For this reas n he is most lavish, almost reckless, in spending money for religious services which he causes to be con-

ducted, from time to time, for the repose of her late Majesty's soul. This regard for his-de- ceased consort is to be attributed on the other hand, however, to His Majesty's deep-rooted. superstition, for the Korean monarch believes most firmly that the late Queen's spirit is daily and hourly hovering about the Imperial palace, It may thus be said that his regard for her has in it some element of fear and it is probably on account of this fear that His Majesty is still hesitating to instal Lady Om in the pace vacated by her fate Majesty. One would think, therefore, that if the Emperor should decide on enhancing Lady Om's status, it would be only after he had consulted a spirit mediva and had obtained through it the con- sent of the departed Queen to his marriage, The Emperor manifests his superstitious weak. ness in connection with almost everything, but he particularly does so when dealing with mat- ters relating to the 'late Queen.

As for the personality of the late Queen may be said that she was a woman of extra- ordinary sagacity as well as of manly firmness of mind. She belonged to the Min, the most plutocratic family of Korea and as such there was more or less a tendency on the part of His Majesty to become a puppet in her hand. On the contrary Lady Om is a woman af humble origin and the Emperor will, therefore, be his own master. In consequence of this, it is ex- pected that should the lady in question become Queen there will be no danger of her being converted into a pettycoat politician as "the late Queen was with her faction about the

Court

It is reported that on a recent occasion, His Majesty expressed, to some of the cour officials, his desire to secure a few Western women for his harem: The Consul of a certain, Power on being informed of the Emperor's wish, though: this would be a splendid oppor tunity to further the interests of his country and he immediately endeavoured to please the Emperor.

SOME FACTS AND FIGURES THAT WILL AMAZE YOU.

Though it is possible to cross the Atlantic in six days, few of the many thousands of people who have done so, and probably none of the millions who have not, have any conception of the vast amount of provisions which have to be shipped for a single voyage.

This is not because Transatlantic travellers eat more than the wanderers in other direc- tions; but simply because our modern vessels are constructed on such gigantic acales.

The most voracious mouths on board are

undoubtedly the 112 furnaces in which the fuel of the sixteen boileri is consumed, at the rate 572 tons a day, the Deutschlands 5,000 tons coal bunkers being pretty nearly filled each Deutschland carries with her crew 1,617 souls.
