And saw how the elephant eats his

And listened to parrots who chat

A lonely bear paced up and down,
And the camel seemed too tired to

The rounded hump in the middle

The monkeys Skinned about with

And munched the peanuts handed
them.
But the strangest thing | saw at

Was a long-legged mamma kanga-

Her baby peered from a pouch she
had
In front of her for the little lad.
And the ostrich, too, was funny

With his handsome plumes and
his lofty height.

FLOODED IN MINUTES

When il rains in Singapore-or

Japan-the surface of the earth is
flooded in a matter of minutes and
every gully is tossing torrent.
Takeoffs and landings on the reg
ular airfelds are virtually impos-

subsidized. and at certain seasons
there may be dozen such
cloudbursts in one day.
But the rounded crust OF the

of the field rs possible for "a
hours of every day so far as rain
troubles are concerned.
- At that field when l was there

planes-Wiraways from Australia

That number. / am told in in

than doubled now and the British
believe that they would control
the air in any Oriental warfare.
The city of Singapore itself. on
The southern edge of the island,
seemed little concerned with the

because the preparations were
kept so secret and large zones
were closed 10 all civilians.
