THE  TROPICAL  AGRlCULTURISt.

“ Yos ; but  I do  not  know  that  it  is  of  any  use 
The  building  is  out  of  the  way,  and  it  seems  diffi- 
cult to  combine  business  with  pleasure.  Then  all 
the  information  one  wants  about  the  colony  can 
be  obtained  without  going  to  South  Kensington 
for  it.  1 have  only  been  in  the  Institute  twice  in 
my  life,  and  as  far  as  serving  any  useful  purpose 
it  is,  I fear,  a failure.” 
Then,  generally,  I may  say  that  Ceylon  is  in 
a nourishing  condition.” 
“ It  has  never  been  so  flourishing  as  it  is  today, 
and  its  prosperity — thanks  to  the  tea  industry — 
was  never  based  on  » firmer  footing.  Even  in  the 
good  old  days  there  was  never  the  same  division 
of  prosperity  as  now — everybody,  from  the  public 
bodies  downwards,  being  distinctly  better  off.” 
“And  there  are  still  openings  for  the  introduc- 
tion of  capital  ? ” 
“I  am  not  quite  sure  Ceylon  is  the  place  I 
should  invest  money  in.  You  must  remember  that 
the  island  is  not  like  Australia  or  Canada,  with  a 
large  territory  to  fall  back  upon.  It  is  quite  possible 
to  attempt  too  much  in  Cey'on.  We  have  had  an 
enormous  number  of  young  men  go  out,  younger 
sons  of  well-to  do  people  with  a little  capital.  Some 
have  done  Well,  but  the  present  is  rather  a time 
for  big  companies  than  small  estate  proprietors.” 
“What  about  the  climate?” 
“ Of  course  we  have  got  variable  climates.  You 
have  it  uncomfortably  hot  in  the  lowlands,  but  we 
have  nothing  like  the  African  fevers,  being  on  the 
high  road  to  India  and  Australia.  Ceylon  is  of 
•ourse  largely  resorted  to  by  visitors,  who  are  very 
often  so  enchanted  with  the  colony  as  to  break 
their  journey  at  Colombo  and  stay  in  the  island 
until  the  arrival  of  the  next  steamevi  There  is  a 
sort  of  open  hospitality.  Anyone  taking  out  a letter 
of  introduction  to  a well-known  colonist  or  official 
is  franked  on  and  on,  and  in  this  way  be  makes 
a number  of  good  acquaintances.  There  are  some- 
thing like  2,000  planters,  largely  recruited  from 
England,  Scotland,  and  Ireland,  and  their  friends 
are  often  visiting  them.  Then  it  must  be  remembered 
that  the  conveniences  of  life  on  the  island  are 
vastly  different  to  what  they  were  thirty  years  ago. 
Yes,  sir,  Ceylon  is  flourishing,  and  long  may  it  flourish.”
