DEVIL DANGERS OF CEYLoA
They Are Called Into Requisition for
Curing All Kinds OF
sickness,

Despite the advance of medical
knowledge throughout India, says
writer in the October Wide World
Magazine, devil dancers are still called
into requsition in many parts of Cey-
lon for curing all kinds of sickness.
When native is taken i'll his relatives
first apply medical treatment. If, after
some days, this appears to be ineffec-
tive, it is concluded that the sickness
is one incapable of cure in this man,
ner, but is caused by some inimical in
huence, and must therefore be due to
either a glance of the evil eye. the ac-
tion of demon, or some evil planetary
action. The soothsayer is then sent
for, and this worthy, after examining
the patient, names the demon or spirit
responsible for the malady. An offer
ing is then made to the demon in the
form of food. q coin, or a piece Of
cloth Then follows the professional
dance, carried out by the devil
dancers Two men clad in gorgeous
garments and wearing strange head
dresses and masks go through a mum
Der of grotesque and extraordinary
evolutions to the beating of the tom
toms, making weird noises the while
This is kept up for hours. sometimes
all night, and is always performed
within sight of the sick person In the
complete ceremonies of the demon
called Samhi Yaka, who causes con.
vulsions, severe toothache, headache,
etc, no fewer than 80 different masks
are worn in turn by the dancers. Curl

these strange ceremonies usually have
a favorable effect upon the patients
