watsrnrooHnu Matches.

Perhaps some'of your readers would
be interested to know that l have
found a simple, inexpensive way to
waterproof matches. Into some melted
paraf1n. care being taken that it was
as cool as possible, l dipped a few or
binary par1or matches. After with
drawing them and allowing them to
cool it was found that they scratched
almost. as easily as before being coated
With the wax. Several were held I'm
der water for six or seven hours, and
all of them lighted as easily as be-
fore immersion. When the match Is
scratched the parafan is first rubbed of
and the match lights IN the usual way.
Matches treated as above would be
very useful on camping or canoeing
trips. as they do not absorb moisture.
Since more rubbing is required to light
them than the ordinary match, 1t
would be. practically impossible to set
them on fire by accidental dropping
