AN ANCIENT RACE DYING OUT
The Veddahs of ceylon Regarded as
Representing 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 fifty or sixty of them
still alive and that a few years more
will see the end Of their race.
The yeddahs 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 to-
ward them Is remarkable. They hold
the poor creatures in great honor and
rank them as belonging to the high
est caste in the island. The reason is
that they are reputed to have de.
scended from the ancient demons or
spirits that were the original pos
SCISSORS OF the island.
These nomad, hunting people, never
leaving their forests. living under
trees and in caves, without knowledge
of pottery or any other art except
that of making bows and arrows, are
perishing because OF their way Of liv-
ing and OF their inability to stand
up when stronger folk are pressing
closer around them. They are ex-
actly what they were centuries ago
when people Of India came and con-
quered their green island.-Sun.
