MITIGATION OF THE KOREAN AND JAPAN
 RACES IS IMPOSSIBLE

SEOUL, Korea, May 29.-Unifica- tion of the Japanese and Korean races is impossible, asserts the or. ganizing committee of the indepen- dence movement in Korea in a state ment which it has issued setting forth the grievances of the Korean people against the Japanese
 The two chief reasons for Korea's s effort to obtain emancipation from Japanese rule are set forth by the committee as follows
 Korea is the much older of the two nations for it has history of organized government extending over a period of 4,300 years. During a part of that time Korea sent tribute to the court of China, but this was nothing more than an outward ex- pression of the relation between the Imperial families of the two na tions. Korea was ever the sole pos session of our Korean race and was never under the actual control of any. foreign nation or government.
 
 ly distinct race from the Korean She is an island people and heI nakedness of body and mind could only be covered by the civilization she received from Korea and from China during the centuries of the past. Her customs, her literature her very clothing came to her through Korea Of late years she has added to these the face-powder of a West ern civilization; thus she become! the whited sepulchre of the East She gives no evidence of moral force her actions toward our nation ha! proven her to be the embodiment O cruelty. The evidence is complet' that the unification of her Japanes' and Korean races is an impossibil ity."

 BODY OF REBEL CHIEF


 CUAUTLA, Mexico, May 29.-Leg ends already are beginning to spring up among the superstitious and ig norant Indians of this state regard ing Emiliano Zapata, the rebel chief who met death near here on April 10. In an attempt to preserve the bandits body as long as possible in order to give the greatest number of his former follower chance to see it, it was packed in ice, in the ab- sance of embalming fluids. The ice burst the sides and top of the flimsy coffin and gave rise to superstitious tales that the "Attila of the South, as Zapata was called, was not really dead, but had burst his coffin and escaped.

MUST TAKE TIME TO THINK
Scientist Explains Why Men Who Do
Great Things Have to Have
Abundant Leisure.

It was said by Helmholtz, on his
SEVENTEEN birthday, according to Dr.
Graham Lusk, in an address printed
in Science, that great idea had never
come to him when he was at his desk,
nor when he was tired, nor after TAX
ing n glass of wine, but usually when
he was walking in the garden musing
of other things. DR.. Lusk goes on:
'"The scientist must have leisure to
think over the problems which offer
and he must have a certain discrimi-
nation in order to distinguish between
the things which are worth doing and
those which are not. To do this re-
quires a certain delay in action In
order that plans may be matured. The
individual who can not be happy un-
less he is at work ut full power all
the time is much less likely to ac-
complish successful scientific work
than he who will not commence
research until he has satisfied himself
that 1t is worth doing. 1t Is not to be

HIGH HoNoRs PAID JUDGES
Imposing Ceremonies That Used to
Mark Their Coming to the varl
Gus County Assizes.

The stately ceremonies which have
attended the coming Of an English
judge to the county assizes, three
times In each year, may be accounted
for by the fact that the judge, on
these occasions, represented the king,
and for the time being was accorded
courtesies not very different from
those which would be offered the king
himself.
In the quaint old city Of Chester,
which all travelling Americans know
better, perhaps. than any city Of Eng
land outside of London, 1t was the
custom, before railroads were known,
for the high sheriff Of the county to
meet the incoming Judge with body
Of men. armed with javelins, at the
border of the county which he was
leaving, in order to conduct him in
safety to the place in which he was
to reside during the term of the
Cheshire court. This came to be a
very imposing ceremony. On one oc-
casion. 60 years ago, the office of high
sheriff was filled by baronet. who
awaited the Judge at the county bor-
ders with 1S javelin men. 40 servants,
100 tenants, his entire family (filling
stately carriages), trumpeters In two
detachments, two prominent editors In
their carriages, and several of the
county gentry.-Helen Marshall Pratt

GULL HAD GOOD APPETITE
Veracious Observer Asserts Bird Swal-
lowed Fifteen smeIt Within Space
of One Hour.

