SEARCH FOR A MATCH MIXTURE
Which shall "Strike Anywhere" and
still Contain No Phosphorus.

New York. March 6.-Oficials of the
experiments which, it is thought, will rer-
feet "strike-anywhere" match $50 called
to distinguish it from the safety MATCH
which shall be free from the use of pics
phorus. These experiments, which many
think are about to reach successful re-
suits, have been being carried on for over
a quarter of a century. The chief de-
mand for such a match it is said, has
been felt in Europe, for in the modern
plants in this country, neatness, cleanli-
ness, and ventilation have reduced the
danger in the use of phosphorus to a
minimum.
The demand for the ike-anywhere'
match over the safety" it is pointed out
occasioned strenuous efforts to patent the
new article. The Safety contains no
phosphorus, and when it was first intro
duced on the market 1t was a novelty.
Many millions were sold and are still, but
as it is useless without a PREPARED sur
face on which to scratch II, the mate CHI is
not what the trade terms popular with
the general public.
MATCH said representative Of the trust
'are much larger than the safety match
and this makes the demand heavier for
them to the factories. Unfortunately, in
the crowded and poorly ventilated facto-
ries this necessitates the use of consider
able quantities of phosphorus. Phosphor-
us is a deadly poison, the free dissamina-
ton of which has led to many accidental
deaths, also numerous cases of willful
poisoning and suicide. The wor%men who
are exposed to phosphoric vapors are sub
ject to peculiarly distressing disease
which attacks the jaw, producing NEGRO
sis of the jaw-bone.
''It is for this reason that inventors and
chemists have been so active in their eff
forts to perfect something new in the
match line
Another authority on matches said:
THE chief element of the igniting mix
ture of ordinary matches is the common
phosphorus with one or more bodies, one
of which is chlorate of potash, which gives
the sharp explosive sound when struck.
The properties of the bodies in the mix
ture are a secret. They are made Il % a
paste with glue or gum a little fine sand
or powdered glass. The coloring !ngredi-
ent is usually cinnabar, magenta or Prus-
sian blue. 1t is said about 200 tons of
phosphorus are consumed each year in
Europe in the manufacture of matches,
and the larger part of this is used in
England. If the new igniting mixture is
a success it is quite safe to say that the
phosphorus industry will have a great
falling off in business"

.LENI IND IT'S ORIGIN
Word Is Anglo-Saxon and
Signifies Spring"
PAGAN RITES ASSlMILATED
in the Christian System, and
Lent Among Them.

Ash Wednesday, the first day Of the
penenentia1 season of Lent, is at hand.
The fashion of the world, though not con-
cerned about its religious significance,
recognizes in it the florists display of
cinerarias, the gorgeous Ash Wednesday
flower, with its ash-tipped leaves, and
in the unusual crowding Of social dis
fractions. In the southern countries the
wild reveIry of the carnival and the
feasting of the Mardi Gr-as reign supreme.
The early Christian fathers, wise in
their way and generation, found a place
for pagan customs in the church ritual,
and these, losing their original meaning
were adopted and read into sacred and
symbolic meanings. The Italian carni-
val-from the Latin "caro" (hesh) and
vale CfarewelD-"fare to the flesh
at one time began with the feast of the
Epiphany, twelve days after Christmas,
and confirmed until Ash Wednesday, a
period of about six weeks. Many of the
customs of this extraordinary time of un-
restrained sport and feasuing may be
traced directly to the pagan Lupercalia
and Bacchanalia of southern EnroDe
According to a paDal order the feasting
of the clergy began Two days before that
of the laity, probably to compensate for
the hours Of rigid fasting soon to come
with the Lenten season. The rich began
festivities on Three Kings day, or Epip-
hany, while the middle classes were al
lowed but one week and the poor but a
few days. Tuesday preceding Ash We'd
nesday was the greatest day of the carni-
val. Then all preparations for Lenten
fast were supposed to be completed, and
the liberty and license of unrestrained
feasting, disappearing and buffonery
were INDUCED to the utmost limit of the
law, only to come to an end when the last

penitence ana contrition of the long fast
before Easter.
