N ISLAND of fragrant spices, a land of enchantment that fulfills the romantic dreams of youth, a veritable paradise of emerald verdure, bordered by tho sheen waters of a tropical sea that is Ceylon. And of Colombo, What can be said? lt is there that tho world travelers from the four winds meet; it is there that one hears the languages of almost every land in 'ho two hemispheres spoken, wrltos W. D. Hornaday in Grit In no city of the world is there to be found day by dav a more cosmopoli tan transient population than In Col ombo, lt ls a port of call for many . steamships that ply regularly between points in the far East and Europe, and between; Australia, New Zealand and Europe. It is there one meets elephant and tiger hunters ot India, tea plant ers, spice buyers, officers of the army and navy of. many nations, wool buy ers who pass to and fro between England, Franco abd the far-off lands oE Australia and New Zealand. The island kings-the cocoanut princes from the , coral dots of the Indian ocean and the Bouth Seas gather there for a season of social pleasures; the . American. millionaire comes into the harbor in hi's yacht and lends to tho guyety of thc ?cene ashore by tho prodigal'way " in which ho scatters his money around. -. .v. y ' , ?very Singalese man and boy ls a natural merchant and trader!

In tho first room was an imago of Buddha. It is about twenty-live ?oet long and In a reclining position. Upon the walls of this and other rooms of the temple are paint inga representing various phases of the religion. Prom the temple 1 was escorted .to cnother building that is used aa tho Oriental college and li brary, it was a stuffy, tjll-smolling room whore I was shawn ancient em blems and relics and shelves of .books. As I was ready to leave, tho man said: "Marster will now give mo a pres ent." I greatly enjoyed the experience of a visit to the big rative market. Strange to western oyes wero most of tho products on salo there. At one pf the stands waB a dealer who was call ing in a loud voice something like thia, aa ho handed oranges to a cus tomer: Ely, ely, ely, Hy, Hy, ily, oly, oly, ply." . To my ears it sounded like an at tempt at singing. "What kind of song 1B that fellow* Binging??" I asked the interpreter who accompanied me. -, "He's not singing, sahib; ho Is counting tho oranges," replied, my man. It was too good a joke on me to keep, and soon the crowd around the stand was laughing at my mistake. ?
