Exeter Advocate, 1906-11-8, Page 7WHERE BOMBS ARE MADE :LONDON POLIGE Am SEARCHING FOR A SE'CRET FACTORY. About 10,000 Iteds in the Metropolis -- How They Secretly Pre- pare for Work. There are probably. 10,000 Anarchists. --reSolute, uncompromising enemies of Tule-in London to -day. No .other opt - lin in the world has suelt an aggrega- tion of scoundrels, Continental nations, with the possible exception of Switzer- land, will not tolerate them, writes Vin - .cent Wray in theLondon Express, "An Anarchist is a madman.' That is the Opinion of Mr. Sohn Sweeney) who for tireless years egaged such war .ns the law perinits in our tight little island upon bomb makers and bomb throwers. There is nothing picturesque about the personality of the Anarchist. Ile is not the raven -locked, melancholy eyed, .swarthy -skinned , creature 'of the popu- lar fancy, and the novelist's eonceit. He is just simply a madman, and a mad- man of the most dangeroueetand revolt.- eng type. mere are few Englishmen 'who associate themselves with aggres- sive anarchism, The majority are Ital- ians; =no are French, Spanish, Ger- man and Armenian. It is a remarkable fact that the most •eloquent and proliflo speakers at anar- chist conneils are 'themselves the least to be feared. The tongue is an excel- lent safety valve. The sayer is rarely 'himself the doer. It is the gloomy, si- lent, morose man who strikes. He is the .tool of the glib -tongued orator. Early in the September of 1901, a wo- man declaimed vehemently in New York -against the sins of Governers and poured invectives upon royal heads. A mild - ...eyed youth listened with anger that was sharply fanned by this whirlwind of , abuse into hotter and unquenchable fire. Leon Czolgosz went from the meet- ing with murder in his heart. A few -.days later William McKinley, President ..ofethe United Slates, was assassinated by this same Czolgosz. • "Silence these speakers," says Mr. Sweeney, "and you have dealt a .stag- gering blow at Anarchy. I would make it a patent offence foe ,anyone to pro- claim himself on Anarchist or to preach Anarchism. Till you do this, and till you do treat your Anarchist -as a dan- .gerous and irresponsible fellow, no measures can insure tlie safety -of royal - Ly and other highly- placed personages." The work of these madmen is con- stantly going on. Some of them are under the lynx eyes of a Scotland 'Yard man. Others have managed to keep • their secret, and it will only be known when a terrible catastrophe startles the 'world. HOME OF SEDITION, In one of the by-strcet's of Est Lon - is a little stationer's shdp. It looks innocent enough. The neighbors can uy.. their newspapers there or their notepaper or their bottle of ink. Little does the passer-by suspect .that under the boards on which he -stands, to be served a small hand print- ing press is silently throwing off reams tof seditious literature in every Conti- nental language. Yet it is so, and, what ,is more, the police know of it and are powerless to interfere. It has been stated that bombs are not made in England. This, unfortunately, Is not true. Scotland Yard is even now searching for a secret factory, the exis- tence of which has been more than sus- pected. It is likely that a group of men, busily engaged in filling iron cartridges with picric acid and fitting on fulminate „of mercury detonators, will one day be -surprised in the midst of their deadly work. The police are active and untiring; but they .are handicapped by the weak; mess of the law. When they suspect that treasonable intrigue 1.s on the way and *wish to keep .in touch with the move- ments of aggressive Anarchists., they leave to make irregular entry on a flimsy and. convenient pretext. It was by some Such means that the vh�le- ale of bombs at Walsall was discovered. . The raid on these surreptitious work- ers eves made under the 'direction of Mr. Sweeney, who secured the convietiop of four or five desperate men, who after- wards,. served long terfns of penal servi- etude. An expert in explosives told me that 'Anarchists obtain posts in British ex- plosive works. • They are thus able to gectire entrance into the "danger zones," and there are able tosee some of the processes of manufacture.' "There are' several methods of mak- :trig bombs," he said. "Once nitro-gly- Cerine was used exclusivelyas, a charge. A mixture of nitric acid, Sul- phuric acid and glycerine makes a strong explosive, and when combined with wood fibre it is fairly safe. But There is always the danger of coneys- ' sion and of ,explosion at high tempera- ture. "Thehigh explosive generally used by Anarchists is picric acid. This is the principal ingredient of the English lyd- dile and the French mantle. It is also Used in the menufactuee of the Japanese shimese, Which was so .effective dur- ing the Russo-Japanese War. .Picric acid is a yellow crystal, and is a con stituent of several dyes. It can eesily be obtained and carried' in an ordinary bottle. "There are also compounds of am- monia, Which, however,ere very vole - tile and difficult to keep in condition. "In ally ease, a very Small vessel is neeessary for a bomb. Some that were need in St. Petersburg.. were the size .of an ordinary ink bottle." • ACTION NEEDED'. "SOMething wilt have to be done to subdue these maniacs," said Mr. Sweeney, when discussing the matter the other dny. "A declaration of Anar- chical creed should be regarded as a crime, and the propagation of Anarchi- cal doetrMeS sheuld be nunishable by law. When 1 fIrst expressed thle view 1 Otte expected ihimtrny werde,Would be as though circumstancee are herrying matters on. "Anarchists are a constant end dead- ly .menaoe. What precaution, for in- etence," Mr, Sweeney walked over. to the windew ''of his office, and waved a Mind An the direetion of the street, "could prevent a. man who had Made hie way into this room flinging a bomb into the street? "'rho public gatherings of eenarchiste in Hyde Park are responSiblo fOr much. The epeakers inflame the listening crowds, and one of their number, with ill-informed judgment, goesforth to execute heettly-conceived designs. • '"Anerehists are not drawn from the better classes. Some of them are half educated. The majority of them are tho. scum and refese of the Continent. They do not work; they do exact money from ,anthusiastic people who are dissatisfied with the existing order of things. Will not something be done now?" FIRE CURE FOR DISEASE - Burning et Perfumes Has a Distinctive Curative Effect. The latest panacea is to be Lound in the chimney corner, says' The London Daily Express. Physicians are recommending aroma - tie Woods and fragrant peat, which, when thrown on the fire, send up a healing smoke. A. tirm in Queen's road, Bayswater, is exhibiting 'these novelties for the grate. Mossy slabs 'ot peat are stacked in the shop .windows, and are considered an excellent fuel for lung coinplaints Picture postcards of peat can be sent to a friend suffering from asthma. The postcard is read and burnt, and the sufferer draws his chair up beside the grate to inhale the medi- cal odor, . AROMATIC FIRE -LIGHTERS, cut in trellis fashion,are steeped 1 tur- pentine, and their warm glow and balmy fumes will relieve aegasping bronchial patient. • • Fire revivers are an antiseptic and will keep away influenza. They are in the shape of small bricks, and will revive o dying fire and perfume the whole house. Pine logs send out a tonic vapor, oak and elm are stimulating, sandal wood will relieve a nervous headache. Tiny blocks of wood', steeped in eu- calyptus oil, are recommended for a bad cold. Lavender water pellets or eau de Cologne globules, sizzling merrily en the hob, will ,freshen up the overtired visi- tor, while a few drops of attar at vio- lets on a hot shovel will cure insomnia and peoduce refreshing sleep. A teaspoonful of ammonia, added to a saucepan of boiling water, will revive It fainting patient. It has even been sug- gested by a well-known specialist that a tablespoonful of tea thrown' in the kettle and inhaled will benefit, the weary htiusewite Mr more than if she sipped _HER FAVORITE BEVERAGE.

