FRICTION MATCHES MODERN
Inventor Of First Practical Ones Was
American Whose Idea Was Pat
ented by Another.

Friction matches are a comparative.
ly modern invention. They were first
made by John Walker in England, In
1927, but were rather crude AFFAIRS.
He improved them somewhat In 1888
by using phosphorus. The first really
practical friction match was made In
the United States In 1896 by l.. G. Al
len of Springfield. Mass. Before this
time clumsy form OF match was I'm
ported from France, which had to be
dipped into bottle Of sulphuric acid
before It could be lighted.
This took great deal Of time and
trouble. and Allen. seeing the neces'
sity for friction matches. set about to
make them. and succeeded. He neg
lected to patent them. however, and on
finally applying for letters patent
found that man named AlOnzo Phil
ips. who was a peddler. had discOv
cred through third person the secret
Of making the matches and had al
ready obtained a patent. Thus Allen
though the real inventor. was forced
to become a mere manufacturer under
another mans patent.

Novel Insurance.

The good people OF Frankfort seem
to have gone one better than the re-
cent innovation at Lloyd's to insure

The Frankforters have started a com.
pany to insure the lives Of dogs.
Whether the policies are for endow-
ment or annuities or for death only
we do not know. nor Is the name OF
the company given. but Paris con
temporary suggests that 1t will prob.
ably be the "Hunden!!eebenyTsicher'
unggesellschaft," or something ap-
preaching 1t. The Idea Of insuring
children's lives Is not pleasant, but
the prospect Of making money out
OF the death OF the friend of man Is
more repellant. Such an idea was not

POWER OF WORD OVER MAN
Calling ttfs.pressrver q "eslv Caused
the Loss Of Many Lives In 6our.
Qogne Disaster.

A vivid illustration Of the power OF
mere words over human beings was
once bro ight to the attention Of French
people by Francisque Sarcey.
After the wreck of the Bourgogne
many passengers were found floating
drowned with life preservers on.
These life preservers were fastened
upon the bodies but round the middle
instead Of under the arms, and the
greater weight OF the upper part Of
the body had tipped the head under
water and the person OF course was
inevitably drowned.
Now IL appears that the greater
number of the persons so drowned
were French. The French term for
life preservers is ceinture do sauve,
tage. or "life saving belt" This word
ceinture suggests to the mind, In Its
moments of disorder and unreadiress
such as a great catastrophe brings,
the idea Of putting on . belt. and, as
. belt Is put round the waist and no.
where else. the frightened person In.
stinctively adjusts the life preserver
close about the hips.
The result is that as soon az the
person 80 provided falls into the wa.
ter, his body tips over. with the heav.
Ter part downward. and the head 10
plunged beneath the surface.
The word belt" therefore. was the
cause OF the loss OF many lives In the
BOurgogne disaster. Sarcey accord
ingly proposed to counteract the "a,
tai effect Of the article. and calling III
a brassiere, which is kind Of waist,
ard. by bringing the word bras or
arm to mind. to teach people to put
a life preserver on just underneath
the arms

HUNTER DROPS IN HOLE
TWENTY-FIVE FEET DEEP
Remains Imprisoned in Cold,
Damp Quarters Until His
Dogs Bring Aid.

WINSTED. Conn, November Ga
hunter who gave his name as Antonio
Fabiano was imprisoned in hole twenty
five feet deep in the woods at the south
end of Highland lake all night, and save
for his two dogs, which had accompanied
him on raccoon hunting trip, he would
probably have persisted from cold and
starvation, as the section is seldom trod,
except by hunters, at this season. Fabia-
no was coming down the hillside through
the woods. and in the dark did not see
the hole which had been dug for well.
Fortunately, the bottom was sandy, the
action of the foot of water in the hole
having caused the sand on the sides to
cave in.
Unable to Climb Out.
Tho hole had not been stoned up.
therefore Fabiano had nothing to climb
on If he loosened much of the earth he
was afraid of being buried by a caye-n.
He says il was about midnight when he
dropped into the hole and fully an hour
elasped, he said, before his two dogs
found him.
He called for help at the top of his
yoce, his dogs barking loudly. but no one
was attracted by the cries until o'clock
this morning. when a party of rabbit
hunters heard the dogs and investigated.
They went to the nearest farmhouse,
nearly a mile away. and got tackles and
ropes, and after htching the former to
the stout limb of a hemlOck tree which
shaded the hole, rescued Fabiano

PRECAUTIONS ORDERED.
Smokeless Powder to Be Handled

Extraordinary precautions in the han
ding of smokelesS powder have been or
dered by the Secretary of the Navy,
probably caused by reports that the ex-
plosion of the French battleship Liberte
was due to the deterioration of that high
explosive.
The new orders require that such pow
der when taken from magazines on
shore to the ships or from the ships to
shore for target practice, shall be eff
GENTLY shaded from the direct rays of
the sum- and at no time must it be ex-
posed to a temperature higher than 100
degrees Fahrenheit.
When the order has not been complied
with in removing powder. the exposed
ammunition must be segregated. and, II
on board ships, it must be landed at a
naval magazine at. the first opportunity If
belief exists that it has deteriorated.
When smokeless powder has been ex-
posed to heat in excess or 1GO degrees
Fahrenheit 1t is required that a detailed
report be made Immediately to the naval
bureau of ordnance explaining the cir
cumstances and length of time of the ex-
posture.
