Wanted in England of the PROPOSED
New Colombian Loan. =.
.sMTA

London, Nov. 21.-Foreign : Sec.
Lansdowne has requested the council
Of the foreign bondholders to supply
further details of the Colombian loan.
When drawn up these will be forward
ed to Ambassador Durand and pre-'
scented at Washington for the purpose
of urging the rights of British bond
holders i'm connection with the repub-
lie of Panama. =,
From the council The Associated
Press secured the following: T$N
I'm regard to the reported statement
of the Panama commissioners that
Panama declines responsibility for the
Colombian debt on the ground that
when the greater part of the money
was borrowed Panama was mot in-
cluded in Colombia, the facts appear
as follows:
Panama declared its independence
of Spain, Nov. 2S, 1921, and in the SOL
emn declaration of the revolutionary
junta stated that the territory of the
isthmus belonged to the republican,
state of Colombia, to the Congress
whereof it would, in due course. send
it's deputy. The war with Spain con-
tinued for some time thereafter and
in 1922 Colombia issued an external
loan of 10000 6oe.sthe greater part of
which was to be slfvoted to prosecut-'
ing the war of independence. In 1924
Colombia issued farther loan of $23, =
100000 for the same purpose. 1t would
be surprising if Panama attempted 10
repudiafe responsibility for the money
which assisted her to become part of Il
free state"
The foregoing is the gist of a lengthy
statement which will be forwarded to
the British embassy at Washington.

The Lucifer Match.

It is to MT. Isaac Holden, member of parliament, that we owe the invention of the lucifer match. This discovery was, he himself has told us, the result of a happy thought. ''In the morning used to get up at o'clock in order to pursue my studies, and used at that time the flint and steel, the use Of which I found very great inconveii- fence. Of course knew, as other chemists did, the explosive material that was necessary in order to produce instantaneous light, but it was very difficult to obtain a light on wood by that explosive material, and the idea occurred to me to put sulphur under the explosive mixture. I did that and showed 1t in my next lecture on chem istry, course of which was deliver ing at large academy.
 : "There was" added MT Holden, n young man in the room whose father was chemist in London, and he i'm mediately wrote, to his father about it. and shortly afterward lucifer matches were issued to the world. believe thatiwas the first occasion that we had the present lucifer match. was urged to go and take out patent immediate ly, but thought 1t was so small mat ter and 1t cost me so little labor that J did not think it proper to go and get a patent; otherwise I have no doubt it would have been very profitable"
