AN INCREASED WATER SUPPLY.

The supply of water in the Croton Valley contin-
to increase. telegram received at the Depart
ment of Public Works yesterday stated that the
water in the Croton Lake was only eight inches
below the ton of the dam and was slowly rising 1t
raining at that time. The large reservoirs
filling more slowly. 1t viii probably be "a month
more before they filed, under favorable cir
cumstances. The aquednct is now delivering its full
volume of 90, 600 600 gaonsd daily The question has
been asked why the present Croton dam cannot be
raised and thus retain the large amount of water
which now goes to waste over the dam. The reply
to this that the dam would have to be almost
tirely reconstructed and large additional amount
of land would have to be acquired by purchase, in
consequence of the increased area which would be
overlooked by the backing of the water above the
dam. The present Croton Lake is between five and
six miles in length and has average width of
], 100 feet

SIAM AND THE SIAMEsE.
Lecture ut the First Presbyterian
Church Last Night.

Rev. Eugene +, Dunlap, missionary OF
the Presbyterian Church, who spent several
years In Siam, and was compelled by i'll
health 10 return to this country, lectured last
night IN the Fist Presbyterian Church on
the customs Of the country Siam Is directly
on the opposite side Of the globe, the difference
OF time from Pittsburgh being twelve hours
The government Is dual monarchy, the first
king being an absolute monarch. The sec.
ond, whose name Is George Washington, has
no power and but small portion OF the rev.
enne and . few retainers. The people are
great CANDLES. The taxes are high, ten to
thirty.three per cent being the usual rates.
Sixty.tive degrees Is the lowest temperature
known, rain falling for several days without
Ceasing There are no springs or wells the
rain being preserved in iars for using in the
dry season.
0ne.third OF the inhabitants OF hancock,
the capital, are Chinese. There is but one
street, but canals lead to all parts OF the city
and country.
The houses on the river are tied to piles,
and float on the water. On land the houses
are built Of bamboo, high above the ground,
to escape the heavy rains and troublesome
insects
The stove and cooking utensils necessary to
equip kitchen cost eight cents, and are
made OF clay. burned hard. All their dishes
age made OF the same material.
Rice is the chief article OF food. Lizards
twelve inches in length frequent the houses
and cover the walls. The language Is mono.
syllable, and like all languages OF that class,
not expressive, and difficult TO acquire, the
vowel sounds changing the meaning Of
words.
The literature OF the country, sacred wri.
tings and works on law and medicine, are
craven with stylus on palm leaf A coarse
paper, made In China, and written on with
soapstone pencil Is used for Court records
Printing has recently been introduced by the
missionaries.
A native girl Of Siam accompanies Mrs.
Dunlap, and, dressed in the costume Of the
country, sang several hymns in the nativa
language.
The native word which means physicians
Is compound word, translated: "a man
who kills people to-day to prevent them from
dying Tomorrow" Small pox and fever
prevail. The dead are cremated, while festi.
walls and games amuse the people.
The manners Of the people were illustrated
by many anecdotes, while the details Of
courtShip and marriage afforded the audience
much amusement
The religion, Buddhism, affords the women
no relief from the oppression and cruelty Of
the men. 1t Is full Of superStitionS OF the
causes OF the ordinary processes Of nature
tides winds, light, eclipSeS, etc.
All these and many other interesting and
little understood facts were told in q simple
and graphic manner which made the lecture
very interesting and instructive.
