yond doubt and it will be but short
time before active operations will begin.

Few people who use half box of
m itches day are supposed to think much
on the subject of their origin, and rest con-
tent with the fact that they exist. Fifty
years have not yet passed since the most
elementary match IN its present form was
invented, and IN Vienna, the other day
they celebrated the tittieth anniversary OF
their invention by three Austrians, to
whom, OF course, that honor is assigned. In
England, in 1892 matches had no. reached
their present shape, but ha Il onl reached
the stage of "luciiers." The modern gen
Grafton has lost sight of all these gradual
evolutions, and they are only known to
those who have the misfortune to be survi-
vors OF those benighted and uncnlightened
days.
In the time of Fox and Burke, and up to
the beginning of the present century, the
| flint and steel and finder stage had not
! been passed, though 1t is probable that DR..
| Johnson and Others were more skillful than
we muderns are at the intricate operation.
About the beginning ofthe present century,
however, matters began to improve, ana
| long birthstone matches came into use 10
supply the use Of the finder. These were
pieces OF WOOD about six incnes long. tipped
with sulphur. and caught fire easily from
the sparks OF the flint. 1t would be diili-

No museum seems to interest itself in
preserving these little social curiosities; and
1t is only some fifty years hence that they
will be looked upon as such and sought
alter in some technical exhibition OF the
match trade. IL was not, however, till 1925
that matters began to improve, when an
elaborate apparatus called the "Eupyrionn
came into use. This consisted of an open
bottle containing sulphuric acid, soaked in
tibrous asbestos, and the matches, which
we're about two inches long and sold at one
shilling box, were tipped with chemical
combination, Of which chlorate Of potash
was the principal ingredient.

Jefferson street, each one of whom was carrying

they gave their names as George and Anton
Gessler and John Schlies, and shortly after their
arrival the station, Mrs. Reintzell, keeper of
boarding house, ON Thirty-second, near NJ street,
identified them as three of her boarders, who lad
thrown their baggage out of n side window and
walked Of without paying their board. They
could be ascertained whether they had stolen
anything from the other boarders in the house.
