FRICTION MATCHES MODERN
..... . r
Invantor of First Practical Onaa Was
Amarlcan Whoa# Idas Was Pat-
antad by Anothar. - —
Friction matches are a comparatlye-
ly modern invantlon. They were first
made by John Walker in Knglaad, in
18X7, but ware rather crude affairs.
Ha improved them somewhat in 1833
by using phosphorus. The flmt really
practical friction match was made In
the United States in 1838 byTL. G. Al-
lan ot Springfield. Mass. Before this
time -a clumsy form of match was im-
ported from France, which had "to be
dipped into a bottle of sulphuric acid
before it could be lighted. -
This took a great deal of tlme and
trouble, and Allan, lasing the neces-
sity for friction matches, gat about to
if ka them, and succeeded; He neg-
lected to patent them, howavyr, and on
finally applying for iettefs patent
found that a man named Alonso Phil-
ips, who was a peddler, t£d discov-
ered through a third persou the secret
of making the mnffhad^aad' find al-
ready obtained a patent Thus Allen,
though the real inventor, war forced
to become a mere manufacturer under

an acquaintance one has not thought
