The well-known kitchen-god or furnace-spirit, bas his hidden place in the kitchen, somewhere, perhaps ever in your kitchen, dear reader. According to the traditions recorded in the street-literature, and made public in the market-places, he has a bad past.

He should be "län ken dü dache " Le, exterminated, root A branch, though your helthen cook would abject to that, " bo- Cats? next time soup will geti spoil." When the fellow was taken in the act of adultery, he jumped, into the burning furnace, and was burned to death.

In order to inako him report in a' kind manner, his mouth is smeared with honey,

Wireless stations have been active in efforts to trace his whereabouts, but neither Akyab, Saigon, Bang kok or Victoria Point are able to report any sign of him.

Flying conditions in the area are extremely bad. Since he left Cal- cutt, heavy rains, strong winds and severe thunderstorms have been provaleat, the usual preliminary to the monsoon. It would not be aur- prising, therefore, if the airman had met with a mishap.

A Dutch westbound mailplane yesterday reported thunderstorms all the way from Medan to Ran good.
