MAKING A-LIGHT. Curious Methods of Fire Making in Use Among Various Peoples. AND LUCIFERS. How Natives of Borneo Produce Fire by the Compression of Air—Igtiting Tinder by Sawing and “Piowing”—Evolution of the Friction Match. SPUNK 5 | Written for The Evening Star. HE MOST CURIOUS of all known methods of making fire is prac- ticed by the native tribes of Borneo and Burmab. Funnily enough the instrument which they employ is utilized for the same purpose today by the scientific physicist in the Inboratory. The primitive form of ap~ paraius used by the Darbarons peoples referred to is simply « cylin~ der of buffalo horn with a sort of piston that fits into it. In the receptacle that holds this “fire syringe.” as it ix called, is also carried a small box filled with tinder. When fire is wanted a piece of tinder is placed in the hollowed ‘end of the piston, which is thereupon inserted into the mouth of the cylinder of buffalo horn. Holding the cylinder in the left hand, the op- erator strikes the knob of the piston a smart blow with the open right hand. the force used being sufficient to drive it home. Owing to the natural law by which compressed air gives up heat under reduction of volume the tinder in the end of the piston catches fire and ix seen to be alight when the piston is instantly and | quickly withdrawn after the blow has been | of this device was taken out in 1814, u1 the | name of “‘match-light box.” It of a | tin box or wooden receptacle containing » glass bottie filled with asbestos soaked with: foundation of the industry of making friction | | matches.” . ‘The next invention was called the ‘‘instan- taneons light box,” or “eupyrion,” or “dip splint,” said to have been first introduced in | Vienna in 1809.

Unfortunately ‘the acid lost its Ca after a short time, and the composition with which the splints was tipped meited in 2 damp atmosphere, so that the “eupyrion,” which was costly to begin with, obtained but a limited popularity. Another fire producer on the same order was the “prometheans,” tubes of glass filled with sul- pharic acid surrounded with an inflammable mixture made chiefly of alum and sugar. On being broken they gave an instantaneous light. Another preparation of the same sort was com- posed of chlorate of potash and sugar mixed with a solution of gum.

A GOLDEN STREAM OF MONEY The Good Prospects for Coming Fall Season inthe Real Estate Market—Benefits of the Coming Encampment—Mr. Fraser's Spa- chous Residence—Other Matters. N A RECENT NEWS- paper letter the corre- spondentgives the views ofaman who announces his interest in a scheme to erect a large hotel in this city. His informant is of the opinion that Wash- ington has no hotel that is “adapted to the social importance of the Americancapital.” The cor- respondent conjectures that the proposed hotel will be erected on Connecticut avenue in the vicinity of K street. He mentions the old Casino Property as a probable site. although it has now passed into other hands gnd is improved by a row of stores. He might have surmised that the proposed site is where the Academy of Visi- tation building is located. Several years ago a agndicate was formed with the intention of pur- chasing this property and erecting a fine hotel building there. Men of wealth were interested in this enterprise and it was proposed to put up @ hotel building that would be a notable struc- ture of the kind. Negotiations were in pro- gress, but some of those in the syndicate be- camo tired of attending to business and so out. The bottom also dropped out entire enterprise. Later on it was P to build a fine hotel at the head of 16th street, and this scheme is still on, although fost now the projectors are resting and awaiting ture developments, There seems to be 9 | question but that a spacious hotel building will erected in thiscity before long, but it would appear that in many of the proposed enter- prises more is attempted than can be easily car- ried out. Somehow there seems to be an ides heir chief advantages are that thoy are noise- less and will not leave a mark when scratched upon a white wall.

Making of splints in great quantities began with the invention of Reuben Partridge’s splint-cutting machine. Previously matches had been cut by hand by means of « collection of blades. Now the splintsare forced through dies to give them a round shape. Splint cutting is at present a separate industry. Ine splints are sold by to the match ‘tories, ayd one machine will cut 10,000,000 a tricity. however, seems to tact limit the use of matches. Lighting gas by elec- tricity has been accomplished for some years, and the gas jets of most large audience rooms, lighted theaters and churches in this country are by electricity by the pressure of a button. In residences with modern improvements gas can ed inthe halls and rooms on different a switchboard situated at a conve- nient location. Some day a practical portable electric lighter may be devised. panda HOTTEST PLACE IN TOWN. ‘The Investigator Was Not Permitted, How- ever, to Test the Heat for Himself, From the Chicago Daily Inter-Ocean. Yesterday three men sat in the Palmer House trying to decide what was the hottest place in Chicago. Engine rooms, locomotive cabs and basements were suggested, but it was finally agreed by the trio that a big laundry was the ein town. One of the mem jumped up and declared his intention of going into one just to see what jt was like on # hot day. His ions demurred, and he went away on vestigation alone, what « Chicago laundry is inside in sum- ner will forever remain a inystery to the un- ‘The curious man didn’t find out how jot of u laundry appeared. He met a dy and gazed in at her over the office E ‘Can I go in and see the laundry running?” he asked. ~Well—um—ah.” said the young woman, in some confusion, “hadn't you better come around on a cooler di “No, that isn’t it,” said the man. “I've seen laundries on cool days; what I want to see isa laundry ona hot day. You understand?” but you see—ab, well, you know—dear me, [don’t know what to and the girl stammered in great embarrassment. “Ob. vou better let me in, said the man, who had an indefinite impression that the young woman was guving him. He made for the door leading to the laundry. The girl screamed, “Don't go in there! For goodness sakes go awa; and don't ask any questions.” “Look here,” said the investigator, ‘what are you making so mucu fuss for? Now quiet down and tell me why I can't go iu. vi ‘ ‘s awful bot.” ‘Ot course, I understand that.”” “Um—ah—pshaw! and the girls in there, you know—you see there are girls in there—in there —ob, please go away.” “I supposed there were girls in there; I won't hurt them. What about the girls in there?” nd the investigator felt very much put out at the young woman's stupidity. “Ob. dear,” said the young woman, “I su pose I must. You ree the girls in there; ele, You know, in there, the girls —well, it is so “That what?” blurted the investigator, out of P that the coming hotel must be the largest and finest structure that has ever been erected here for hotel purposes. It is quite possible that TEE BUILDING RECORD. ‘The week ending yesterday was not 3 busy one in building circles.

