THE government at Quito, he de-
clared, had trampled on the liberties
of the country, and therefore had no
right to send up fireworks to celebrate
the glorious age of Bolivar. 1t was
he, upon whom the mantle of Bolivar
had fallen, who would send them up
and thus celebrate the great victories

in to do things to the government.

had to be locally manufactured.

to India. Big firework displays are
OFTEN given there, not only by the Brit
lsh government but also by the native
princes, who are mostly wealthy and
always fond of burning up their money
with the greatest possible dispatch.
There was one conservative old ma
haraJah in Rajputana who had never
seen fireworks display in his life.
Like most Rajput chiefs, he was in
tensely proud and seldom travelled be-
yond his own domains. for fear he
would not be treated with proper re-
spect by the outside world.
AT last some of his cOurtiers per-
suaded him that it was due to his dig
nifty to have a pyrOtechnic display ut
least equal to those given by his
brother princes. l was in Calcutta at
the time, attending to a government
display, and the maharaia h's agent in
that city made it worth my while to
