An exchange. writes as follows i
regard to q new cigar lighter: Stree
hawkers have lately taken to sellin,
q 'magic cigar lighter" which ma
do much mischief. Asevery studen
| knows, the affinity of sodium for oxy
gen is so great that it will take tn
coveted element from the water will
such rapidity as to cause it to burs
into flame. The new lighter is thiI
strip of sodium, fragment of which
when placed on the end Of a cigal
and touched with water, burns Will
great Yehemence. Few who buy the
lIttle walls of lighters are aware wha.
walls of wrath they may turn out tc
be if unskilfully handled The burn
ing sodium will make an ugly WOUND
If it comes in contact with the skin
which is likely to happen from th'
sputtering way it has. A sweat.
finger is enough to set the stuf
ablaze, or sweaty pocket, shoult
the cork of the bottle chance t.
come out. As the lighters are bough
chiefly by the Ignorant, who are takel
| by tine seeming miracle of producing
! fire by the direct action = water. /
/ is wonder that no serious accident
with tnem have been reported. Th'
traffic is not to be encouraged.
