[Original caption] Wellawatta Canal. The length of the island of Colombo is 270 miles, its width 140 miles, an area about four-fifths the size of Ireland. The heavy rains and the mildness of the atmosphere make Ceylon one of the most fruitful countries of the world. Tea is now the staple product. Wellawatta is a suburb, four miles from Colombo. [end]
