His appeal struck us as being sound and very much to the point, and we have little doubt that due notice will be taken of it in official quarters. It is possible, however, that matters have not yet sufficiently advanced to necessitate the employment of a staff of en- gineers, for, as in Rangoon, as here, the first step must be to look thor- oughly over the ground; after that has been done, the time for carry ing out anti-malarial works will ar- rive.

Perhaps it is well that the children who prance gaily through their game of "Tom Tiddler's Ground" should be unaware of the unhappy story from which it has evolved.
Tom Mopes, familiarly known as Tom T'Idler (The Idler) was a subject more for fear than for jokes among his immediate neighbours,
Had he not murdered his lovely wife in a fit of jealousy and hereafter shut himself up In his lonely cottage? The rain rotted its beams: the wind broke the panes and tore off the thatch: weeds crept up through the neglected garden to its very walls, but Tiddler nursed his bitter memories un- heeding.
A passing traveller tried to. draw him out of this slough of despair, but Tom was not to be reclaimed. "When iron is thoroughly rotten you cannot botch it, do what you may!" he rejoined,
Childres were fearful of ap proaching this house of ugly rumour, all except the most venturesome who vied with one another in daring on to Tom's ground, and out of this has grown the familiar game. This story is told by Dickens in "A Christmas
