$l.73 per box. AS Cuban oranges sell
from $3.50 to $3.50 per box i'm New

for growing them. The moral is
plain. II you want to grow citrus

Miami pines is zoe. III there is no

An ANCIENT RACE DYING OUT.
vsddahs Of csylon Regarded % Rep
rssentins the Stone Age.

The Oldest inhabitants Of Ceylon are
passing away. These are the famous
Veddahs.
Fifty years ago It was estimated
that 5000 Of them were still living in
the forests, but DR.. Max Moszkowski,
who has recently visited them, says
there are only 80 or 60 Of them still
alive and that few more years will
see the end Of their race.
The Veddahs have interested an
thropologists because they have been
regarded as the best living types Of
the man of the stone age.
The attitude Of the Cingalese toward
them is remarkable. They hold the
poor creatures in great honor and rank
them as belonging to the highest caste
In the island. The reason is that they
are reputed to have descended from
the ancient demons or spirits that
were the original possessors Of the
island.
These nomad, hunting people, never
leaving their forests, living under
trees and in caves, without knowl-
edge Of pottery or any other art ex-
cept that Of making bows and arrows,
are perishing because Of their way Of
living and Of their inability to stand
up when stronger folk are pressing
closer around them. They are exact
ly what they were centuries ago when
people Of India came and conquered
their green island.
