THE AMERICAN 9 14 NEW MATERIAL rOR MATCHES. Way TUl Vary Tmpmm It U predicted that paper la ih com 1 material for malcbea. The prow led of the wooden match industry be- ! appreciably affected by a new pro- ceaa for manufacturing mauhe of iva per U held to be extremely probable, particularly aa tbe best wood for this parpose la constantly growing scarcer and more costly. The new matchea are ouualderably cheaper than the wooden product and weigh much less, which count for much Id exportation. The Btli-ka of the matches oouaint of pape rolled together on the bias. The pane la rather strong and porous, and, when immersed in a solution of wax, steirln and similar substance, sticks well to Mthcr and burns with a bright, smoke- leas and odorless flame. Strips one half inch In width are first drawn through the combustible mass and then tarned by machinery into long, thin tubes, pieces of the ordinary length of wood or wax matches being cut off au tomatically by the machine. When the sticks are cut to size they are dipped Into phosphorus, also by machinery ad the dried head easily ignites by friction on any surface. There Is some talk of utilizing the new Invention In the manufacture of matches on an extensive scale for ex port In India. The invention involves na waste whatever, and the paper Is delivered in rolls like the telegraph tape, and converted at one operation lato match-sticks, and by a second into matches that would dry without stov lag for a large part of the year in India. One thing, however, must be made sure of that a wax is used which will harden at a shade temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit at least. Bos ton Transcript. After HI Owa Heart. The late J. Hammond Trumbull LA..D., long the librarian of the Wat klnson library at Hartford Conn., was rfaeply Interested in Oriental arehaeol ogy, and some twenty or thirty years ago made a visit to Egypt. Preparing for the visit, be took up the study of the hieroglyphics and found no dim culty In reading the cartouches of the kings. On one occasion while oa the da habiyeh he was accosted by a native dealer in antiquities who wished to soli him scarabs. He shook his head and intimated that they were forgeries, The man loudly protested that they were genuine. Thereupon Dr. Trum bull took a scarab out of his pocket. Hhowed It to the man and asked him if that was genuine. He looked at it and said, "Certainly." "I do not think so," said Dr. Trum bull. "Why not?" said the man. "Because I whittled it out myself yes terday." The dealer was greatly delighted. He felt that he had met with a worthy compeer, and he took him to his shop and showed him where his own an tiquities were made. The Independ ent. Knifing a Kanaam "Octopu." Prom the Kansas City Journal: Onca ' ia a while one of the slaves and serfs gets hia knife into the railroad octopus and churns it up and down at a frght- ful rate. A Union Pacific locomouve set fire to a field of wheat in Russell county recently, and 150 acres of it were burned, while ten acres remained ' standing. The claim agent for the rail road agreed with the farmer that the ten acres should be cut and threshe l, and that the railroad would pay for the burned grain just in proportion to the yield from the unburned portion. It happened that the ten acres left stand ing contained the cream of the crop, " and It threshed out thirty-three bush els to the acre, while it is estimated that the whole field would not have averaged more than fifteen bushels. The railroad stood by its agreement, and the farmer realized more than twice the value of his crop. The claim agent says that until the settlement kad been made all the farmers in the aeighborhood swore that the ten-acre patch was not as good as tbe 150 acres burned, and then they went to crowing ver the manner in which the railroad had been cinched. Fate or a I.lttle fug Dog. Last Sunday at Glen Island, N. Y., a sea lion devoured a small pug dog which was smuggled into the park by a woman, who had hidden him under a wrap. Thirteen lions were basking in the sun on a raft. The dog fell or was thrown into the water by a mischiev ous boy and the lions made a simul taneous dash into the water. They im mediately sank under the surface, but a moment later one of them appeared within a few feet of the dog. The lat ter was swimming toward shore, ap parently unconscious of danger. Ho turned his head In the direction of the Hon, which disappeared with the dog a moment later. The lion soon came to the surface again, but the dog was not to be seen. ( ,. Dead Tough Lack. Charles Titel, a poor man in search of work in Milwaukee, received word from Chicago that he was left a legacy of 3,000. Being without money to pur ohase a ticket to Chicago, he resolved to reach there by stealing a ride on a freight train. In attempting to do so he was drawn under the wheels and al most ground to pieces. He died a short time after the accident Ex. , Retting the Eyes. A medical Journal says that in the continued use of the eyes In such work as sewing, type-setting, book keeping, reading and studying, the saving point la looking up from the work at short Intervals and looking around the room. This practice every ten or fifteen mln- hvtes relieves the musoular tans ln, rests ia and makes the blood lupplr laoh bUar. W. H. RfSSEIJ Attorney. l New York Ufa BuUdlnf.
