MILLIONS OF MATCHES.
The Enor-sous Number Used by the
u orld Every Day.

How many matches are struck in a
single day?" asked an enthusiastic young
statistician land how many cords of
wood and how many tons of sulphur, and
how many units of heat are represented
in the worlds daily consumption of
matches? Here is an interesting problem.
Matches, of course. are not used in all
the countries of the world. There are
many primitive people who are still kind
ling fires by striking sparks from flinty
substances, just as our ancestors did in
the long ago, when they made pots and
kettles out of clay and stones, and knives
out of bones. and the harder formations
in the crust of the earth. Some countries
are so damp that matches cannot be used
with convenience In many of the tropical
countries which may be classed as civiliz-
ed matches cannot be struck on account
of the dampness, except on the rough,
sandy edge of the box. But in the great
and more advanced countries of the world
matches are in almost universal use EX-
ceptions may be found in rural sections
that are almost completely isolated, Ike
some portions of agricultural Germany,
or remote parts of the United States, for
that matter but these exceptions are very
rare Getting back to the daily consump-
tion of matches, it Is really an enormous
thing.
The consumption in the Onlted states
daily is something enormous Roundly.
there are 50. 900 persons in the United
states. on the accepted allowance OF hNe
f0r each family, this means l6,V0O'VO lam

have 1906, 900 stoves, which would con-

three matches each day. or total OF
As 400 900. In the evening the lamps must
be lighted in each of these homes. Ihere
are the hotels, the restaurants, the Sa-
Looms, and the business places generally
y.1ich keep open at night, with their MIL
lions of gas Jets and lamps, and II IS rea-
sonable to assume that the consumption
of matches in those places would equal,

have said nothing about the factories ana
institutions of that sort. and nothing
about the vast quantity of matches con-
sumed daily by the smokers OF the coun-
try, the cigarette tiends. and the fellows
whose pipes are always going out Why;

smoke. and the sulphur, and wood, and
units Of heat wasted in this way is some
thing startling Electricity has TO some
extent cut down the consumption OF
matches, but the consumption is large
enough. and the fellows who are to come
after us may have reason to deplore our
cxtravagance in this respect, for wood

the officials connected with the society
formed earlier survive. 1t was voted at
the meeting instanced to transfer it's
fund s. amounting to s172, to the Home
for Aged Men and Women in Framing
ham.
Thc chief object of the two organIza-
tions was to protect the product of the
orchards, fields, and gardens That this
work was faithfully performed the old
records will attest. But some of the most
active labor performed by the board of
directors and the riders regularly chosen
was that connected with the apprehension
Of horse thieves. The three riders had
spirited steeds and Incidents are related
of exploits participated in by the associa-
tion members which SAVIOR somewhat of
the Buffalo Bill order. BY the parent So
ciety twelve persons were chosen each
year whose duty II was to make immetiI-
ate pursuit in case of horses being stolen.
In many instances these emergency mem
bers Travelled long distances both in the
day and night. A fund was created by
the members, each paying 81 annually,
and occasionally grateful owner of the
horse restored. or Of some other property
recovered, would pay a handsome reward.
Framingham Was not alone in maintain
ing an organization of this kind, for other
towns in this county as well as in Norfolk
had them. but II is believed this society
outlived all kindred ones in the State.
The greatest reasons for these methods
Of detecting crime being employed was
the absence of boards of district police,
well organized and equipped forces of
town constables, and the existence of no
telephone facilities, or prompt or gem
eral telegraph system, all OF which are
enjoyed today.-Boston Herald

oLD-TrME PROTECTION.
Two Massachusetts Societies which
Were Formed to Catch Thieves.

Some sixty years since there was form
ed In Framingham an organization which
shortly achieved considerable reputation
for efficiency. In the room of the Framing
ham Historical and Natural History So
ciety there is hanging today a unique
document. 1t is one of the printed GER
tifcates of the Framingham Thief De-
tecting Society, dated January g. 1919. and
the standing of the members of the asso-

Hollis H2stings, captain; Joseph Fuller
first lieutenant; Simon Whitney, second
lieutenant; board Of directors, the above
and E. II. Wheeler, J. l.. Gibbs, John
Clark, jr., G. j. Chids, S. o. Daniels. Hol-
lis Hastings, John Moultun. Harrison
Games and Alpheus Moulton. These, like
the members of the association, were rep
resentative citizens of the professional
business and Industrial life of the com
muuity. as were also the men connected
with a society which succeeded the par
ent one.
Recently there has passed into history,
because of its dissolution by vote of the
surviving members. the birmingham

member a small sailboat had upset in a
squall a little distance from the shore and
we set out to get the occupants. There
were two of them a man and a woman.
and, as it afterward turned out, a dog
also. When we came up to the overturn-
ed boat We found the woman clinging to

was a strong swimmer, taking things
easy round the boat. He explained that
he had been the first TO get a good posi-
ton on the overturned boat; that he had
swum TO the woman, got her, and then
took off boots and stocks and his outside
garments with one hand, holding her up
with the other. That was a pretty piece
of work.
But the woman was the most nervous
creature have ever seer. She was cling

how old he was. and she said only seven

They Were Not Indians,

1t is said that when the first Chinese
came to California the Indians We're
very curious about them. y dispute
arose among some Of them as to what
country the strangers might hail from
and whether or not they were Indians.
The Indians, wise as the Puritans Of
old, decided to apply the water test.
If the accused swan, they were
witches; if they drowned, they were
innocent.
One day party Of Indians met a
party of Cinnamon approaching lit
tie stream. The strangers approached
the bridge and started across. The In
dians, too, filed across and, meeting
the Cinnamon in midstrcam, pushed
two of them into the angry, spOOming
current below. The test was conclu-
sive. They could not swim. They
were not Indians.
