A match is a small and insignificant alTair , et UJultiplied as it has been in 11us country and the rest of th civi1i1.cd world' , has been one of the most potential agents of modern material de- vclopment. It has come into use at a late day in the world's his- tory. There are many living among us still who can rcmcmber when the flint and tender were the regular means of star ing a I fresh fire , and the phI enc was I carefully preserved bv burying the embers night after night to b rev \'cd in the morning. It is cightYI'years ago the proscnt year that the lucifer match , the first genuine friction match , was invented - vented , and even that rl ! < Juired an attchment of best sandpaper to produce the desired results , 1.t is hard for the pr sent gencration to realize f h , : incon- \'cniences from which the friction - tion match emancipated their ancestors. The manufacture of this product has become a great and even somewhat (1 versificd industry , because every section seems to have matches pcculiar to itsclf. A man who has been a commerical traveler for many years tells us that if he were taken up and carried to any point east of the Alleganies he wo ld tell within a hundred miles of where he was by the matches he should find in use. There is also a national pride in matchcs. , A recent mayor of Manchester , gng-land , visited friends in Boston - I ton :1 few days ale , spoke very h i g h 1 Y 0 f 0 u r "abomiable matches. " and declared that he did not see how a high-spirited , independent and enterprising pcople like ourselves put up with them. 'fhe American people , however - ever , appear to be fairly well contented with our home product , else they should not buy and consume - sume so many with comparitively so little grulUbli g. 'rhey use up about 700,000,000.000 a year or about half of all that are manufactured - ufactured in the world. There are hundreds of factories scattered - tered ovcr the country , one plant on the Pacific coast covering 240 acres and opcrating- over thirty milcs of railroad , over wiich is carricd to it daily 200,000 feet or sugar pine an yellow pine logs for the match machines. Inferior - ferior lumbcr will not do. It must be straight-grained and free from knots and carefully tr ated in addition. The bJ- product goes into larger things. I'he factory on the Pacific coast rcferrell to turns out as this byproduct - product a thousand doors and 800 window shashes daily. In a single year enc matc1i company in the bke regon cut 225,000,000 board feet of pinc , though that was inendcd for more than a ) 'ear's product. It' no wonder , when we consider thl'sc figures , that the matchmakers - makers are becoming anxious. And that is true in other countries - ries as well as our own. In Germany an'd France there 1S a movement to have for est. s planted just for match timber , and we may soon face a famine in match wood in this country , fur not all kinds can b u . ed for that purpose. It may also happen that in- vcntion may devclop something that will ta1ce the p1ace of matches , It is not probable that the limit of progress has been reached in t he means of producing - ing fire at need. 'fherc is no pr mothean plenally for the man who shall make the discovery , but rather welcome and reward by his eager fellowmen. Reat Estate Transfers.
