It Is certainly not without apprehcn-i

the magic arts generally is to be noted.

the boundary Of pastimes. People have
long since begun to take them quite

surprise to find how many otherwise
quite sensible, level-headed, practical
folk will suddenly declare themselves
believers in some one or another Of
the multitudinous ways by which peo-
pic are deceived into the belief that
they can peep into the future or the
past, or find out the unknowable.

resenting 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 so or go 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.
