WHERE MEN WEAR COMBS
Ia Ceylon They Mark the Native
 Males Social Standing.

Males Social Standing.
 Ceylon is perhaps the only country in the world where men wear combs. It is the delight of the native males of the low country to wear their hair twisted into a roll at the back of the head, with horseshoe shaped tortoise shell comb at the top. The women, curiOusly enough, do not affect this ornament.
 It appears that one of the great ann position is to possess and we,Ir a huge comb of the finest luster and most per feet manufacture, and many indicate their higher social status by means of an additional comb rising to a consider able height above their glossy coil.
 The artist in tortoise shell who makes these combs obtains his raw materials from the hawk bill turtle. The turtle is killed and its carcass immediately immersed in boiling water. The plates when separated from the bony part of the animal are very irregular in form. Being brittle, they require careful ma nipulation. especially as high tenn perature, which would soften them tends to darken and cloud the she'll They are therefore treated at as low a heat as is possible for the work.
 Thickness is obtained by softening several plates and then applying pres sure. when union of the surfaces takes place. Under heat the shell also is nodded into various artificial forms Exchange.

Watersnouts.

waterspout is a miniature tornad3 originating in a strong upward draft of air which occurs above the surface of body of comparatively warm water. Its effect first becomes visible in n circular motion at the point of the cloud to which it ascends. This be- comes a whirl. which condenses the vapor at its center, causing the portion of the cloud there to drop downward in the shape of a gigantic jelly bag At the same time the continuing upward draft increases the rapidity of it's orig inal swirl and the condensed vapor caught within it until the ascending and descending masses join to form the waterspout. Necessarily by this pro- ress the air beneath the spout is rare fed. and thus where the phenomenon occurs at sea the water always seems to be sucked up into it. although this i
