Ingenious Gas Lighter.

AN eminent scientist discovered
some years ago that certain iron
alloy on being lightly rubbed with a
file, would emit intensive sparks that
instantly ignite gas.
The practical application OF this
discovery consists of a metal rod
holding on it's top a little piece OF this
alloy. On the lower end OF the rod
is a button which. on being pressed,
rubs the alloy against a rough sur
face, and the spark is emitted. Up
right and inverted lamps may thus be
ignited.
Another very useful application Of
this principle is seen in a stove
lighter. The alloy is fastened on the
end OF the lower leg which, on being
pressed upward, rtIbs against YER
tical roughened surface. In releasing
the hand pressure the lower leg Jumps
back to its original position by means
of the springlilSe action OF the rod,
thus causing the alloy TO spark vie-
lently.
1t is even possible to light gas
lamps at the top of masts, merely by
turning the cock, a slight gas pres
sure starting q mechanism to light it.
The alloy itself is practically inde-
structible and very cheap.