"A little scent sprinkled on a block of wood will save a woman from many an acute attack of neuralgia or congested headache." amr.+*.11 TIPS IN JAPAN. ' .There the Innkeeper Is Not Forgotten 'When the Guest Goes. "If our shotelkeepers should ever be told of the Japanese method of tipping we would • all have to take to the woods," said a Far Eastern traveller. "In a Japanese hotel you give the pro- prietor the biggest Up of all when leav- ing and grade the other •tips accord- ingly: ' • • . ' "When your bill is handed to, you it is customary to wrap up in a separate piece of paper an 'amount approximat- ing aboul one-Ilfth of the whole account and give that to the worthy innkeeper, together with the regular amount re- quired of you by his account, which you enclise in the folded bill. Then you wrap up smaller' sums in smaller pieces of paper and parcel these Christmas packages out among the servants who have waited on you. "This tM to the boniface is called diode', or tea money, and the Japanese explain its usage- atter this manner of _ • reasoning. "All hotel charges in Japan are forced by law lobe very low, so that even the very. poor man. who finds himself on the road at night can get fond and shel.- ter for a nominal sum. The rich man has to etay no more than the beggar. "Since the hotel .man could not make O living if this order of things vore al- lowed to exist, without some saving grace, some i?ecompense must be made to the hotelkeeper for his enforced gen- erosity. Therefore, if a guest can well afford to give the host something more han he asks, he not only provides' for ess fortunate than himself, but he fends himself' against the evil day when he may have to 'ask a beggar's board and Jed. It is not chavity to the innkeeper, but merely provision against pos.sible lard times.

