MATCHES USED IN A DAY.
Sum Total SO Enormous That II Is
Hardly ComputabIe.

How many matches are struck in n
single day." asked an enthusiastic
young statistieian. and 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 coun-
tries of the world There are many
primitive peoples who are still kin
Hing fires by striking sparks from
flinty substances. just as our ances-
tors 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 can NJ he used
with convenience. In many of the trop-
ical countries which may he classed as
civilized. matches can not 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. Exceptions may
be found in rural sections that are al
most completely isolated, like 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
consumption of matches, 1t is really
an enormous thing. The consumption
in the United States daily is something
enormous. Roundly there are 10000
900 persons in the United States. On
the accepted allowance of five for
each family this means 10000 fam
lilies. so right on the jump we would
have 16,000.O00 stoves which would
consume at the very lowest an aver
age of three matches each and every
day, or a total of iS,000,000. In the
evening the lamps must be lighted In
each OF these hcmes. Then there are
the hotels, the restaurants, the saloons
and the business places generally
which keep open at night, with thei'
| millions OF gas jets and lamps, and Il

sumption of matches in these place.

consumption in the homes of th'
country. Mind you. | have said moth
ing about the factories and institu
tions of that sort, and nothing abou
the vast quantity OF matches con
sumed daily by the smokers of thu

fellows whose pipes are always goinl

matches smoke, and the sulphur. ant

way is something startling"
