It appears that Mr. Magamori, formerly the head of the Ministers' Chamber of the Japanese Finance Department, recently framed a scheme
to obtain a lease of waste land in Korea to be coltivated by a syndicate under certain con- ditions In pursuance of this scheme the Japanese demanded a charter from the Korean
Government, and this has aroused much re- sentment among the Koreans.
ORIGIN OF THE WORD MOSQUITO.
A Home exchange gives the following ver-
sion of the origin of the word " Mosquito," and though it may be a plausible one, we are afraid that it will not quite fit in with the knowledge gained of late years by the medicos who have been making this "amoosin' little cuss" their special study. There is a legend in the Southern States-where "skeeters are specially veno- mous-that the mosquito got his name from the cries of anguish which these insects pro-
duced from their victims. The nigger version is as follows:-"De white man he come, he settle down to grow de corn and cotion: den come de leetle fly-cry golly! how he do bite Whoop! Whoop White man slap him face The Asut publishes a Seoul telegram, stat-

THE MIDDLE CLASSES.
A PUZZLE OF CASTE.
Mr. G. S. Street writes, in The Academy, of the extraordinary complexity of the caste system in Great Britain. He wishes that some philosopher with a strictly scientific habit of mind would set himself to a thorough classifica- tion, with tables and diagrams, of our classes,
The reply of the Korean Government is to the effect that whereas the Korean Minister for Foreign Affairs repeatedly replied that a charter to cultivate forest land, the wild fields and waste land could not be granted to for eigners, as the Korean Government itself in- tended to undertake such work, the Japanese Minister still continued to press his demand. The relations between Japan and Korea are such that they should assist each other in all matters, and the Governments of the two coun tries, therefore, were bound to assist each

And cions arising in other countries. This was the principle to be followed by both countries, and it was showing a disregard of Japan's profes sions of friendship for the Japanese Minister lo press his demands for charter for the work, which the Korean Government intended 10

cluded, for the Korean Government to grant such a charter to foreigners, however strong the demands may be.
TUBERCULOSIS.
When Dr. Koch, the discoverer of the tubercle bacillus, propounded the theory that bovine tuberculosis was not communicable to human beings, the doctors were amazed and farmers gave a great sigh of relief. The dis- covery of the bacilius had set the pathologists upon a course of advocacy under which beef milk, butter and cheese were condemned as

value only in the small radius about them, "for it is a curious fact, which they who talk of classes and masses quite forgot, that the lower you go in the social scale the keener are the differences."
