VITRIOL THROWING IN BANGKOK.

Yesterday at about four p.m., says the Stam Observer of 4th just, as elderly Siamese woman named Amendeng Chit was seated in a tran-car hear the Bangkok Times office when two men hailed the conductor land had the vehicle stopped. They entered and immediately sized the unfortunate woman by the throat and poured some corrosive acid, apparently vitriol, over her face. They then sprang from the car and ran down the lana leading to Wat Takien. A policeman named Nai Chong im médiately gave chass but the miscreants drew knives. Notwithstanding this he went on, but unfortunately they got amongst some trees and disappeared. The unfortunate woman was at once conveyed to the Bangrak Hospital where her injuries, where are said to be severe, were attended to. We understand the woman can indentify her dastardly assailants and that the affair, arose out of jealousy regarding some business transaction. The palice are now searching for the culprits and their arrest should not take long. According to accounts by eye- witnesses the tram driver and conductor merely did nothing but look on during the whole affair. SOME SIAMESE DECORATIONS.

EXEAT THE DOG. [BY A NORFOLK NATURALIST:) Many of us will probably live until to tell children that we can recollect the time when vehicles in the London streets were drawn along by that tall and unsteady animal," the horse, will stamp us as relics of a barbarous past. Children of the future, accustomed only to compressed air cars skimming noiselessly over the polished asphalt, will try to imagine what Piccadilly circus was like with great four legged horses plunging, galloping, snorting, falling down, and waving their tails on every side of you; and one of "Granny's" best re- miniscences will be the perils of crossing a London street under the very noses of a pair of ramping 'bus horses, with a hasom swinging round the corner, a brougham dashing by, with a growler creeping along the kerb. But even more amazing will be our personal knowledge of the time when dogsdags! used to wander at lare in the streets.
