He is a tall man with long hair and beard, is clad in a white monk's robe, and wears sandals on his bare feet. Those who accost him re ceive the answer: "I am'Mava, and these who follow me are Meva." This queer fellow, it appears, is a Dutchman by birth, named Salomonson. He has been in the consular service, and spent some time in Java, where he be came imbued with a new semi-religious creed, for which he now seeks to mane propaganda. This modern apostle only eats raw fruit, vegetables and nuts. No liquid of any sort, he claims, has passed his lips since September, 1901. He eschews salt, which he says, is the root of all evil and illness. All these interesting partic ulars are set forth in a pamphlet printed in four languages, which this exponent of the ultrasimple life presents to those who appear interested.
