| dom that can be called cher majesty"
| The eldest son of this woman shall be
crown prince, according to Chulalong-
korns decree. His present queen Is his
second wife. and the present crown
prince is the eldest son of the present
queen.
Chulalongkorn assembled the throne In
1873, but not until about ten years later
at the death of the regent during the
king minority, did he have an altogeth'
er free hand in government. He has adj
vanced agriculture, increased the ex-
ports from his country, granted char
ters to companies that have laid steam
and electric railways, built State rail
road, cut canals, improved the roads in
all parts of his domain, and caused JUS
tice to be impartially and speedily adj
ministered.
The favorite palace of the king stands
on an island In the river Menam. He
has several other palaces, all of great
magniticence, but the greatest of all is
the royal palace in Bangkok, the capt
tai. Part of the court yard of the tenn
pie within the grounds of this palace is
shown in accompanying picture. On
the left are seen, in perspective, three
gateways opening into the space occu-
pied by the principal building, in which
is enshrined the so-called Emerald
Buddha of Siam. At each of the gate
ways stand two gigantic figures of the
mythical demons known to the Siamese
under the name of ''Yuck," and CORE
spending pretty closely to the djinn or
genii Of the arabian Nights" A few
small statues of gray marble, carved
by Siamese artists in imitation of Euro
pean sculpture, stand near, forming in
congruous features in an otherwise
typlcally Oriental scene. Behind. and
to the right. Is seen the prachadee, a
huge conical mass of brick and NOR
tar, covered with glass tiles gilded on
the inner surface and so maintaining
their brilliancy with no other aid than
an occasional washing This great pal
ace at Bangkok, or rather group of
structures, Is one of the sights of the
East. The buildings were put in hand
early In this century, and although one
Siamese sovereign after another added
to them, it was reserved for the pres
ent king to complete them.
Siam occupies a territory about the
size of Germany. That it's area has not
been cut down to half that size is no
fault of the sly statesmen of France
and England, who have been grabbing
the kings land on either side under the
pretense of protecting" him. These
two States were about to absorb all of
Siam except small parcel of land not
much more than enough for royal
garden when Chulalongkorn showed
them that he could be diplomat as
well as a patriot. He played" one pow
er against the other, and thus stopped
further encroachments. There is now
no longer any danger that the land
grabbers will hurt him. In the navy Of
twenty-five powerful ships he has Gre
ated and in his reorganized army he has
furnished himself with a protection
that needs no increase from without.

ing of diamond shape, with the long
err points cut off, making it six-corner-
ed. The front or wind surface of the
kite Is formed of two triangles, and at
the sides are silk wings six inches
wide at the top and tapering to point.
The silk is stretched loosely over the
framework and fills with air when the
kite is flying.
Mr.. Conyne expects to construct a
large kite on the same principle and
will try to fly with it by jumping off
u high building or hill. His previous
experiments have been conducted in
the vicinity of Humboldt Park. But
he will doubtless look for a more ex-
tended field in order that his expert
ments may be more satisfactory.

cent. less than tho old system. The land on
which 1t was raised WAS virgin prairie two years

owner. Tho GAO acres cost Mr.. Hallett + ,+S0
two years ago. Had no put the whole In wheat.
and the average had eqnalled tho 100 acres
planted. the wheat for this one season would
have sold for $3s,920. As 1t WAS. he put In but
100 acres of wheat. 1t yielded him sixty bushels
to the acre and the wheat sold for 81, 900, Tho
wheat thus raised on one.siXth OF the farm paid
for the whole farm and left n balance IN the
bank OF 81 400. .
Some Interesting statistics have been gathered
by the State Board OF Agriculture at the fair.
1t 10 estimated that tho virgin soil being
turned this fall exceeds that OF any five previous
years In the State. OF course, this Is the result
OF the unprecedented crops OF cereals this year
and tho abundance OF money among tho farmers.
Ten thousand farmers have bought or rented
land In Nebraska since tho first Of the year.
The branch OF the employment agency operated
by tho state which was opened at the fair
grounds is being largely patronized. There is a
great demand developing for young married
couples to take charge Of stock and grain farms
In Nebraska. Good wages for this sort of work
can DO secured, a mar and wife receiving $40 u
