How Matches Wara FIRST Made

1t was in 1905 that the notion of chemi-
cal matches was first conceived. In that
year a French professor introduced for
the purpose q SMALL settle of asbestos,
saturated with strong s%ulphuric acid. into
which little sticks OF wood, coated with
sulphur and tipped with a mixture Of
chlorate of potash and sugar were to be
introduced when a light was wanted.
When the wooden splint thus prepared
was brought In contact with the acid In
the bottle, ignition followed.
In the amt year matches tipped with
Jumps OF phosphorus seem to have been
known, put they caught tire loo readily

A SANITARY POINT.

From the NelCurk Evening Ne,cs.
The nature of Asiatic cholera, and the
method of its progauation, are we'll un-
derstood. The microscope of the bacter-
iologist has traced u%nerringly the subtle
destroyer, has discovered tie means by
which it Is propagated. the method by
which 1t grows, the manner in which it
1nvades the human system and under
mines the citadels of life.
1t is the discharges from a cholera pa
tient which carry infection. The so-called
comma bacillus, continually multiplying
its heFmaphredite existence, gains harm
full entrance to the human body with food
or drink through the alimentary canal.
and unless the gastric juice of the stomach
be SO strongly acid as TO destroy it. multi
plies still and brings agony and death TO
the sufferer. This is but q hasty and
crada statement, of course, but 1t en-
bodies IN a few words the result OF the
long aud laborious investigations of the
scientists.
Certain agencies destroy these germs
others assist in their propagation. Water
conIamlnated oy sewage is their most
congenfal feeding place. In such water
they thrive and multioly. The Passaic
River, defiled as it is today, would be a
veritable preserve for them.
1t is no exaggeration to say that the de-
lecture of a single cholera pate MT enter
ing the river at Passaic might declmate
Jersey City or q other town drawing its
water supply from the sewage-polluted
stream. Any u who bathed in the river
who used its water for any purpose, who
even dipped his hands into 1t, might
incur the same peril. 1t is to be hoped
that from such a visitation the towns be-
pendant upon the stream will be spared.
but It's possibility illustrates anew the
danger. the folly and the crime of max
ing such a river answer the purposes Of
an open sower. 1t shows, too, the price
less advantage that the city of Newark
has gained from the securing of a water
supply in which such germs wuld not live.
and to which their Introduction is the
most remote of possibilities.

The Swiss c%antonal governments in the

the edelweiss from the raids of poachers.
In all these cantons the gathering of the
plant by the stalk is lawful, but they all
nave a law prohibiting the plucking up Of
edelweiss by the roots, a practise which
has already rendered it extinct in several
places. The government Of Schwyz. as

from ct. to 40f. upon transgressers. The

The first week in April is apt to be very in
teresting in presidential election year. Mu-
nicipal elections occur today in Hartford, Conn,
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Ohio, and in
Milwaukee, Wis. State conventions will meet
as follows: Oregon. republican. on Wednesday;
Arkansas, republican, on Thursday; Massachu-
setts, democratic, on Friday. Only the first
named Of these will do more than nominate
delegates at large to the respective national
conventions. and that one will nominate also q
governor and two Congressman. The latter
nominations are to carry out the new appo--
tionment act
The important political event Of the week is
the state election on Wednesday in Rhode
Island The public interest over the
result increases the day draws near.
Probably no election ever held in the state
since the times of the Dorr rebellion has ex-
cited such intense feeling within the borders
or such widespread interest beyond them. 1t
is not simply because the protection leader in
the Senate is up for reelection not chiefly that
the democrats are rendered more hopeful or
powerful since the extension of the electoral
franchise, not wholly for the reason that the
two parties arrayed on tariff lines that
affect state policy and the private industry Of
the people Nor is il due alone to the coincidence
Of Mr.. Cleveland's candidacy with the leading
issue before the public in the little state. To
all these causes is the anxiety Of partisans due
Before 1889 the republican maiorIties ranged
between 4.439 and $3.50. In that year
the new suffrage law giving to naturalized
voters the benefits of free suffrage, without
regard to the amount OF real estate they
owned, went into effect and thenceforward
the democrats piuralIties mp to and including
1891 were steady. although small In a total
vote Of AZ 600 to As, 600 the plurality has ranged
from sos TO 1,254 According to the census Of
1880 the population was 3i5, SOC. The excess of
female over male population and the large
number Of unnaturalized foreigners will re-
duce the voting ratio to something like six and
half Of population to a voter. This would
give about 1000 OF this number some thou
sands will not vote. The chances seem 10 be
slightly in favor Of the republicans The
course Of the Providence Journal the leading
newspaper, will influence the independents to
support the republican ticket and besides this
the bringing out Of a full vote and the fact that
IL is . presidential year are relied upon to in
crease the vote Of tina, ticket.
