EXAGGERATIONS.

Warmth such as we expérience in Cay- lon does not in itself cause direct injury to the constitution. It does however cause heavy perspiration which may of course absorb a large measure of vitality. Notwithstanding this, the primary con- dition of life in Ceylon is not strictly unhealthy. At the same time it must be borne in mind that it is not the natural environment of the European, nor is it possible for him within his lifetime to adjust his constitution to conditions so radically novel. He must strike a com- promise by refilling his depleted reserves by regular home leave. It is common to find people who have withstood the rigours of the East for a considerable" number of years at a stretch but the fact that they are to be met with: does not affect the general rule,

There are people who hold a theory

that for every year spent in the tropics a certain and definite portion of one's natural span is foreshortened. They can even tell you the mathematical ratio..It would be interesting to prove such a theory. Insurance statistics might serve the purpose. But this is not an opinion whith has any valid foundation. The East affords & plentiful scope for a suicidal method of living, but because this method happens to be adopted by the few it is not logic to apply it as a general theory to the many,