Sea gulls never visit the Cowlitz
and Lewis rivers except when the
smelt are running. Local fishermen
know when the fish are at hand by
seeing the big white birds In the air
wheeling and diving and uttering
their plaintive cry. They sound like
complaining children with rather
weak lungs. When the gulls are tired
of flying they settle on piles along
the shore or on sand banks which
they whiten like fall of snow.
When the sharp eye of gull sees
a smelt he plunges for 1t, submerges
his bill and head, and brings it up
squirming. The bird swallows his
prey in full flight, seldom or never
perching to dispose of it.
A most observant young man relates
that friend of his at Kelso on the
Cowlitz, selected gull which he could
identify and watched 1t for an hour to
coant the smelt 1t caught and swal-
lowed. The number was surprisingly
large-fifteen.
Perhaps this gull was more expert
or luckier than ordinary. 1t must
have been an exceptional bird in color
at least or the Kelso naturalist could
not have told it from the rest of the
flock. Perhaps 1t was exceptional in
other ways. And perhaps It had a
double sonality.-Portland (Ore.)

DUE TO DIGESTIVE TROUBLE

narcOlepsy of whatever kind that the

tim never collapses, for he always
has time to assume posture suitable
for sleep. He may even announce
that he must doze for few minutes,
after which he will awake refreshed.
He may be kept awake or readily
awakened. Hence there should be no
likelihood Of mistaking narcoleptics
for epileptics of any kind. The diges-

Obituary of a JellXfish.

One jellyfish at least became worll
famous, and when she died, after liv-
ing for sixty7seven years in the most
intellectual society, under the protec-
ton of five successive learned gentle
men, she received the honors OF an
obituary notice in the Scotsman.
"Granny" belonged to the jellyfish
family, but was, strictly speaking, n
sea anemone whom Sir John Graham
Dalyell picked off the rocks and kept
in sea water all the years of his life.
Sir John fed his protege regularly witt,
one-half mussel fortnight, and she
bore a large family.
The Scotsman "In Memoriam" no.
tice stated that 600 of Granny's Off
spring were known. When Sir John
died his anemone was passed on to
an arctic explorer, and at his death
she was bequeathed to another scien-
tific man. Granny throve and bred lit
tie ones; she outlived four protectors,
and died finally because Of the neglect
or ill-treatment of a botanist.

D. S. Medal Given to Only
One Woman in Awards Made
to United States Soldiers

Only 500 Distinguished Service med
ais were awarded to American soldiers
and of these just one was presented
to n woman.
Miss Mary Vail Address, an Amer
lean Red Cross canteen worker in
France, was the woman chosen for the
distinguished honor.
The medal was presented to Miss
Address by General Pershing in the
name of the president of the United
States.
Miss Address, New York woman,
was one of the first seven American
girls to go overseas. She went to the
Toul sector as the American troops
entered it, and on her own initiative
set up n canteen tent in the station
yard and gave small comforts to the
soldiers arriving or on leave. Within
n month she assisted 5000 doughboys
n day, and it Is estimated that during
her entire service her canteen well
coined more than 100000 soldiers.
After the tents success she opened
rest house for officers and men, and
finally was put in charge of an entire
hotel. Under her direction were in
stalled shower baths where thousands
of men enjoyed their first chance for
n bath after weeks in the trenches.
Miss Address is planning to continue
her social and public service in some

Substitute for Platinum
Is Invented by Illinois
Professor Of Chemistry

llllum is the name of the new metal
alloy, n substitute for platinum, that
has been discovered by Prof. S. w.
Parr of the department of chemistry
at the University of Illinois.
According to Professor Parr the i'm
portance of this new metal lies in the
fact that 1t can be substituted for plati-
mum or gold In acid tests. Its price is
another factor. Illium costs approx
mately % cents an ounce.
Other alloys have been found too
brittle. They can be cast, but not
mnchined like illium. Every rod OF
lllium which is made has button cut
from the end. which is given 24-hour
acid test. These buttons are weighed
before and after the test and as yet
the difference In weight has not been
appreciable.
The first mixture of this alloy was
made in April, 1917.
