When, in 1912, that old monarchy
China was transformed into a repub-
lie, the title as well as the life Of
the little emperor was retained by the
royal prisoner. With the end of en-
pire, what was known as republican,
ism" took possession of the state and
trickled down into the little kingdom
of Siam, directly beneath. Now, in
Slams capital, Bangkok, there is one
Chinese to four Siamese, and to them
it seemed that what was good for big
China would adequately suffice for the
needs of little Siam. But the agita-
tors had counted upon neither the king
nor his 100000 lovers, and the re-
publican breeze died out over night.
Siam, possibly, is the isolated ex-
ample in history where, in time of
disturbance and strife, the people have
followed and not led. 1t has been a
land of leaders and not realm Of
revolutionists. The giants of the king
dom were not Of the street. but set

When Calm Seas Are Dangerous.

Sometimes. when to the landsman,
there seems no sign of an approach
ing storm, CLASSY sea is moved by
a gentle swell. But the sailor knows
that those quiet fluctuations are
warning of the deadliest danger. Up
on a perfectly calm day ships have
been caught by gentle roll of the
water and later dashed to pieces on
the rocks by the ground sea-" On
the Atlantic, waves rise forty feet
high. Driven before the gale they
travel 80 miles an hour, and soon pass
out of the storm area. These waves
roll on settling into long, rolling ridges
that travel in three parallel lines.
And the further they go the lower they
sink. AS the ground sea advances
1t creates false tide. And the waves
break in full force within an hour of
the warning swell. A wave caused by
a ground sea may be 20 feet high;
when you remember that it strikes
a boat with a force Of ton to the
square inch, you will understand the
necessity for pulling ashore while there
is time.
