Colombo.

The crossroads of routes of all the
east is Colombo, Ceylon. There, as at
Constantinople, may one expect to
meet representatives of all races, with
the dominant Turkish Mohannmedan OF
the former city replaced by the Indian
Buddhist, the mInarets of the tenn
pies of the latter being substituted
for the gilded domes of the mosques of
the city by the Golden Horn
tucked away i'll the warm seas to
the south of Asia, Ccylon is known as
the garden of the world" and heralds
itself to the approaching steamship by
the odors of its cinnamon groves and
of its limitless vistas of scented, color
full flowers.
At Colombo IS brea kwater-inclose
harbor that suggests the presence OF
nen Of the west, and sure enough, the
flag of Britain floats from the light
house of the port, which likewise
serves as clock for all who dwell
therea bouts The town was Dutch be-
fore it became English 120 years ago,
and there remain Doris structures in
evidence of its former allegiance Even
| before that it was Portuguese, as is
evidenced by the architecture of cathe-
drals that remain. Yet earlier it was
dominated by the Arab. and from these
conquerors, and not from the discov-
erer of America, does it get It's name
The British tore down the fort that
occupied the water front fifty years
ago. and in its place has sprung up a
modern city which transacts the mass
of the business that zones to this gate
of the far east. Thefe is a fresh ter
lake near by separated from the sea
by spit of sand and bordered with
iowers-the most fashionable parade
on the indian ocean.
Back of this is the native quarter
where the Tamils. those jugglers and
snake charTners of marvellous mystic
power, perform their miracles. There
are to be seen the Moormen, with their
tail. brimless hats; the aiaiays, the
Syrian Jews, the Cinghalese, whose
men folk wear brilliantly colorea petit
coats There are uncounted children,
to whom any stitch of clothing is un-
known. The jinrikishas hurry hither
and thither the bull carts bump over
the cobb1estones, and the stately ele-
phant, more at home here than any
where else in the world, strides past
in lordly dignity.
Built of bamboo is the native house,
with no wall to shut out the view from
the street and there the women of Co
Iombo demonstrate to whomever wishes
to see their methods of housekeeping,
while the men folk pursue their favor
tie diversions in strange games of
chance, which are beyond the knowl-
edge of men of the west.

TWEL We KINDS OF TORTOlsES
FOUND ABOUT WASHlNGTON

mas not made any appropriation for an
aquarium at the Zoo, there is no OPP
portunlty for observing the many
water tortoises OF this and other coun-
tries, but the park contains three
splendid specimens OF the gigantic
land tortoises from the Galapa Cos Is
lands, off the west coast of South
America. These tortoises have been
at the Zoo for seventeen years, having
been acquired In 1898. One weighs 1855
pounds. and the other two are not
quite SO large. They are a clumsy
looking trio, of such slow locomotion
that it has been calculated that if they
| Travelled constantly night and day they
could only cover four miles in the
twenty four hours.
These tortoises have been described
at length by Darwin in one of his
books, and Admiral David Porter,
L. S. N, has also given an interesting
account of them in his journal of a
Cruise in the Pacific Ocean," in 1913
Admiral Porter dwelt particularly
upon their value as an article of food,
stating that after once tasting the
Galapagos tortoise every other animal
food fell greatly in estimation. These
tortoises have been used so extern
sively for making oil and provisioning
passing vessels that they are rapidly
becoming extinct. One of the many
curious facts about the elephant tor
toise is that he carries a supply of
water amounting to several quarts in
a bag at the root of the neck and ex-
plorers when hard pressed for water
have been known to kill a tortoise
and drink the contents of this sack.

Keeping Track of Soldiers.

TT Is doubtful whether any foreign
war Office follows with an accuracy
greater than that displayed by the
United States War Department the
movements of it's officers. The follow
ing is an interesting case in point.
A young army officer who had seen
service in this country and in the east
was once with small scouting party
in Arizona. After two weeks in the
desert his squad came to the railway
near small station. Within ten min
utes a telegram from Washington was
brought to him by the station agent.
1t asked if the officer wished to be
transferred to one of the new artil-
lery regiments then forming.
He answered by telegraph that he
would be glad to enter either of them.
Then with his squad he set off again
across the desert.
1t was six days later when they again
struck the railway. this time eighty
miles from the point at which they had
previously crossed 1t, but the officer s
reply from the War Department was
awaiting him. 1t had been telegraphed
to every station within two hundred
miles.
A more striking instance of accu-
racy occurred after the same officers
transfer to the east. He was travelling
home on leave and, as the regulations
require, had notIhed the department of
the day, hour and probable route of his
Journey. After he had been on the
train for eight hours at a small sta
ton the conductor entered with a tele-
gram, asking If any one of his name
was on board. On opening the tele-
gram the officer found that it ordered
him to detached duty.
Exactness of detail could not be car
ried much further. The War Depart
ment knew the whereabouts of a sec
ond lieutenant even when he was trav-
cling on leave of absence.

Sweet potatoes should be dug on a
| bright day when the soil is dry. The
. ne for digging varies in different see
before there is any danger of hard
frosts. When grown on small scale,
sweet potatoes may be dug with a
Spading fork. Great care should he
| taken not 10 bruse or injure the roots
in handling. After digging, the roots
should lie exposed for two or three
hours to dry, after which they should
be placed in Il warm. well ventilated
room. The temperature during the cur
ing PERIOD Of about ten days should he
about so to 80 degrees Fahrenheit Aft =
er the curing period the temperature
should be lowered gradually to about
% degrees Fahrenheit and held at tina t
point during the remainder Of the stor-
age period. 4 small crop may be cured
near the kitchen stove and afterwa RI
stored in n dry room where there is no
danger of their becoming chilled.
Handle sweet potatoes as little as pos
sible.
Rotation of crops is as important in
growing vegetables as in growing field
CROPS, and the same principles can be
applied. Crop rotation is important in
checking diseases and insects and in
Keeping the soil in good condition.
Where diseases are very severe, the
same crop should not be planted con-
tinuously on the same area. Rotation
of crops is one of the safeguards
against soil infection.
