averse to trading if the transfer is con-
Quoted according to their methods.
When they desire to make an exchange
they leave a haunch of venison on the
edge of the forest, with clay model
of the tool or article which they wish
to secure, coming later to secretly
carry away their purchase.
1t is claimed that the Veddahs have
no conception Of telling lie or COM
hitting a theft. If anything belonging
to them is missing, instead of holding
anyone responsible they place the
blame for the disappearance upon the
article itself. They are very solemn
folk and no one has ever seen them
smile or laugh. A scientist who pene-
trated the jungle in order to make q
study of their eccentricities, claims that
after much maneuvering he was al
lowed to approach several of them and
could not arouse even the faintest
flicker of a smile on their faces, al
though he tickled their ribs and feet
with straws. I recognize my pre-
sumption in offering suggestion in
behalf of science, but I am sure that
when all other efforts have failed to
make the Veddahs laugh, that result
may easily be accomplished by read
ing to them some of the articles The
scientists have written about them.
