Bankok has a population of between two
and three hundred thousand persons, both

cept the waistcloth; which is the only
clothing yoyp. The inhabitants live mostly
in floating houses and boats. There are ten
thousand Buddhist priests in the city, who
live on contributions of rice which they levy
upon the people There are about 100 pre-
cincts, called "Watt grounds" each con
tanning about ten acres, which are walled in
with massive granite walls, with gates guard
ed by figures of men ten feet high carved
IN granite.
Each of these watt grounds contains splen-

Gated to Buddha, their deity. In one is an
image of Buddha in a reclining position, one
hundred and thrifty feet long, with other d-
mensious in proportion. The figure rests
on its right side, and the whole is covered
with gold leaf while the feet are inlaid with
mother Of pearl, representing gods, idols,
and scenes Sf church history. Besides this
there are some two hundred images of Bud
dha sitting against the walls of the temple,
each about five feet high, and all covered
with gold leaf They have barbarous Gus
tom Of burning the dead, previous to which
ceremony the body is embalmcd for several
months.
