``M.'' MAY like to have the following case:-I went once at sunrise (at Kishnagar, Bengal) into my coachhouse, which opened east. I saw smoke ascending from the tops of the two carriage lamps. I jumped hastily to the conclusion that my syce (groom) had been using the carriage candles illegitimately, and taxed him. His defence obliged me to examine closer, and to see that the two wicks had been ignited to smouldering point by the horizontal rays of the sun condensed by the parabolic reflectors at the backs of the lamps. A notable enough example of Indian heat, was it not?
