low this the delicate little ring of stars which form the Northern Crown, while in the south the very low Water Snake has entirely emerged from the ground and now stretches across almost the en- tire heavens from the east to the west The region of this last group marked A, in Fig. 1, was to the Chinese the Gate to Heaven; on the other hand to the Chaldeans the ill-omened Cancer was the Gate of Men, through which souls descended from heaven into human bodies.
 To all of these groups great import ance was assigned by the early astrolo- gers It was stated that when the sun in his eastward journey among the stars reached Cancer each thunderstorm would cause commotion and famine;
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-03-28

This month marks turning point in the position of two of the most interesting planets On April the beautiful Saturn. which for so many weeks has been shin ing low in the west, will pass behind the sun and enter the morning sky, while on April 2s the far more brilliant Venus will change from a morning to an evening star, and begin to climb upward in the western heavens. The swiftly moving Mercury which passed west of the sun two months ago will re-enter the evening sky on April 26, but 1t will not reach it's greatest distance from that body and so become easily viisble until May 19.
 The planet Venus will be lost in the suns rays during April and the greater part of May, but as the spring and sum- mer months go by it will each evening becoming more and more conspicuous until it is the most brilliant object in the heavens. All this year this planet will be our beautiful evening star; the magnifi- cent Jupiter will gradually sink toward the west as Venus rises, the two planets passing each other on August F. On this date their coniguraton will be so striking that it will attract the attention of the most casual observer. for these two bril- liant objects will there be seen in the southwestern sky so close together that they will seem almost to touch each other.
 Meanwhile, until Venus has drawn away from the sun, our one most brilliant evening star is the great planet Jupiter.
