Earth Eatinq.

Earth eating is habit often OBJ
served in India. and is very widely
distributed 1t often manifests itself
as a symptom of disease or perverted
appetite. but among many healthy
people it is regular habit. In add.
ton to India, the Soudan, China and
the Malay archipelago are mentioned
as places where the custom prevails,
but these by no means exhaust the
list. 1t is said that in Siberia and
Lapland. earth consisting Of the fos-
SLICED siliceous shells of diatoEls is
mixed with meal to make a kind of
flour 1t is also said that the Anus
of Japan used to eat paste made OF
a mixture of diatomaceous earth. The
Indians of Guatemala eat yellowish
edible earth containing sulphur, not
so much as a food. but as prophy-
Tactic against disease. There are peo-
pie in Bengal who regard the fine
earth of which anthills are built as s
delicacy, and the explanation has been
suggested that the flavor is due to
a digestive fluid added to the earth
by the ants to make it more easily
worked.
