MAIN CITY OF CEYLON
COLOMBO ALWAYS INTERESTING

Its Origin Goes Back Beyond the

Colombo, Ceyion.-Apart from its

the first glimpse of tropical luxuri-

il still remains in his recollection as
essentially typical of the Tropics.
One day early in November I had

the low promontory which Ptolemy

the second century A. ID. as "Jovis Ex-

amount of noise. The heat sand the

upon the stranger, and a battling en-

the while to clog and hamper every
movement of body or of limb.
Two-wheeled bulIock-carts innumer-
able passed along at a leisurely pace,
many of them loaded with tea-chests
and some with plantains or other
fruit. The bullocks were little crea-

that lay across their necks were
heavily fashioned. A thatch of palm
leaves protected the goods from rain

tramways echoed the modernity of
shops and Office buildings, but the old
order jostled with the new. A herd of
water buffaloes INSTRUCTED the tram

street corner squatted the sellers of
betel, generally women.

ARREsTING FLIGHT OF TIME
German Scientists Advise the Eating
Of Egg Shells by Those Who
Approach Old Age.

Two Germans, deep thinkers-Pro-
fessors Emmerich and Loewe-state
that egg shells eaten increase the
power of resistance against "the with
ering blight of time" add weight TO
the body, activity to the brain and
strength to the heart; that they de-
stroy injurious bacilli, prevent infam-
nation and disease and lend courage
and energy. This reminds me, Phil
Up Hale writes in the Boston Herald,
Of the preparation advertised in Loil-
don thirty or more years ago as re-
moving superfiuous hair. being an e.
cellent substitute for table butter,
none genuine unless stamped on the
blade. Eustace Miles, the English
court tennis player and vegetarian.
says he had an cid nurse who used
to eat egg shells and crunch them joy
fully between the teeth that happened
to meet and she said she ate the
shells because they shaved the hair
off inside of the throat" The discov-
cry of the German scientist is Pc
culiarly welcome to dwellers by the
ocean, for it is well known fact that
IL you do not break egg shells the
witches will put out to sea in them to
wreck vessels, and of you burn the
shells the hens will cease to lay.
Furthermore, as eggs are now absurd
ly high-even case eggs--in the neigh
borhood it seems a pity to waste any
part OF them.
