she has fbeen advanced before in two
centuries. The king comes to this coun-
try on his yacht. the Maha Chakrkri
She is a vessel described partly as a
yacht and partly as cruiser; she was
built in England in 1902.
There lately has been a rumor that
the king would not, after all, come to
this country, but would return to Siam
Immediately after the queens jubilee.
The king first announced his intention
of coming to America in 1850, but was
prevented by affairs of state. When
Gen. Grant was on his tour around the
world he was entertained so pleas
autly by the Siamese sovereign that he
ever afterward cherished the most live
" regard for that monarch.
In 1888 when it was settled that the
king would not visit the United States
for some time to come, Gen. Grant
wrote to him a letter in which he said:
"A year or two ago we were led to be-
lieve that the United States was to be
honored by visit from you. hope the
visit is only postponed, not abandoned.
You would receive the most hearty
welcome from both government and
the people. and my family retain the
most lively recollection of our visit to
Siam and of your kind hospitality and
would much enjoy a second visit, but

at my time Of life can hardly expect
ever again to take so long journey"
\ letter from the kings private secre-
tary was recently received by Col. David
b. Sickels, in which the king said that
if he did not get here this trip he would
at some future time.
Oddly enough, the king is said TO be
especially interested in the Lotus club.
In the letter from the secretary it is
stated that his majesty has heard much
of the club from various Americans,
and intends to pay it visit.
Chulalongkorn's great grandfather
was the first of the present dynasty on
the Siamese throne. Chalalongkorn's 8
father ineugurated the system of NOM
mating the eldest son of the monarch
as the successor TO the throne-a sys-
TEN which Chulalongkorn has contin-
ued and which has done much TO in
crease the stability of the government.
Before the time of the present kings
father, the custom was for the monarch
to nominate as his successor any mem
ber of the royal family that he pleased.
When attired in everyday dress the
king of Siam wears European clothing.
He carries a walking-stick and wears
a derby hat with a high crown. His
shoes come from London and the furni-

immemorial." As the tycoon was the
real ruler in Japan, the mikado being
kept for show purposes only, so the
second king Of Siam was running things
in that country.
As soon as young Chulalongkorn felt
the crown firmly on his head he forced
an issue with the second king. There
was little war, which resulted in the
second kings taking refuge in the
British consulate at Bangkok and be-
ing good on a reasonable pension for
the rest of his life Chulalongkorn be-
lieves in keeping the government of his
country in the hands of his own fam
lily.
Nearly all the ministers of his cabi-
net are his brothers. Having a lot of
them, he finds it easy to fill up the
offices without going outside the family
circle. The king is a great believer in
the civilizing influences of the steam
ship and the railway. In his capital of
Bangkok he has street cars running,
and several lines of steam railways have
been built through the country by the
IuNOI VI Ills ldSiOuo IiAHJSS'f
The king, by the way, in speaking OF
or writing about the United States, al
ways calls it the most favored coun-
try" He is anxious to see all that is
new, and believes that in this country
he can get at the acme of western prog
ress and civilization.
When the king arrives in this coun-
try, whether he comes here now or
later, he viii be the guest of the gov
ernment, and an officer of the gov
ment win be detailed to escort him
about and see that he spends no money.
One of the remarkable things about
the city Of Bangkok is the kings sub
aqueous summer palace, 1t is a great
diviug-bell, composed largely of glass,
and when the days and nights are hot
the machine is lowered into the waters
of the sluggish Menam river, and the
king takes his ease below the surface
of the water. Air is supplied from the
surface, but is artificially cooled before
it gets to the royal presence.

An Ever Active Glow Issues from a
Receut dit cS Uranium.
In a recent lecture before the Royal
society Lord Kelvin vindicated the corr
rectness of Noltas early theories in
relation to contact electricity. He
showed that when n zinc plate and a
copper plate are brought into contact
with one another and then separated
one was charged with positive electrici-
ty and the other with negative. He
further demonstrated that this was not
due to oxidation by air or the moisture
OF the atmosphere, as is stated in the
textbooks of the day. Lord Kelvin
exhibited other experiments illustrat-
ing eIectritication produced by means
of dissimilar metals, and showed some
curious properties possessed by urani-
I'm. If plate of this metal was con-
nccted with an electrometer and
touched by plate of aluminium posi-
tive electritication was produced, grad
ually changing past zero to negative.
He also demonstrated that the rays
given off by uranium in dark room
are constant property of the SUBJ
stance and not a slow radiation of
previously absorbed light, as has been
claimed, bat he could offer no solution
of the mysterious action of this metal.

risian and British manufacture.
The king is fond of bloomers, and so
is his wife, the First Queen" The
first queens costume is a curious mix
ture of civilization and barbarism. as
she is herself. She wears waist with
big puff sleeves, made for her by a
Paris dressmaker, and below this she
wears the bloomers peculiar to the
women of Siam. She is said to be the
faithful counselor of the king for all
advancement. Although she never has
left Siam. she has the greatest appre-
citation of the benefits of western edu-
cation, and it was by her advice that
the royal princes were sent to England
to be educated.
The picture of the queen herewith
given was taken as she and the king
were standing on the pier at Bangkok
when the princes sailed away. Just as
the camera man touched the button the
queen turned her back, so that the peo-
pie should not see the emotion she felt
at parting with the boys.
Besides the first and second queens,
the king has about 500 handInaidens
in his harem. The kings father had
so children. The king is now 45 years
old. He was crowned in 1868, but the
government was in the hands of a
regency until 1873, when the king was
declared of age and again crowned.
When Chulalongkorn came to the
throne he found himself in about the
same condition as did the emperor of
Japan when he succeeded to his throne

INDIAN RAIN-MAKERs.
Crafty Red Men Who Adapt Their
Efforts TO the weather.


Efforts to the weather.
All the Indian tribes had rain-male-
ers. and some are yet left. This is one
of their methods of operation. explains
the New York Tribune. a large body
of Grow Indians had gathered. all
decked out in their best flnery. Two
elderly men retired short distance
and seemed to be mumbing to each
other something like prayers or invoca-
tions: after some time fire was made
OH the bank of the stream. when the
two rain-makers gave an order and a
young man plunged into the river,
which was there very deep. When he
came up. he had a blue catfish in his
hand. which one of the old men took
and threw into the fire, the tribe look
ing on in perfect silence. Then there
was more mumbling, accompanied by
various contortions and gesticulations.
when the gathering dispersed. TRAINED
that night. Perhaps. on the whole. the
Indian rain-maker is more generally
successful than the civilized one occa-
sionally appearing on the frontier in
times of drought. the former having q
shrewder and more experienced fore
cast of weather probabilities and put
ting in his incantations at the right
time

copyright, 1871

tCopyright, lSyfJ
The king of Siam will be the third
reigning monarch who has visited this
republic. Ex-kings have been here in
profusion, and heirs apparent to con-
siderable extent, but only two actual
wearers of crowns have been here be-
fore Chulalongkorn, his two predeces-
sors being the emperor of Brazil and
the king of the Hawaiian islands.
King Chulalongkorn rules over 6,000.-
coo people. He has done for Siam what
the mikado has done for Japan. He has
introduced American and European civ
ilization, and in the 30 years of his
reign has advanced Siam more than
