to exhibit in this city. Hardly a child
lives in the length and breadth of this

The American Invasion.

The American Invasion.
"How do you consider Americas ac-
ton in the Philippines?"
'The American invasion, so-called,
has been the greatest boon to the Phil
ippines they have ever known. If for
nothing else, the people should be ev-
erlastingly grateful to the United
States for the establishment of a, free
school system. 1t is the turning point,
the salvation of the islanders"
Ceylon's Natural Riches.
ITO return to Ceylon DOCTOR" was
asked, Upon what does the island de-
pend for export?"
"As | have said, my country is very
in use now that once obtained we
should. though small, compete with
the world in the expectation of many
articles. Cocoanuts are the mainstay
| of the island and it is noted for them.
Nutmegs. candamons, cloves and 9TH
er spices grow luxuriantly. Coffee and
tea are not far behind although they
are newer. The best plumbago in the
world is obtained from Ceylon. Gala
mander. ebony and satin wood are the
finest cabinet woods from the island
Excepting the first, which is getting
scarce now, they are plentiful in the
forests Ferns, orchids and palms are
plentiful
Relic of Past Grandeur.
'The irrigation system is relic of
they bygone days of the kings, when
Ceylon saw it's greatest period. Then
the island was the best artificially IT.
rigated land in the world. When the
first invaders came from South India
the agricultural life was forgotten in
| the defense of the country and when
at last the arms were laid down the ir.
rigation works had deteriorated to
such an extent that they have never
been rebuilt to their past condition of
perfection. Some parts of the great
system still remains, however.
"You know suppose. that Ceylon
has, in the district of Ratnapur, the
best ruby mines in the world. Sap
phires are also plentiful. Emeralds are
found there. but rarely. Such stones
as catseyes, moonstones, starstones and
Alexanderites are plentiful.
The Law of Change.
"Then what is it since your country
is so rich in vegetables and minerals,
that prevents it's people from being
great and prosperous in spite of the
lack of education?"
Everything changes, nothing lasts,
say the sacred books. :. And if We are
willing to admit that there is a philo.
sophical aspect to all things Nations,
as men. are subject to the law of
change, which. like any other law of
nature, cannot be altered. Nations

and others take their place. The time
of activity is followed by period of
rest. Ceylon's decline was slow; it's
revival. when the hour shall come, will
be slow. But the spiritual light that is
beginning to tighten the whole world
will, sooner or later, awaken Ceylon
and again it will be as it was when
Solomon garnered it's precious stones
and sang songs of joy over its beauty
and the fragrance of it's trees and
