Japan. on the other hand, was
never invaded in her history; her
blood was never intermingled and her
stock was allowed to remain pure. Her
national character was developed with

causing authority to be respected and
discipline to be developed.
In 1910, Japan annexed Korea.
Prior to that time. as many deaths as
800 a day had occurred in the city OF
Seoul alone; shortly afterwards not as
many people died from the plague in
the whole kingdom in one year. Japan
forcibly vaccinated 100000 people in
one year. One hundred and sixty-eight
courts were established, giving author
ity to 1900 gendarmes. Hundreds of
miles of roads are being built. Afror-
estation on an extensive scale is being
carried on. To encourage the silk
worm industry 100000 mulberry
tree seedlings were set out in one
year. State and private banks were
established. The postal savings eys-
TEN was installed and one in every six
families has savings account. The
people, at first suspicious, have learned
that they will get their money back
whenever they ask for it. In the first
year after the Japanese occupancy, the
rice crop was doubled, and the wheat
and barley crops grew from 100000
to 36,0OO,000 bushels. The japanese
have built a model village in every
province and are encouraging people !

MAN COULD FLY A PIANO BOX
Practically Everything Depends on the
Engine, Declares Lincoln
Beaehey.

New YoTk.-Any properly built bi-
plane which has light, powerful en-
gine is stable when in the air. provid-
ing It is intelligently handled. The
chief reason ! have been able to ac-
complish feats which other airmen
never have attempted is the fact that
| have had good machine and have
known how to fly it, Lincoln Beachey
writes in Popular Mechanics.
Give me a clearance of 500 feet
from the ground, a place to land, and
then let things happen. If the aero
plane upsets or slides, or the engine
dies, and the airman is not asleep,
it may be righted with comparative
ease.
The master Of a good biplane should
feel as completely at home in the air
as any bird that ever flew. In my re-
cent flights it has been demonstrated
that a man-made machine is capable
Of things which no bird ever attempt
ed. How many persons ever saw a
bird try to loop the loop, do a back
ward spiral or revolve like a top and
sail earthward tail down?
1t is true that my latest craft was
built for the specific purpose to
which it is being put. But for general
flying a good biplane of the same fun
damental type should be equal in sta
bility. 1t is only touching the extreme
to assert that with an engine OF suffi-
cient power an airman could fly a
piano box. By that | wish to i'm
press the statement that the air

thing he needs with which to fight the

Plan Novel Punishment.

Sydney, N. S. W.-Criminologists In
Australia are greatly interested in the
experiment of Judge Eagleson Of the
Melbourne county court in prescribing
a novel form Of punishment for men
whose offenses are due to drink. A
young man who pleaded guilty to en-
bezzlement was allowed his freedom
on condition that he should make good
within two months the amount stolen
and should abstain from drinking in
toxicants and gambling during the
rest of his natural life" The slightest
infraction would render him liable to a
ten months sentence. A laborer,
found guilty Of assault, was released
under similar conditions.

Economical instruments from the
twelfth TO the fifteenth centuries and
employing explosive bombs long be-

points out that the famous Japanese
Satsuma pottery was made originally
by Korean workmen, who were import

These facts are cited by Mr. Ken
nan to show the terrific downfall ex-
perienced by Korea. He traces her
course from her pinnacle of civiliza-
ton to the depths of degeneracy and
expresses great hopes for her future,
under the guidance of Japan.
While Korea was sinking, Japan
was rising, until the island kingdom,
all by her own efforts, became such a
world power as to defeat great Euro