The term agreed upon is generally from three to five years. Besides her wages, she is en- titled to presents twice a year, and a certain number of holidays. When she is called home to be mar- ried, she must go. The services of her family are also at the disposal of her employers, and her •family expect to provide at intervals gifts of vegetables, fruits, and other country products. This is not a return for the gifts to the girl, but for the practical education she gets, end the care of her as a tempor- arily adopted. child of the 'household. The em.ployers in their turn are expect- ed to contribute to the girl's wedding- -outfit. Miss Howe, a returned missionary from Japan has been giving a series of talks to the women's clubs of America on "Japan, From a Besidentes View- point."

CONCERNING THE RELENT wAn: "Shortly .after the preparations for war with IltiSsia had been made," she said, "the little Japanese Boys began singing the sweetest `lullaby -like song I have ever heard. That song was heard every- where, and remembering our own fond- ness for popular airs, I ventured to ask• what this exquisite, crooning little 'husb-my-child' time might be. 0 was 'Bring your warships over here, and we'll smash 'em!'" • In education, aS in' some Sther ways, the East is topsy-turvy land from the Eastern point of view; although, of course, to their Vision it is we Western- ers who rem upside down. Young Japanese children enjoy more liberty than Western children. They are permitted to do as they please, pro- vided their 'conduct is not actually harmful.

There is an old story of a simple Highland lass who had walked •to Glas- gow to join her sister in service.. On reaching el toll -bar on the skirt of the city, she began to rap smartly with (ler knuckles on the gate; 'The toll -keeper came out to see what .-she wanted, ."Please, sir, is this Glasgow?" She in- quired. "Yes this is Glasgow." "Please," Said the gir), "is Peggy in?" The au- thor of National Humor" gives another anecdote of Highland .simplicity: A Highlander who lived not very far from Balmoral sent two beautiful col- lies as a present to Queen Victoria, who knew him ,well, having often driven pest bus house, and onoe or twice stop- ped to speak to him and his wife. The 'queen not only accepted the col:. lies, but told the donor that if he ever Lound his way to London when She was at Windsor, he was to call and see her. As it happened, he had to go to London soon after. So he went and asked for John Brown, whom he knew, and who had heard what the queen had said to him. John Brown let the geteeh know that her Highland friend of the collies was le waiting, and was told to bring him in. He took care to post him In the eti- quette to be observed; told him not to sleek until the queen spoke to him, and to be sure always to say "mutant:" The Highlander was then uabered tri- te the presence of the queen, who re- ceived him kindly, and asked about his family. But when she began to 'praise the collig and say what favorites they had become, and how kind it was of him to send them to her, the delighted mountaineer forgot his instructions, and exclaimed, heartily, "Toot,s, wummant What's ttersa collies atween, you and • REAL CITY OF THE 'MAW -- Indian Graveyard at Hazellon, B. .C., Most Interesting.

Successful experiments with a new type of flying machine worked by a two horse-powermotor have been made at Liseaux, France, by the. inventor, M. Cornu,' and -his son. The inventor's have been working in secret on the machine for sonic years. Their • apparatus consists of two helices, two and a half yards in diame- ter, which turn in different directions. The body is made of sleet tube one and O half 'inches in diameter, hound with wires. The helices and (he aerial planes are made of linen stretched across fine steel stays. The motor is fixed horizon- tally in order to lesson the vibration.
