THE COBRA STONE.
Il Oeyion Story About the Reptile and

Everyone knows that Ceylon is. ia

rare precious stones found in the
sands. of its dried up river beds.
Among these Is one called "chloro-
phane," a rare variety Of -four spar,
which shines at night with phospho-

certain species of cobra makes use Of
this stone 70 attract insects In the
darkness. Indeed, the name given
It is "naja-kaller," or cobra stone.
A scientist resolved to test this won
derful story during a stay in the
island, so offered any cody S rupees

In about 8 week an old Tamil came
In and offered to show him one. He
followed this guide, and, sure
enough, there, under an, immense
tsmarind tree, he saw a little point
of steady greenish light and could
family distinguish behind cobra

from side to side. 1t would have
been desperately dangerous to ap-

begged him not to do so, saying that
next night he would himself get the
stone. He did so, and in rather clev-
er fashion. : Before dark he climbed
into the tree, carrying large bag of
ashes. After nightfall the cobra
turned up as usual, and deposited It's
treasure, which it carried in its
mouth, before it. Thereupon the
cody emptied his bag Of ashes over
the shining object, and the frighten-
Sd reptile after, wild but fruitless
search crept back into the jungle.
The cody descended, searched the
ashes, found the stone and received
his promised reward.-London Tele-
