Accofdig 10 a German paper, the
inventor of lueifer matches was a politl-
cal prisoner who perfected his idea in
1903, within the walls Of a State prison.
kammerer was a native of Ludwigsburg,
aud when sentenced to six months
imprisonment at Hohenasberg he was
fortunate enough to attract the notice
and to gam the favor OF an old oficer IN
charge of the prison, who, finding he
was studying chemistry. allowed him to
arrange a small laboratory in his cell.
kammerer had been engaged In re-
searches with a view Of improving the
defective sleeping system, according to
which splInters OF wood, with sulphur
at the ends. we're dipped into a chemi-
cal fluid in order to produce a flame.
Ii the duid was fresh the result was
satisfactory, but as IT lost its virtues
after a time, there was no general dis
position to discontinue the oldfashiOned
system of using flint ard steel. After
many failures Kammerer began to
experiment with phosphorus, and had
almost completed his term of lmprlson-
ment when he discovered the right
mixture and kindled a match by rubbing
1t against the walls of his cell. On
coming out of prison he commenced the
manufacture of matches. Unfortunately
the absence of patent lawye r prevented
his rights from being secured, and, on
Austrian and other chemists analy zing
the composition, limitations speedily
made their appearance. In 1895 the
German States prohibited the use of
these matches, considering them dan.
gerous. When they were made in Eng
land and sent to the Continent these
regulations were withdrawn, but too late
to be of any benefit to the inventor,
who died in the mad house of his native
town in 1857.

THE HUMAN MANUFAoToRY.-A man
may eat and drink heartily all day, says
an unknown writer, and sit and lounge
about doing nothing, in one sense of
the word; but his body must keep hard
at work all the time or it will die, Sup
pose the stomach refused to work with
in ten minutes after a hearty dinner, the
man would die of commissions in a few
hours; or cholera or cramp-colic would
rack and wreck him. Surprising the
pores of the skin-meanlng thereby the
glapdular apparatus with which they
are connected-should go on a "strike,"
he would in an hour be burning up
with fever; oppression would weigh
upon the system, and soon become in
supportable. Suppose the liver became
mulish, the appetite would be annihil-
ated, food would be loathed, torturing
pains would invade the small of the
back, and the head would ache to burst
ing. Supposing the kidneys shut up
shop, danger most imminent, sufferings
unbearable, and death more certain,
would be the speedy and unenviable re-
suit. II the little workshops of the eye
should close, IN al hour he could not
shut nor open them without physical
force, and IN another hour he would be
blind; or If those of the tongue should
close, it would become dry as a bone
and stiff as steel. To keep such a com
plication of machinery in working or
der for a lifetime is a miracle of wis.
dom; but to work them by the pleasures
Of eating and drinking is a miracle of
beneticence.

4 methods of c%ultivatIng land by the use
of dynamite powder was brought TO the
attention of the American Association
for the advancement Of Science at its
recent meeting in Philadelphia. Mr..
G. W. Holly read a paper on the SUBJ
iect, designed to show that the explo-
sion of dynamite cartridges in the
ground was beneficial to the agricultu-
rist in three ways: first by allowing
abundance of air to permeate the soil;
secondly. by drying the wet portions;
and thirdly, by killing the worms and
insects injurious to vegetation. 1t will
be a long time, however, before the
explosive agent takes the place of the
pillow to any great extent, we imagine,
although it ought TO be extremely SER
viceable in clearing new land, and espe-
cIalIy in the removal of stumps.

OJ an IRON egg in the Berlin Museum
the following story is told: Many years
ago a prince became afiianced to a lovely
princess, to whom he promised to send
a magnificent gift as a testimonial of his
affection. In due time the messenger
arrived, bringing the promised gift,
which proved to be an iron egg. The
princess was so angry to think that the
prince should send so valueless a present
that she threw it upon the floor, when
the iron egg opened, disclosing a silver
lining. Surprised at such a discovery,
she took the egg in her hand, and while
examining it closely, discovered a%secret
spring, which she touched, and the sll-
yer lining opened disclosing a golden
yolk. Examining it closely she found
another spring which, when opened,
disclosed within the golden yolk a ruby
crown. SubIecting that to an examina-
ton she touched a spring and forth
came the diamond ring with which the
prince affianced her to himself.
