Korea's Seven Wonders.

The seven wonders of Korea are: (1) The marvelous mineral spring of Klushanto, one dip in which is a sovereign cure for all the ills that human flesh is heir to. (2) The double springs which, though far apart, have a strange, mysterious affinity. According to Korean belief, there is a connection underground, through which water ebbs and flows like the waters of the ocean, in such a way that only one spring is full at a time- The water possesses a wonderful sweetening power, so that whatever is cooked therein becomes good and palatable. (3) The cold wind cavern, whence comes a never ceasing wind so piercing that nothing can withstand it and so powerful that the strongest man cannot face it. (4) The Indestructible pine forest, the trees of which grow up again as fast as they are cut down. (5) The floating stone, a massive block that has no visible support, but, like Mohammed's coffin, remains suspended. (G) The warm stone, situated on the top of a hill and said to have the peculiarity of spreading warmth and heat all around it (7) A drop of the sweat of Buddha, for thirty paces round which no flower or vegetation will grow, nor will birds or other living things pass over it »
