- nounced periodically that the
n king of Siam was about TO visit
America. The last ntimation
of this sort that seemed TO he a GER
tainty was just previous to the opening
of the st. Louis fair, but the long looked
for Asiatic potentate did not make his
appearance. This season there has been
IA vigorous revival of the matter, and
the report that his Siarnese majesty was
about 10 visit the western world has been
made exceedingly plausible by the fact
that he has actually reached Europe,
where he is now making a round Of
royal visits.
That this picturesque and decidedly
progressive oriental has long had de
sire to set foot on the western CONT
nent and has been on the point several
times of yielding to it Is undoubtedly
the truth. American residents in Siam
have confirmed the statement and have
been convinced that it was only ques-
ton of time and opportunity, Before
leaving Bangkok on his present tour
the king assured his two American adj
visers-Edward Henry Strobel, formerly
Remis professor of international law at
Harvard, and Professor j. l.. Western
gard OF the same university-that he
should cross The Atlantic il he could
manage It in any possible way He has
arranged 10 complete his outing in
seven months from the day of leaving
Siam and ms the matter now stands it
seems proba Bile that II Europe should
not prove too alluring his majesty may
return by the western route.

LIGHTHOUSES TO LIVE IN.
Converted Into Seaside Villas Alonu
English Coast.

BY a curious coincidence no fewer
thanSthree lighthouses have come ON
the market almost simultaneously as
desirable villa residences" Two of
these are at Portland Bill. and the
other is at the South Foreland, Dover.
The one at Dover has already begun its
career as a dwelling house. Our Dover
correspondent telegraphs:
quite n pleasant bijou residence has
been made of the abandoned Lower
Lighthouse at the South Foreland.
The principal difficulty was the Ques-
tion of utilizing the lantern room. for
| was informed today that Trinity
Houses stipulated that the tenant
should never have a light in the Ian
tern house unless thick green curtain
is placed over all the glass. The object
of course is To prevent any mistake in
lights by shipping.
THE lantern room has been fitted up
as study and library. The rooms be-
low, which were used by the chief
lighthouse man, are not high pitched.
but with the alterations that have been
made the proprietor of the lighthouse
has pleasant residence Of the bunga-
low order"
In the other case, by the erection
of the splendid new lighthouse on
Portland Bill the Corporation of Trini-
ty House has found itself with two
lighthouses, locally Known as the
Higher and Lower Lighthouses, on its
hands. A Weymouth firm of auctioneers
has now received instructions TO offer
the two buildings for sale by auction
early in February. Both stand in small
compounds, enclosed by substantial
stone walls, and there are two keepers
houses attached TO each, with long pas
sages communicating with the tower.
According to the auctioneers, they are
most substantially erected, and capa-
BILE, with small outlay, of being con
verted into bungalow residences, the
situation being exceptionally charming
and the healthiest along the seacoast."
These two lighthouses were built in
1869. and the High Light replaced an
edifice which was built by Trinity
House in l7S9.-London Daily Mail.
