The Matches Inventor

In Vienna controversy has arisen a
to who l. the inventor of the phosphorus
match. The famous chemist, T. Jensen,
settles the dispute by relating the fol-
lowing story ofthe Hungarian inventor,
Janos Irinyi:
at was in 1895 when Irinyi, then 10
wears old and "a student at the Poly
technicum of Vienna, attended Profes-
sor Meissner's lectures on chemistry.
He became greatly interested in a
demonstration of the reaction produced
upon peroxyde of lead and sulphur be
ing rubbed together. He Immediately
concluded that the reaction must he con-
siderablv intensified by Substituting
phosphorus for sulphur. The next few
DAYS Irinyi did not attend the lectures
l was anxious about him, aud, wishing
10 find out if he was sick, | called at his
room, but found the door locked, and
upon giving my name he said:
''Get out, You Dutchman | am work
ing on an invention We saw him a
few days later, and he joined us glee-
fully, showing lis his pockets full of
matches, which he struck on the wall,
everyone of them taking fire. His pro-
ceeding was very simple. He melted
phosphorus in concentrated solution
of glue, shaking il tuntil the phosphorus
had been divided into small particles
and assimilated with the glue This
paste he mixed with brown peroxyde
Of lead and the matchsticks, first inn
mersed in molten sulphur, were then
dipped into the paste. \ merchant
named Roemer, whose finn still exists
on the Seilerstatte, bought the inven-
ton of Irinyi for about 5000 tiorins
(S3500). Irinyi is still living at
Peterwardein, in the south of Hungary.

BOSTON, Nov. 23.-The Boston Traveller
today prints an interview with Senator F. Z.
Warren of Wyoming on the possibilities of
presidential candidates. He says that al
though Reed and Mckinley are generally
named for the presidency, Allison will make
very strong showing. "They are all very
masterful men and they are all very popu-
lar" said the senator. Mr. Reed is a New
Englander to the backbone, and it Is only
natural that the people of New England
should be with him as a unit. Governor Nc
Knley is the pride of the people OF the inter-
western states. His defense of the protective
tariff gives him an immense following, while
his clear executive ability covers him with
particular favor everywhere; and Mr.. Allison
has great strength out Iowa way. Indeed,
might say that he is the great drawing card
in and about the Rocky mountain states. So
you see We have three great champions In
the field, any one of whom would fill the
presidential chair with credit"
