FLINT LOCKS STILL IN USE
OId-Fashioned Muskets Remain Prin-
cipal Weapons of Many Natives
in African Jungles.

Old flin.lock muskets are still the
principal weapons of hordes of natives
over vast tracts of Africa, The exis-
teIce of these ancient arms keeps
alive a steady demand for gun flints.
a demand which is supplied from the
little Norfolk village of Brandon,
where there are flint pits which have
been worked, as remains found estab-
fish. for at least 80 centuries. The
business is hereditary one. Large
masses of flint are got out of the quar-
ries and then faxed or split (the proc
ess being termed "knapping") in or
der to get at the core, which alone is
used. The workmen place the flint
upon pad upon their left leg and tap
1t with short, heavy hammer Four
fifths of the flint thus dealt with is
waste, but of the remainder gun fiints,
carbine flints and pistol flints are still
manufactured, while tinderbox fints
are prepared for the shepherds of the
remoter parts of Spain and Italy.
