ANARCHY’S WEAPONS.

Bomb* Used In Pari* and in Barcelona Spain. Dynamite bombs are the weapons used by anarchists in their warfare on society. Of two notable bombs,

that used recently by Anarchist Vaillant in the French Chamber of Deputies, when over two score people were injured, and the bomb hurled by Jose Codina in Barcelona, Spain, when over a score of people in ttye Lyceum Theater were killed, we print illustrations. The Valliant bomb was merely a tin can charged with solutions of different acids. The interior contained nails, which, when the explosion occurred, were scattered through the building wounding many.

The bomb thrown in Barcelona was manufactured by Anarchist Sorasol, now under arrest, and was a good specimen of mechanical art. Among the extraordinary methods employed by the anarchists to • destroy those against whom their enmity is directed are canes and umbrellas that hold concealed in their handles a deadly bomb, quite small, it is true, but with sufficient power to destroy. The plan is to take the cane or umbrella into the theater, store, or stock exchange and lay it upon the floor or counter. The setting of it upright in its natural position will cause it to explode with fatal result. The explanation is that the head of the cane holds two glass vessels oblong in shape, and each tilled with an explosive liquid harmless in itself so long as it is kept away from the other. The cane is carried by the anarchist in perfect safety by being held horizontally. But when lifted

up and placed against the wall the fluid in the upper bottle runs into the lower, and the explosion takes place.
