P» The first Lucifer or friction match dates back to 1829. They were made dipped by hand, and sold for a tile over two dollars per hundred. Today the same quantity may be bought for a couple of cents, or even .- This cheapness is due to the ' t that all matches are made, and East of them are dipped by machinery. .. making matches by one process, a cylinder of pine wood the length of seven matches, which has been soaked in water to make it tough, is placed in a sort of lathe and as it re- volves the circumference comes in contact with a sharp blade which cuts off a continuous shaving the thickness of a match. As this shaving comes sway from the log it is cut into seven strips, each as wide as a match is long. These ribbons are cut into lengths of about eight feet, and one hundred and twenty or so are piled on top of each other, and fed into a cutting machine, which cuts as many Splints at each stroke as there are ribbons in the pile. Rapid as this pro- cess of making splints is, it has been displaced in America by another. method in which very little hard work is required. In this case the raw ma- terial is received at the factory in the shap of a two-inch white pine plank. This is sawed into blocks the length of the match. The blocks are then fastened by means of clamps, to the bed of the ma.â€" chine, and cutters groove out a. set of splints from the surface. The cut- ters do not turn the entire surface tnto splints at one Impact. but cut. them out one-fourth of an inch apart. The ridges left between the places from which the first set of splints was cut, are then worked up. and IO on until the whole Block is consumed. What is your mental age? It makes no difference what your actual age is, iyou have what is now known as q hental ageâ€"somewhere between 31; months and twenty-five years or As soon as the splints ere W from the block they are seized in iron clamp plates. which form on endless chitin.
