THREAT THAT is EFFECTIVE
Ceylonece Creditors Have a Remark-
ably Effective Method of Enforc- ‘
ing Collections.
The native of Ceylon is an intract-
able creditor. , He possesses an irre
xlstible method. 02 securing payment
without recourse to tbe bailiffs. cita-
tions, Judgments, duns or summonses
which fall like hall about the ears of
European debtors. .
The Ceylonese creditor betnkes him
to the house of the man who owes him
money, holding in his hand some leaves
of the neungnla, an extremely poison-
ous plant. and declares that. unless he
is paid on the spot be will poison him-
self.
The debtor pays up without hesita-
tion. At home he would of course
simply laugh in the face of the shoe-
thrcai’. and tell him 5 go ahead; but
in Ceylon them is a local law which
imposes an enormous fine on anyone
who is tl cause of the suicide of an-
other. T mkiliere is no case on rec-
ord in which n creditor was permitted
to carry out his fhreat.
The question. however, seems to be
whether in (be (no? or an obstinate
refusal to pay, the creditor would
not be wiser to lose his money than
his life.

Origin of the Compass.
In the reign of the Chinese emperor.
Bo-nngfl. in 2698 B.’ C.. a certain ce-
lestial discovered that if a narrow
netic iron ore. found in Asia Minor,
was placed upon a piece 0!. wood and
the latter allowed to float, in a bowl
of water. the, iron would invariably
point in a_ north, and south. direction.
This crude device was lmproved by
the addition of a circular woodenicard
on which 24 rays, were drawn. Each
one of these. lines was’g‘lven a. name,
and the whole thing was called a "ting-
na-chihg." which is the Chinese word
for compass. The south point of the
circle was dignified with a distinguish-
ing mark, in the some manner as other
nations today indicate the north point
of their compasses by a ileur-do-lis or
an arrow. The Chinese compass of-
the present day shows only the 24 1
points given to it 5.000 years ago. 1
