DUBIOUS DRINKS OF cEYLoN.
Water of sickness of Mush, Only
Rather More So.


Wine made in Ceylon has a curious
enemy, the muskrat Not an innocent
and even edible little beast like our
own muskrat, but a creature described
as "a fearful plague" and so powerful
is its oder that at one time it was
thought it would even penetrate glass
This belief was due to the fact that
securely bottled wine, over the bottles
of which this rat had passed and il
passing perfumed them. was found on
opening to be utterly worthless ana
full of musk" According to Bonfort s
Wine and Spirit Circular, investiga-
tons and experiments, however
showed that instead of penetrating the
glass it finds access to the vim
through the cork.
+. The water of Ceylen is none of TIL
best Near the coast lines it is brack-
ish, owing to the sea and the many
salt marshes. In the low country
where rivers and streams are few and
far apart the supply is from artificial
tanks. and their tributary streams and
outlets are the resort of the deer ana
cattle and elephants that come to
battle and walloW in them, thereby
keeping the water in a muddy state
perpetually.
To remedy this condition the Cinga-
lese resort to a rather curious prac-
tice: water for drinking purposes IS
elways put into an unglazed chattN.
which before using they thoroughly
rub with a seed that they call ingini.
This is rubbed on the inside of the
chatty until about half of the seed is
worn away; the muddy water is then
poured in the prepared jar and al
lowed to stand.
At first the WateP is about the con-
sisteney of muailage. but this soon dis
appears and a viseid sediment forms
at the bottom of the vessel, the clear
water remaining on top. II is now
ready for use, and although not of the
clearest is sufficiently pure for ordi-
nary use.

Who have settled there.
It is therny fruited plant with dark
orange-c olored roots and primrose-like
flowers, which has equally wonderful
effects on milk and on water, though