The ea eg of these amounted to $117,507, vided the several i among as follows: Northwest, fifteen permits, $47,000; southwest, three » 98,482; northeast, ,700; southeast, four = eleven permits, ‘The fail eilding season about the 15th Building — $10,200, and county, eleven permits, of ‘ber, Inspector Entwisle says he expecis a season of unusual activity. pela st DISCIPLINE MAINTAINED, The Captain Was Indignant, but Would Hang His Haversack us Before. From the San Jose Mercury. Capt. J. of ours was a brave officer anda good disciplinarian, generally speaking, but he was of © nervous ‘temperament and some- what eccentric. He had a mania, for in- stance, for roll calls. I have known him to have no less than nine roll calls of a morning before breakfast. Anything out of the com- mon or any whim that struck him was saffi- cient excuse for calling his company into line. For example, seeing pieces of “soft bread” littered about the company street, he shouted, with customary iepaleivoncss: “Fall in, company roll was'called. “Then ihe captain referred to the fragments of soft bread, winding up with: “Don't let me see any more of this waste—make | @ mighty good pudding—without doubtin Tight face, break ranks’ march!" Ina. half hour's time or less the’ men would be com- manded to fall in again for another roll call on some other and less vital matter. The story | was current iu B. that the company was called out one sia that the captain might ask which man owed him ten cents; but this, I suspect. was an exaggeration, if not a pure creation, i tly believed throughout the regiment. Capt. J. bad command of the grand line on one occasion, and at the post which hi made his headquarters were a rergeant and half dozen men. The post was inthe village of Falls Church, the men. were given | strict orders ngainst interfering with private | roperty. But soldiers are bat human, and | it was not long before they discovered tome | very plump chickens. What followed ‘may | be imagined, Early next morning oue of the | inhabitants presented himself to the | captain with a grievance. His fattest chicken | had disappeared during the night. and feath- ers hed hove discovered just outside the picket post. The circamstantial evidence was strongly against the Union soldiers. Capt. J. was ing nt. The men were ordered into line and the rol) was called. Then the captain i there is more money in a simpler scheme, as, for instance, the erection of & comparativel small building, fireproof throughout, which will be conducted on the European system. There | guests could secure a room and get their meal: in the cafe or elsewhere. There are already a sufficient number of buildings in this city for hotel purposes for the presen! timo, perhaps. What the average traveler wants. however, is | the same accommodations for his money as he can get in other cities of corresponding size. THE MONEY VALUE OF THE EXCAMPMENT. The stimulus to all classes of basiness that | will be given by the great. crowds that will be | here for four or five days in September can hardly be estimated, It would be impossible for any one to predict what would be the effect of placing in actual circulation in uny com- munity, during the course of a few dat lion or two of dollars. Yet that is exact will happen in Warhington in the week begin- | call | ning September 18. A low estimate gives the number of visitors to this city at that time at 200,000. There may be more, there muy be ‘8. It is quite certain that the veterans them- selves will number betwecn 60,000 and 70,000, and when the wives, thechildren and the friends. aswell as the s public, are taken into consideration, it is quite apparent that the crowd wili reach very large proportions. Al- lowing that each visitor will spend on an aver- | age $10 per day, it will readily be seen that 100,000 will’ leave here the great sum of $1,000,000. Of course, the bulk of thia| money will be ~— spent. «on mere subsistence, but the people who feed the crowd and supply them with places to sleep. and look after their other needs will be obliged to pur- chase their supplies and will no doubt expend their earnings in paying their debts, in buying clothes or furniture or perhaps making a pay- ment on some property. There is not a line of business in the city that will not feel the stimu- lus of this golden shower and the fall season will open auspiciously on thecrest of the wave of this large addition to the cash capital of the city. It is probable that the visitors will spend more money than is required for the mere ne- cessities, as this city,with its great business em- poriums, offers an opportunity to secure bar- gains which the people from small country places will appreciate. If their attention is not called to the admirable opportunities afforded by Washington real estate for profit- able investment it will not be the fault of the enterprising real estate brokers of the city. At any rate, if many of the visitors do not con- clude to invest they will all become enthusiastic | tion. lectured the men on the sin of chicken stealing nd concluded by ordering. that every man's haversack be searched for missing poultry. The haversacks went through the ordeal trinmph- antly. Not so much aaa feather was found inany one of them. Capt. J, gave a sigh of relief and | the complainant was forced to acknowledge | that his suspicions were unfounded. 9 At dinner that day the captain founda plamp, Juicy chicken, finely roasted, awaiting his atten- | ion. He looked at the bird, sniffed its aroma | and was about to dissec t the instinct of | the officer deterred him. Addressing his black | servant he demanded. | “Horace, where'd this chicken come from?” | “Got him outer yer haveraack, cap'n.” “Out of my haversack? Captain J. looked down at the chicken, and | then his eyes sought the heavens. Then he laid | down his knife and fork. sprang to his feet and | cailed out, “Fall in!” Again the inevitable roll q «Who put that chicken into my haversack?” he demanded in severe tones. The men exchanged glances, a smile passed down the line, but there was no response. Again the demand in somewhat milder accents, for the fragrance of roast chicken was in air. Finally the servant spoke up. ‘Captain, he said, “‘we are all in it. We thought » bit of poultry might be good for you for a change, and, a8 your baversack happened to be handy, we just put the bird into it.” Capt. J. called up a serious face, but that thicken did have a tempting amell.' The lines | of his countenance graduelly relaxed into smile, “It was a wrong thing to do,” he said, “‘a very wrong thing. but now that the chicken is cooked-—and it looks and smells like a good one~—it would be wicked not to eat it. And eaten it was, and every man had his share. Bnt | at the roll call which’ followed—I believe be would have halted his company in the midst of a charge for a roll call—-Capt. J. again animad- verted upon the offense of pludering non-co: batants, and finished his homily by remarking: “T shall hang my haversack in the same place | tonight.

