The bulk of third-class passengers and a greater portion of the second-class passengers are stay- ing on board, but more than half the first-class passengers are either at Kandy or Nuwara Eliya.

HOW THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED, An officer of the vessel, in con- versation with a representative of the paper. said that everything had gone well til they had zearly reached Ismalia. The wind then began to give them a lot of trouble and the ship touched ground for the first time after lunch early in the after- noon (April 3rd). They delayed a little time at that spot. When they bad started again the ship kept con tinually bumping on bad corners and it was on one of these occasions that the propeller was damaged. As a matter of fact the wind then dropped and they proceeded merrily to Suez. where they found that one blade of the port propeller had been broken and two others seriously bent..

knots. As soon as they had examin- ed the damage they knew at once. that it was "a dry dock job." The majority of the passengers knew nothing of the accident. There were no shocks felt at all on board. There was only a very alight shock when the nose of the ship touched ground on one occasion, but when the accid- ent occurred no one was aware of it) except the officers on the bridge.. The wind was entirely responsible for the accident. The propeller was now being attended to by Messrs. Walter Sons and Co. under the supervision of the ship's engineers, and the repairs would not be complete till about Thursday. The blades had to go through a process of cooling on their own tem- perature; hence the delay. As re gards the passengers everything was being done to make them comfort- able and happy. The, arrangements. made by the Agents were quite satis factory, the lavatory accommodation being more than sufficient. passengers were naturally upset at the delay but otherwise they had made no complaint.

KISS ONLY IN THE EVENING.

SCIENTIST'S ADVICE TO

LOVERS.

The

Kissing from a medical point of view was one of the subjects dis cussed at the convention of the New York State Medical Society,

After listening to a paper read by Dr. Lawson Brown, the convention endorsed with a round of applause the following advice to lovers S

"If you would be sanitary, kiss only in the evening or the afternoon. Disease germs lurk in morning klases because the sun and the fresh air have not had a chance to sterilise even the sweetest lips.

Dr. Brown, who is head of a sanatorium at Saranac Lakes, sald

"Some months ago we made kimning tests at Sarania to determine whether the tuberculosis could be transmitted by the contract of lips. We selected a pretty young woman with a bad casa of tuberculosis and induced "her to kisa a stalised dish. We found that her momag klases gave forth a few germs, but those in the afternoon and evening were a pretty healthy. risk.” M

Dr. Brow drew from this the scientific deduction that it is a for tunate thing for the human race that courting is done at night and in the Jate afternoon, endeavo
