ever had around these parts but we

Tales of the Town.

We heard one on Joe Meyer the
other day that is too good to keep.
Saturday afternoon a man got into
Joe's chair and Joe in his usual
CHEEKY manner asked him, Hair

little surprised and just a trife
nettled and about that time Joe
discovered that his patron wore a
wig. Very little conversation was
INDUCED in during the balance of
the operation.

The First Friction Matches.

The first really practicable friction
matches were made by an English
apothecary named Walker in 1927. He
coated splints of cardboard with sui
phur and tipped them with mixture
of sulphate Of antimony, chlorate OF
potash and gum. Each box, holding
eighty-four matches and sold for a
shilling, contained also a folded piece
Of glass paper, which was to be pressed
together while the match was drawn
through it. Three years later another
ingenious person named Jones in Lon
don patented the idea Of making a
small roll Of paper, soaked with chic
rate of potash and sugar at one end,
with a thin glass globule filed with
strong snlphuric acid attached at the
same point. When the sulphuric acid
was liberated by pinching the globule
It acted upon the chlorate Of potash
and sugar so as to produce fire.
