About Matches

John Walker, an English chemist,
was experimenting in 1897 with an
lnhammable mixture for use on ship
board. One day Walker happened to
rub stick dipped in this mixture across
table. There was report-the stick
took fire, and because John Walker
was no fool the match was born. The
match's inventor put his wonderful in
vention on the market in April, 1927.
The Walker match was as big as lead
pencil and it cost u shilling box. Be-
cause it could only be lighted by draw
ing it through a piece of sandpaper
folded in two the Holden match
supplanted it in 1888. The Holden was
a lucifer. 1t ignited more easily than
the Walker, 80 it put the Walker out
of business. Sweden is today the home
of the match industry: Sweden exports
annually about 1000, 900, 900 boxes of
Incompatible matches. But there is
no statue to John Walker Exchange.

Came In Contact With Hot Water

There was a peculiar and unusual
accident at the Ward Shaft last evening
in which shift boss Ed Sheerin, Joe
Bennett and an Italian named Isola
were more or less burned by coming in
contact with the hot water on the 2475
station.
They were being lowered to that
station, at the usual speed to make
some changes in the motor. The com
pressed air supplying the pump had
been turned off by some one and the
water had consequently raised unbe
known to them. The first thing they
knew they were in the hot wator. All
were more or less injured, but Joe
Bennett had the misfortune to fall and
was therefore more severely used up
than the others. The cage was rung up
at once and the contact with the water
was only Of brief duration. ...
: It is expected that all three men will
be able to resume work again in a few
days.-Virginia Chronicle.

Volunteers Wanted.

Friends and relatives of the young
man, who have been watching the pro-
gress of his battle with the Grim Rea-
per. are asked to volunteer tomorrow
morning to give skin to make the Op-
Grafton complete success. The ply
sicians have hopes that this attempt
to heal the burns on the back will
prove satisfactory and that Mr.. Crews
will be on the highway to recovery as
soon as the effects of the operation
have worn off.
During his stay in the hospital Mr..
Crews has been conscious the greater
part of the time, lapsing now and then
into an unconscious condition. He has
repeatedly announced to the nurses
that he was not going to succumb to
his injuries, and the dogged determi-
nation with which he has held to this
belief is thought to have played most
important part in the success of his
ability to survive the shock Of the
terrific voltage to which he was sub
jected when he fell upon the wires.

there for treatment, have served in a

suited from the frightful burns, but
have not had the desired effect, and

be performed tomorrW morning be-
tween the hours of $50 and $3.50

bed, lying upon the side that was un-
injured. Reports from attending ply
sicians this afternoon were to the eff
feet that Mr.. Crews was in deliriOus
condition last night, but was better to-
day. An operation was performed yes

have been responsible for his condition

of the custom service in New York,
especially in relation to the frauds
perpetrated in the weighing Of sugar.
Water is a topic of interest among
the congressman, because of the de-

Little of the snow has disappear d

anxious ones have ventured Tor
sleighing about the city, but there is
hardly enough snow on the ground to
make this success. Everything
points to more snow tomorrow, after
