Broadway. for, obviously. he knows how
to stroll off into the distance, and, look

rational sort of perspective. He will re-
ioice in Broadway. but he will not take
ii too seriously.
There is history in this book, but only
just enough to serve the purposes of an
impressionist humorously inclined. we
have noticed a few dates here ana there

ARROWS THAI CARRY FLAME
Method of Starting Fires In Which.
Mlscreant Can Escape Without
Detection.

Arrows bearing a box of matches
and an ignited cloth, and which are
shot from rice fields and dark alleys,
are now known to be the means by
which the f1rebugs responsible for sew
eral CONGREGATIONS during the last
week have accomplished their aims.
A strange feature of the present cpl
demic Of incendiarism in Manila has
been the utter inability of anyone to-
catch the firebugs in the act Of firing
houses, and although the police and
private citizens have been on the look
out for these vandals only one CHARGE
of arson has been filed SO far.
The police had a theory the work
was done with arrows and that their
theory was correct was proved by the
discovery yesterday afternoon Of anil
arrow which had been shot at 241l
Gale ~Singalong. The arrow was about,
81 inches long and about n centi-t
meter In diameter.
To 1t was tied a full box of matches
wrapped with a piece Of canvas which
had been saturated with petroleum.
The arrow was designed so that being
in the bow, or when ready to be
thrown, the canvas was ignited and
the arNow hurled at the house intend
ed for destruction. By the time it
reached its destination the cloth would
be burned sufficiently to ignite the
matches and an explosion would oc-
cur, setting fire to the surrounding
nipa or bamboo. Standing off at a
convenient distance in a paddy field
or a dark street the m~iscreant would
be able to ignite and fire his arrow
and then escape without detection

the fact that she stopped in the mid

about the affair on the condition that

Her lawyer and the assistant district
attorney had agreed to this, and she
took the stand to confess her part in
the crime. Even Judge O'Sullivan
asked her if she was ready to confess
and she answered in the affirmative.
But a moment later her face turned
white and her black eyes grew fixed

suddenly frightened her into dumb.

placed her hand before her face as

vision.
