A reader of ' ' The Kingdom of Siam ' ' 

 is impressed with the fact that the 

 Siamese have considerable enterprise, 

 that their lands are fertile and promis- 

 ing, and that the people will welcome 

 foreign investment and treat the for- 

 eigner well. These impressions will be 

 further confirmed by a visit to the Sia- 

 mese pavilion at the Louisiana Pur- 

 chase Exposition. That distant country 

 has made a capital and most attractive 

 exhibit at St Louis under the direction 

 of Prof. J. Howard Gore, the Commis- 

 sioner-General for Siam.
