B: Eddy Company, Hull, Que., has on exhibition in the win- dow of Crawford's grocery store, a moat interesting display of matches made In their factories. There are twenty one different types of matoh- es, and the evolution of the match from the old style sulphur type that was made from 1857 and on up to 1886, when improvements began to appear, may be studied. The sulphur malch was still made but slightly improved between 1886 and 1898, and since that time progress has been; very rapid. Match stems are SENT IN FALSE ALARM "DURING RAIN STORM Some Person or Persons Play- ed a Mean Trick on Fire Department. Who sent in the false alarm to the Kingston firemen at 12.58 a.m. Wednesday? This is a question that both the police and the firemen would like to have solved. It so happened that it was pouring rain when the call was sent in to the firv-fighters and the firemen got "soaked" in more ways than one. » The call was given by telephone by {2 man who stated that there was a !firdbat 207 Montreal street and he jasked the firemen to hurry. The firenien at the Ontario street hall got the message first and they lost no time in getting to 207 Montreal street, only to find that there was no fire and that they had been made the victims of a cruel joke. Just be- fore the firemen at the Brock street station left for thé supposed fire at 207 Montreal street, a second call came from an unknown party, who stated that there was a fire in the rooms of the G.A.U.V., Princess street. The Brock street firemen re- sponded to this call, only to find that they too had been sent out on a wild chase. - Sending in false alarms to the fire- men is a very serious offence. From time to time the local (spartment has been called out in this way and it is hoped that the guilty party or parties- will be brought to time. The result would be very serious if a big- fire should happen to break out while the firemen are . answering false alarms. ! Rotary Club Activities.
