SLAMS KING VISITS TEMPLES
Ne opshds Two Weeks Each Year
WershIpIns at the Buddhist
ehrlnes Of Bangkok.

Each year when the rainy season IL
over, the king Of Slam spends about
two weeks making his customary
round Of visits to the different Bud
dhist temples Of Bangkok. On these
occasions the king goes in a boat,
manned by go rowers on each
side, each clad In a uniform Of
red, and using a long oar. The royal
seat is near the stern, raised on four
pillars, and surmounted by a highly
ornate, tower-like canopy. In front
and behind the royal seat stand at
tendants holding up large umbrellas
which look like golden cones.
} On landing at an appointed place,
the king rides in sedan-chalr to the
temple, when all along the way the
people PROSTATE themselves on the
ground, keeping silent as a mark of
supreme respect For about half an
hour the king occupies himself with
the ceremony Of worship in the temple,
into which the public is not admitted.
To the temples outside Bangkok the
king dispatches deputies, his personal
pilgrimage being confined to the tenn
pies Of the city.

hEoLEcTING THEIR LANGUAGE
Younger chIness Since the Revolution
chow . Preference for EnoIIsh
and French.

To Judge from the numerous arti-
cles that are being written on China,
Its literature is not reaping great bene-
Ats from the revolution. In the first
place, the Chinese language is be-
ing pushed more and more into the
background. The younger generation
NO longer receives the training it once
received In the Chinese Classics" and
hand In hand with this goes their
preference for foreign languages
English primarily, and then French,
with little German. It 10, OF course,
impossible for country to build up
q body Of national literature In q for
eign language. Intellectually, how
ever, China 10 making reassurlng prog
ress. Its three greatest political
writers, all Of whom have been active
now for nearly a quarter Of a century
-Tschang- Schi-tung, Kang-Yu-wsi, and
LANG Kitschao-are as active az ever
In their efforts to save the nation from
the fate Of India or Burma or Korea
or Egypt or Poland.

the traction company has set aside
several cars for the children to play
In. They are complete in every de-

off and they are anchored to the

Using cards, Mother Goose rhymes
and pictures are displayed along the

Of street names afford noisy proof Of
the popularity Of the play cars as the

SCIENCE IN INDUSTRIAL ERA
UtiIitarianism, II Seems, Must Ulti-
mately Kill tho Pure Desire for
knowledge.

Wireless is Of great practical i'm
portance. 1t facilitates slaughter in
war, the dissemination Of journalistic
falsehoOd in time OF peace, and the
broadcasting of trivialities to relieve
the tedium Of evening hours not de-
voted to success. But the men who
made 1t possible-Faraday, Maxwell
least Interested In furthering this re-
marksble enrichment Of human LIFE;
they were men solely interested In
trying to understand physical proc
esses, and 1t can hardly be said that
the existence of industrialism helped
them even indirectly. The modern
study Of the structure Of the atom
may have profound effect upon In
dustrial processes but those who are
engaged upon It are very little inter-
ested In this possible future effect of
their work. It seems likely that the
utilitar1anism Of commercial indus
try must ultimately kill the pure de-
sire for knowledge 3dsf as It kills
the very analogous artistic impulse In
America. where the more utilita-
nan aspects Of science are keenly ap-
preciated, no great advance in pure
theory has been made. None of the
fundamental discoveries upon which
practical applications depend have
been made In America. It seems prob
able that, az the point Of view appro-
pirate to commercial industry spreads,
ut1litarianiEm will make such funda-
mental discoveries more and more
yare, antil at last those who love
knowledge for Its own sake come to

ART TRULY IS A LANGUAGE
Those Not versed In
Its Rules.

Art, In Its broad and permanent
meaning. is language-the language
Of sentiment, of character, of national
impulse, of individual genius; and for
this reason it bears lesson, charm,
or a sanction to all-even those least
versed In its rules and least alive to
Its special triumphs. Sir Walter Scott
reverence for ancestry and his local
attachments, pOrtraiture and architec-
ture had for him a romantic interest.
Sydney Smith was impatient of gal
leries when he could talk with men
and women, and made practical joke
of buying pictures; yet Newton and
Leslie elected his best humor. Tai
fourd cared little and knew less Of the
treasures Of the Louvre, but fingered
there because 1t had been his friend
Hazlitt's Elysium. Indeed, there are
constantly blended associations In the
history Of English authors and artists;
Reynolds ID identified with johnson
and Goldsmith, Smibert with Berkeley,
Barry with Burke, Constable and
Wilkie With Sir George Beaumont,
Hayden with Wordsworth, Leslie with
Irving; the painters depict their
friends Of the pen, the latter celebrate
In verse or prose the artists triumphs,
and both intermingle thought and SYM
patty; and from this contact Of select
intelligences Of diverse vocation has
resulted the choicest wit and the most
genial companionship. - Henry T.
ruckerman.
