Credit for this departure is due chiefly
to Sir A. Rollit, the chairman Of the

A PROGRESSIVE RULER.
Transformations wrought by King chu-
laIong-Korn of Siam.

His majesty, King Chulalong-Korn
Of Siam, has OF late proven himself the
most progressive ruler in the history
OF the strange little kingdom. Siam is
diyesting itself of its ancient dress, ana
the changes are noticeable in all parts
OF the realm and in all grades of Sc
ciety. The king has caused magic
transformation In his army. The wild
looking guerrillas are now dressed in a
peculiar military mixture. The mill
tary suit is strikingly English, while
the helmet is German, and the arms
are French Perhaps the wise king
manages In this way TO keep on good
terms with the powers OF Europe. An
other remarkable change is being eff
fected in passenger and freight trans
portation. The trains Of oxen teams
seen In former days in every part OF
the country have given way to steam
and electric railways, most of which
have been built by enterprising Ameri-
| cans. In fact, IL may be said that much
OF The change in the culture of Siam is
\ due to Americans. The better class Of
Siamese are being gradually liberated
from the power of the priesthood,
which for centuries has enslaved the
people with superstitious faith in the
most hideous idolatry. Christianity
mostly in Protestant form, is gradually
being adopted by the people of Bang
kok and other large cities. Since the
opening Of the many ports to the com
merce of the nation by the enlightened
ruler both exports and imports have
received great impetus. Bangkok to
day enjoys comparatively greatej
trade with foreign nations than an!
other city in the orient,-Chicago Jour
