Collections of War Trophies Made Throughout Two CenturleB of Strugglo Between Spaniard and Native Odd Conceits of Untutored Minds. From "Freedom," of Manila. There Is located In Manila a place that Is tho Mecca and delight of relic hunters. It contains everything con ceivable In the shape of crude weapons of warfare and is the one spot In the city for relics of seml-clvlllzatlon, somu of which show genius In the manner of Imitation. , The collection has been accumulating for over two centuries und there Is no part of It not represented by the arms typical of the tribe from which they j came. The collection has been se- , cured by force. When a tribe was conquered Its munitions of war were seized and brought to this Junk room for safe keeping. Pel haps the weapons universally used throughout the archipelago are the bolo and machete. There Is a stuck of thein that contains every de scription of the weapons made. There is the blg.awkward machete that looki ugly a weapon that Is largely utilize 1 among tho natives not only for fight ing, but for cutting cane. etc. AVIth It or the bolo a native can cut sufll clent bamboo to build his caso or per form any kind of architectural feat. He l handy with It, and Is a dangei -ous enemy at close quarters. There are possibly fifty different kinds of knives Included In the collection. Some aie more fancy than others nnd nrvs encased In handsome leather sheaths. They were usually worn by ofllcers an I are not so large or formidable as the bolos that the rank and file carried. A HAMUOO CANNON. Perhaps the most Interesting collec tion Is the building Is the bamboo and ghspipe cannon, mndf In limitation of tho artillery of the Europeans. It Is not likely that they ever did much damage to their oppressors with those engines of war, for they appear to be more capable of doing more execution to those operating them than to tho enemy. There is one kind made from one lo three Inch pipe, strongly secured to a stock of wood In a crude man ner. Some were bound with rattan cords. It Is not possible that tho Inventor ever Intended that there should be any recoil,, and consequently It was difficult for them to secure gun ners, ns that honorable position In the rebel artillery must have been very dangerous and unpleasant. There are some cannon made entirely of bamboo. Tho wood is bound to gether by Iron, in some Instances, and If this was not available wooden bands made out of bamboo or rattan were used. The sizes of those cannons rim all the way from two to six Inches. LAVA CANNON BALLS. Then tomes the lava cannon balls used. They are made of the lava of Volcanoes and when not nvntlnhlfv stones of nearly circular shape are used. Ther? nic none of them that would cause much commotion among the enemy.but thov represent the crude attempt of a people to combat the modern methods of their oppressors. The stands anil shelves are lined with every kind of old fashioned flint lock, used In early days, by the Span latds and afterwards fell Into tho hands of the natives. There aro also many Imitations of those, among which Is that of the flint. Instead of using flint the Improved gun of the natives had a small piece of grooved bamboo. Hy forcing a pointed stick made of bamboo up and down this groove, like the American Indian's method with pieces of fir, sparks will fly and com municate to the pan where the priming lays. The barrels of the guns made liv the natives were composed of gas pipe and the wood work was very crud". Tho sabres and swords In tho collec tion are all well tempered, although the most of them are poorly finished. There aro quite a number of old Span ish swords which they came by as they came by everything that Is use less. SPEARS. The spears are ull of the same make and aro possibly the most unique and creditable that the islands i,,!,, They are highly finished, the wood useu oeing euony. The Iron prongs are polished and have a very striking np pearance. The poles are about six feet long and It Is said that the warriors could use those weapons very dexter ously. The blow gun of the mountain tribes find a small place In the collection. There was a large collection at one time, but the demand for them was so great that they soon disappeared. There Is nlso In the collection a num ber of models that belonged to the ofllee of patents, that represent the crude attempts of the natives to in troduce labor-saving machines. There is the model of a rice grinder that Is very clever, and It Is said that the machine Is now In use In some parts of the Island. The other models are Im provements on derricks, cane grinders nnd a few machines for working Iron, They are all somewhat unique and In teresting, as they lepresent attempts " Waste Not, Want Not" Little leaks bring to want, and little impurities of the blood, if not attended to, bring a "Want" of health.
