WORLDS OLDEST INDUSTRY.
Manufacture Of Gun Flints-Still
Used In Africa and Asia.


Used in Africa and Asia.
Probably the Oldest established busl-
ness in the world is at Brandon, IN SUI
folk. where the manufacture OF gun
fints has been carried on as the sue
cessor to the prehistoric manufacture
of arrow heads from the same male
rial. It Is estimated that for more than
ten thousand years flint working has
been carried on at that spot; the oaly
change made since those early days be-
ing in the introduction Of metal tools
for working the fints in place OF toe
stone and horn OF the average.
Gun fints are still in use IN various
parts of Asia and Africa, where tne
possession of percussion cartridges Is
forbidden to the natives. Tne average
weekly production is still 10000,
though in the days when the hlnt lock
WAS the universal arm millions were
turned out weekly. since Brandon IS
noted as producing the best tln1s mace.
Gun hints are not the only product
however, for in Latin Europe the:
"strike-a-light" is still given the pref
erence over matches, and OF these about
twenty thousand week are manu1ac-
tured for the Italian and Spanish trace.
During the Boer war $4,000 fints were
issued to the British troops and were
found valuable il emergencies where
the ordinary match would not have
served.
The strata Of flint ara in FIVE layers
on Liugheath Common, mile south
east of the village. Each miner works
BY himself, employing the same meth
DDS as were followed by the earlier
workmen, the ground being uncovered
In layers OF steps," that the dirt may
be carried away without the use OF
vindlass and buckets.
The product is sold to the clippers,
who work at their homes in the village.
In spite Of the fact that each blow OF
the hammer is frorn different angle
and is struck with various force, the
workman instinctively guides the chlsel
and the fakes fall into the baskets in
an almost continuous stream They
are shaped with a chisel-like hammer
on block of iron and are then packed
into barrels containing from 5000 to
10000 each.

children to spend hours each day With

often horrifed to find precious little
