CEYL0N'S DEVIL BIRD.
II Gets Its Bad Name From Its APP
pallina Screams.

Most people who have visited the
island of Ceylon and penetrated into
lis jung, businesses have heard the
cry of ,.hc devil bird. This awe in
tpirin. sound resembles nothing so
much ~ the scream of Il human be-
ing undergoing the most terrible
torture. Naturalists have idcnti-
lied it with the Syrnium indrani--a
brown wood owl found in Hindu
stan. But the devil bird, or "ula-
ma As the Cingalese call it, is an
elusive creature, and no one has had
the good fortune to kill or catch a
specimen. The Cingalesc-natural
| ~ Il superstltious race-regard the
cry of this bird with the utmost hor-
ror. They believe that its scream
heard at night presages the most
dire misfortune, and they are in the
habit Of offering sacrifices to avert
the approaching disaster. The su-
pcrstition is probably of very great
antiquity. But Robert Knox, who
was a prisoner in Ceylon for tWeA-
ty wears about the middle of the
Seventeenth century, gives an inter
esting account of it, although in
/ common with the natives he be-
!. lieyed the cry proceeded from the
devil himself.
This ] can confirm he writes,
"that oftcntimes. the devil doth cry
with audible voice in the night. 'Tis
very shrill, almost like the barking
of dog. This have often heard
myself Only this observation the
inhabitants Of the land have made
of this voice. and | made it also that
either just before or very suddenly
after this voice always the king cuts
off people. To believe that this
is the voice Of the devil these rea-
sons urge: Because there is no crea-
ture known to the inhabitants that
cries like it and because it will on a
sudden depart from one place and
make noise in another quicker
than any fowl can fly and because
the very dogs will tremhle and shake
when they hear it, and lis so ac-
counted by all the people.
\ modern account, however, is
given bv Mr.. Milford of the Ccylon
civil service. who affirmed that he
had often heard the cry while at
| Kuruncgala, where the bird haunted
the rocky hill behind the govern
ment house. lie had evidently
studied the mysterious bird witt

ENGLISH DRUMMERS.
The Way Their Comfort Is Looked
After at the Hotels.

Travelling men in England have
special dining rooms, special rates
and special lots of things" said a
citizen of Manchester, England.
when YOU 90 into the lobby of
an English hotel YOU may be sur
prlscd TO find "A great open fire burn
ing in one end of the room. Great,
comfortable chairs will be found
about the lobby, and YOU need not
eXclaim if you see several salesmen
smoking long pipes and reposing
their stockinged feet upon large
foot stools. Empty shoes can be
found in many portions of the room.
The English LOBBY is a parlor or
sitting room, place of comfort, and
in no instance bears the stiff, var
nished, emblazoncd appearance of
your American hostclries. When YOU
90 to the dining room YOU may be
surprised to hear the clerk ask if YOU
are travelling man. If YOU are YOU
are ushered into a simply but home
~ furnished room containing one
long table. The apartment is more
like private dining room, and ev-
erybody is everybody else's friend.
"The meal is especially served,
the walters show especial Difference,
and everything bears tone of home
life. As each man leaves the table
he is seen to drop halfpenny in a
little box. Thi, is an unwritten law
of the land. and the money thus col
Iccted goes to pay for schools and
orphanages for the children of trav-
cling salesmcn who die without leav-
ing sufficient means for their sup
port. Several of these schools and
orphanages are maintained through
out England.
English travelling salesmen take
life easier than do the men following

Much of the superstition in poet
rv, SAYS Andrew Wilson in the Lon
don Graphic, is due to the imperfec-
tions of science. Crabbe, for exam
pie, wrote Of the Zoophytes that he
STYLED "a race. which science, doubt
ing, knows not where to place" In
Crabbe's days at Aldborough he be-
came familiar with the sea flower" "
with which the sea wrack was often
mixed. 10 him they represented
singular groWths that were neither
animal nor vegetable. Yet even in
Crabbe's day the zoophytes were
known to represent colonies of ami
mails growing in The strange yerlsi
Multitude Of plants. At the very
least the poet committed no vital
error, for he knew the race involved
in sea wrack' was a living one. and
he duly commented on the difficulty
of science placing it in any category
of satisfactory kind.
