SIAM AND HEa FUTURE.

Little Hope That the Native Race Can

ence, the Siamese are a tropical Deo-
pie. while the japanese are not, and
here we are at the root of the matter.
This judgment does not hold u much
hope for the self-reformation Of Siam,
and that country has an additional ad-
vantage. She stands now between
three great empires, two Of watch

on her account, while China Is daily
pouring her surplus population across

opinion that before many years the
Chinese are likely 70 be the dominat-

do-China. However that may be Il IS
evident that France has made up her
mind to be the ruling factor In Siam
or II not, that no other power shall
occupy that position. The question
Is: Can we delay the absorption Of

Anna was recovering her balance he
leaped upon her, sank his teeth into

Influences of Good

that for the endowment Of colleges,

A Fascinating Tale.

Father Pablo MARITIME. parish priest
Of Yesca, Mexico, reports that a party
of Americans. headed by an archae-
ologic expert. who gave the name Of
Heverlck. went into the mountains ac-
companied by three Mexican guides
and, by means OF a chart which he
claimed to have copied from an Aztec
stone tablet in the national museum
in the City Of Mexico. located a vast
cavern in a mountain near Yesca. Inn
mense stone images stood about this
chamber. In one end was a handsome
altar, above which burned a bright
flame, supplied by natural gas from a
crevice in the wall. In a chamber ad-
joining this main temple was found
a great store of ornaments and uten-
sils belonging to the Aztecs or some
other prehistoric race. Twelve burros
were required to transport the articles
from the cave to San Bias, where they
were shipped to San Francisco, accom-
panied by the Americans.
