Recent Ceylon papers contain accounts of a remarkable ceremony which took place re- cently in Colombo. This was the reception of a gentleman from America, who lately arrived in Ceylon, into the Buddhist creed. The proceedings took place under the‘ direction of the Buddhist high priest, assist- ed by eleven yellow~robed monks. The convert knelt before the assembled and intimated his desire to be admitted a member of the Buddhist Church. The higlr priest then catechised him and the assembled tr had forgotten that he hid put the question.

The Advantages ofa Bow Propellerâ€".1 New Purl Wanted. A correspondent who has read the article entitled “ Build a Four-day Ship" writes to ask how it is possible that a screw placed in the bow of a ship could prove more rfiicient than one placed in the stern, and cites the well-known fact that when the ordinary screw steamers try to go astern they make poor work of it. As to the fact it is not now questioned. There are a number of boats in use, notably the ferryboats on the Mersey at Liverpool, “'0'”. W155” "1°08?" fallen beads.

The stone is hauled up, and the diver, after tak- ing breath, pluu es in again.
