pales and Agencies should furnish the Authorities with full particulars of the insuring of properties in which fires 11 accarred, and thus possibly to afford rome idea as to how far Insurance and fres stand to each other in the relation of cause and effect. He definitely lays it down that the tendency of insuring is undoubtedly to give rise to incendiarism.' This shows that Mr Wodehouse is well aware of the connection betweon insurance and fires in Chinese houses, and if he forgot what he wrote in 1888 his experience at the Magistrocy should have provided him with many reminders. He must have remarked," as we have done, how- often a house goes on fire a few mouths after it is insured, how often the master has gone to Canton, how often the firs is caused by a lamp falling or exploding in the vicinity of the cockloft stairs.
