The Siamese Kings Country Home.

The country palace of the king Of
Siam is called Bang-pa-in. About
forty miles north of Bangkok, on the
Meinam, are two islands, separated by
a narrow channel not $50 feet wide.
On the smaller of these is a Buddhist
temple and college, and on the other
is the country residence of the king
of Siam, which consists of three build
ings-the official, the private and the
Chinese palaces. Each is separated
from the other by canals, with which
the island is intersected, and which,
in places, are enlarged into small arti-
fetal lakes. Sluice gates are provided
between the canal and river, which
serve to maintain the level of the
water i'll the former, and also for
flushing; for, although some seventy
two miles from the sea, the tide rises
and falls between three and four feet.
Through these pass the boats contain
ing the ladies of the household, who,
to escape public notice, are landed q
few feet from their apartments.
The Ko-pra, OIL landing stage, is a
wooden gangway, hinged at both ends,
and resting On a pontoon anchored in
water deep enough to allow large
launches to moor alongside. At the
top of the bank is a band stand, close
against a portico of classical design,
which forms the entrance to the Off
cial palace, and looks down a narrow
strip of walks and lawn, shaded by
mango and tamarind trees. On the
occasion of a grand fete, this was the
site of an enormous device that was
used for an electric light illumination.
