HISTORY OF

sulphur-tipped splints of wood.
called "spunks," were in common
use long before the modern ignition
match was invented.
The first really practical friction
matches were made in England in
1927 by John Walker, a druggist.
Now comes an italian, Cesare
Segre, to say that his grandfather,
born in 1879, was the first man to
invent matches of any kind. The
match which he manufactured
consisted of a piece of wood one
end of which had been treated with
a preparation of chloride of lime.
After being dipped in a solution of
acid these matches could
be lighted very quickly with a tind-
er.
The matches were manufactured
in considerable quantities and were
sold chiefly to royalty.
