"MIRACLE-WORKER" IN COLOMBO.

HOLDS UP TRAMS AND TRAINS?

Considerable excitement is taking place in Colombo regarding the alleged magical powers of un Indian youth of ten,' who arrived yesterday, says the Times of Ceylon of June 14. ̈ His appearance in the streets to-day has been the signal for crowds to collect round him and follow him wherever he goes. Powers far beyond the ordinary are attributed to him and it is stated by some that he is a saint. The storica that gathered round this interesting per- sonality in the course of his short visit he arrived only yesterday on the Tuticorin boat-are strange in the extreme, and there is no doubt that they are believed in their entirety by thousands of people.

It is stated, for instance, that the boy, who is 器 Mohammedan, stopped a train at Colpetty - bý merely standing at the stop. The rallway authorities, however, do not not corroborate this incident. The story bears a resemblance to one from Trichinopoly where, it is alleged, the boy, was not allowed to. travel in a certain train because it was overcrowded. He got out, but said that the train would not leave without him. The authorities, 80 the atory runs, were unable to gel- the train to move until they provid- ed special accommodation for the wonderful youth..

A somewhat similar story is told- regarding the stoppage of a tram- car at the junction of Gasworks Street. It is said that Sayad Ahamed Koya Thangai-such is thu boy's namo-boarded a tramear and had just taken his soat when the conductor asked him for his fare. This was not forthcoming, and thetram was stopped and he was requested to leave, which ho lid after some demur. When the driver at- tempted to start up again, however, the tram would not move. En- gincera, so it is stated, "were called from the tramway depot but nothing was of any avall. All the time the boy stood watching the proceedings from the pavement and after half-an-hour he came for ward, it is said, and told the con- ductor that he had punished him suficiently for his rudeness and that the tram might now proceed. It is stated that the tram car moved off immediately. Unfortunately for this pretty story the Traffic Manager of the Colombo Electric
