Origin of the Match,

Romer, Preschel, and Irinyi are variously
named as inventors of PHOSPHORUS matches.
From the testimony of still living college
friend it appears that the real inventor is the
Hungarian. James Irinyl. 1t was in 1895,
when the latter. then nineteen years old and
a student at the Polytechnic School in VI
emma, attended Prof. Meissner's lectures on
chemistry. he became greatly impressed by
a demonstration of the reaction produced on
rubbing together peroxide of lead and sui
phur. 1t struck him at once that the reac-
ton may be greatly intensified when substi-
tuting phosphorus for sulphur. lrinyi was
not to be seen at the college for the next few
days. His friend, wishing to see him. called
at his rooms, but found the door locked.
On joining his friends Irinyi had his pock-
cts full of matches. which he struck on the
walls, all Of them taking fire. He prepared
them by melting PHOSPHORUS in a concen-
trated solution Of glue and shaking until the
mass became cold and all the PHOSPHORUS
assumed finely divided state. This emul-
sion was mixed with brown peroxide of lead
and sticks previously dipped in molten sui
phur were immersed in the mixture He sold
his invention, 1t is recorded, to a merchant
named Romer for about f700.-Invention.
