SIAM HAS NEW GOD
Great Bronze Buddha Built at
Kings Order.
Heather Idol Is Cast From Captured
Cannon and Erected in the Mao
nificent Royal Temple at
Bangkok.

Bangkok, Siam-Siam, the country
of the white elephants, was a short
time ago the scene of a very brilliant
event, one of the most interesting that
has taken place in the history of the
country King Chulalongkorn, the
late king of Siam, while touring in the
northern part of his kingdom at the
end OF last year visited the ancient
town of PitsaQuloke, which contained
within its walls an celebrated many
centuries-old figure of Buddha.
The king was so filled with enthus-
iasm by this statue that he made vow
to place similar figure in the royal
temple, wat Suan Dusit," In the CAPT
tai of his kingdom. He sent off some
Buddhist priests Immediately to Bang
kok, ordering them to bring back six
old bronze cannon captured during a
war with Burma to Pitsanuloke. In,
the meantime the king so pushed on
the work that by the time the cannon,
arrived the process of casting could,
be begun. Faithful Buddhists stream
ed from far and near and threw gold
and silver into the glowing mass
Young girls took off their costly Jew
els and offered them as a sacrifice;
Whole families would gladly have Civ

tity of the ancient statue should be
conveyed to the new two consecrated.
silver cords were fastened to the ears
OF the old statue and given into the.
charge Of the highest BONES, who.
watched day and night and sang and
offered prayers necessarily
During the casting the king himself
held the other end Of the cord, while
from him outpoured the cord in the
form OF the new-cast figure. At last,
amid the endless rejoicings of the peo-
pie, the casting was finished and the
statue, under the guidance of the
king, was conveyed in solemn process
sion down the river to Bangkok, where
the work Of art was to be completed.
1t is said that hundreds of chisels
were broken during the work. King
Chulalongkorn gilded the face himself
and placed in the forehead an enor-
nous precious stone. Then the whole
figure was gilded and adorned with
Buddhistic rosaries of fiery brilliants
from the kings treasury. At last the
great day came when the new Buddha
was to be brought to the royal temple,
wat Suan Dusit"
The scene under a glowing tropical
sun was so wonderful. so gorgeous in
color, that it will remain unforgettable
by all who witnessed it. The gor-
geous statue of Buddha, as If carried
by an invisible power, moved majes-
tically on the glittering waves of the
