THE CLEVER KOREANS.
Ingenuity Takss the Place Of FUsl II
Heating Their Homes.


Heating Their Homss.
Our fuel resources are still so
ample that We find it hard to con
ceive Of a country so poorly sup
piled with fuel as Korea Is. Ac-
c0rding to an article in the Journal
Of School Geography, the land bears
very little timber, and, although
good deposits Of bituminous and
anthracite coal have been found.
the government, before the Japa-
nese occupation at least, would give
no concessions for mining. The
natives dig the surface coal ont in
crude way and let the debris and
rain fill up the shafts. Accordingly.
the coal, when they finally get it,
is usually well rotted from damp
ness. This poor stuff is sold for IS
much as 50 a ton-a price that
makes it inaccessible for the ma
jority Of the natives.
Korean ingenuity, however, has
found a means Of combating these
unfayorable conditions. When a
Korean starts to build his house be
first lays down a system Of fines
where the floor Is to be. These
iues begin at a fireplace, usually
built in an outer shed or in closed
alleyway connected with the house.
From the fireplace the Hnes
branch out like the ribs Of a fan
and end in a trench at the back OF
the floor space. This trench In
turn opens into q chimney, usually
built at some distance from the
house. When the dues are com
pleted the builder carefully covers
them over with flagstones. He then
the whole floor and covers
It with sort Of thick oiled paper.
for which Korea is famous. The
rest Of the house is then built round
The completed floor.
The heating system works in this
Eay: When it is time to cook the
ice for the morning meal the
housewife lights a little straw or
in the fireplace in the
,uter shed. While the rice is cook
ng the heat from the fireplace
'asses through the Hues, heating

using a pleasant warmth that lasts
Intil it is time to prepare the next
neal Two heatings a day general
J suffice to keep the floor warm.
On the floor the people sit by daF
nd sleep By night. The heavy oil
d paper that covers the floor pre-
ents any smoke from entering the
DOM. Since the occupants slways
ave their shoes al the door, the
aper wears a long time and gradn-
ny takes on = rich brown color. So
ere the Koreans sit through the
svere winter in their snug little
ouses. There is no smoke to both
T them and no ashes to litter up
he house, and all tins comfort IS
roughf about by a few handfuls Of
raw or brushwood.

London, Sept 1.-THE major opera.

to furnish the chief developments OF

The Italian air service seems TO
have effected notable damage upon
the Austrian naval base at Pola. Rome
reports the dropping OF nine tons OF
bombs by thirty Italian airplanes on
Pola. causing heavy damage and large

Press dispatches from the Austro.
Italian front reports the Italians con

operation for Triest, pushing their
lines ahead in the Brestovizza valley,
in the district south of Gorilla and
working further forward eastward
over the great Bainsizza plateau.
The fall of Monte San Gabrielle, the
chief remaining vantage point of the
Austrians, aside from their Carso
etrongholds, 10 considered only a mat
ter OF time.
There has been no renewal Of the
Flanders fighting on a large scale as
yet, although the intensity Of the ar
tillery fire suggests that this is i'm
pending. The British, however, are

On the Navajo reservation great ef-

mans system Of burial.
The agents success was encouraging
and arrangements were made by which
the government should supply neat
headstones. A stock Of them was laid
in, and soon after they arrived a tall
Navajo appeared. He had lost his
squaw and wished headstone. He
looked the collection over, but said
mo. nor to each one.

I will try to get one," said the agent.

said the Navajo.
The agent made every effort to find
out what was meant, but the redmnn
would only respond, "United States
tombstone"
At last the agent, fearing that the
mans disappointment might result un
favorably to the scheme for introduc
ing white mems burial methods, gave
the Indian some money and told him Il
go and buy the kind Of gravestone he
liked.
Sometime afterward party Of hunt
ers came into the agency. They hut

Germany Planning
Drive to Recover
Losses in Alsace
[Staf Correspondence

LONDON, Nov. 29.-In the last few
days there have been signs that the
Germans are preparing another mill
tary move of considerable magnitude
and many French expect 1T to be
launched in Alsace to recover the only
important territory OF Germany or
Austria now occupied by the Allies.
Whether Germany will make new
peace offer before or after the launch.
ing of the fresh drive is matter OF
opinion, with good arguments on both
sides.
Nevertheless. the success IN Italy
the impotence of Russia and the com
rarative stalemate in the west have
strengthened the hand of the Pam
Germans, and they are now announcing
silly demands on their enemies. such
as a fifty billion dollar indemnity,
military. political and economic con-
trail of Belgium, the permanent occu-
patton OF Dunkirk, Boulogne and
Calais. and control OF the Suez Canal.
If the offer comes before the attack
and is refused by the Allies. then the,
government can make the usual appeal
10 the people on the ground OF hghting;
a defensive war. On the other hand
the government is bound to ALLEVIATE
the Junkers if it makes moderate
offer now when the military situation
is favorable.
