SACRED TOOTH OF BUDDHA
Relic Held in Such Veneraton That II
Is Exhibited Only Once In
Five Years.

To make full confession, I had not
even known that the festival would fall
in the year of our visit, not to speak
Of the very week. OF course, every
lover of the East has learned that the
Scored Tooth is exhibited every five
years for the alteration of the faithful
and in the interval neither prince nor
venerable form. Both the official head
of Buddhism in Ceylon and the Brit
ish representative would have to agree
to any departure from this usage, SO
the rule is strictly observed. One in
stinctively asks why the relic is SC
sacred. The history of this solicitously
guarded treasure, as narrated by the
Sihghalese priests, may be summarized
as follows: When Buddha's body had
been burned, an Arafat took an I'M
consumed fragment from the ashes of
the funeral pyre. This was the left
cenine tooth, destined to become the
most celebrated of the many wondrous
relics of the founder of the faith. After
a rather peaceful existence of about
eight centuries, In the southern peninsu-
la, it became SO famous, and created
such disturbance in the Brahmatic
community that it was surreptitiously
carried to the Buddhist center in Cey-
Ion, concealed in the tresses of the
Princess Kalinga. Naturally, such a
priceless possession proved the cause
of international strife. Once, at least
1t was carried back to the mainland OF
India, but was recovered by Prakrama
Bahu III, to become once more the
source Of untold blessings.-From
"The Festival of the Tooth" by
F. B. r. Hellems, in Asia Magazine.

have remarkably sharp eyes, and may
be seen standing for perhaps fifteen
minutes at a time quite still, scanning