PROSPECTS OF THE FALL SEASON, In addition to the advantages in a business way which the coming encampment will bring to the city the fall season gives promise of be- {ng « good one in the real estate line. Money be more plentiful, and then the uneasiness caused by the new assessment has been re- moved by the amendment to the sundry civil bill, which continues the old assessment for an- other year. Everybody will pay the same amount of taxes next year as they did last Year and what might have proved a disturbing @lement has been removed. Another favorable condition is the improvements which have been made and which are soon to be made in the system of operating the street ansit is the point foward ‘which, all these bu provements are steadily moving. Then there arg new lines authorized to be built in sections of the city where such facilities are much needed, and altogether these changes are fast bringing the street railroad system of the city up to a high grade. As the suburbs are brought near to the business center of the city by these rapid transit lines of railtoad; euburban property becomes more de- sirable, is available to a larger class of the pop- ulation and relieves the pressure which to some extent has forced up the prices of city property. When the area of availabie building land is en- larged, other things being equal, prices are reg- ulated and controlled. MR. FRASER'S RESIDENCE. One of the largest private residences recently erected here is that of Mr. George Fraser, at the corner of 20th and Retreete, where Connecti- cut avenue intersects the former street. It is a building of strong individuality, if the term ‘may be used in such a the result not only of the design, but of the choice and the combination of the materials, The house is a ‘square structure, with no projections except a square porch at the main entrance and a curved bay window exteading 0 yh the first story ou the R street side. It is surmounted by hipped roof covered with red tile and finished ‘@ square balustrade at the center.

UARDSMEN WHO are interested in the brigade rifle team see that it i constantly improving, not phe- nomenally, but with Pleasing steadiness, and that it now bas the ap- Pearance of an organi- zation that ought to be successful. Of course there is more than a little difference between shooting in practice and match work, but as the twelve highest scores on last Thursday's cards were made by men who have frequently entered into serious competition with other expert rifte- men it is not unreasonable to euppore that equally satisfactory results might be looked for under the most stringent match conditions, In one thing only was Thursday's practice deficient, and as tbat one thing is of vita! importance some utreus may be laid upon it now. It was the absence of four of the men detailed for duty as members of the eighteen from which the, shooting twelve will ultimately be selected. Dar- ing the preliminary conteste absentecism in- Jured no one but the absentee: now it works to the detriment of the team. For the present and until there is nothing more for the team to do there are no individuals upon ite roll; each man is one part in a finely formed and delicate machine and his failure to appear upsets all cal- culation and spoils every attempt to keep a com- plete comparative record upon which to base inal velection. There will be but three more afternoons at the barracks range before the team leaves for Sea Girt, and on these occasions it is expected that every rifleman whose name | appeared in the special order designating the team will be at the 200 yards’ firing point promptly at 2p. m. _ WILL MOVE JERSEYWARD SEPTEMBER 1. ‘The start for Sea Girtis to be made on the mornjng bf Thursday, September 1, and it is expecied that before the afternoon is com- Helngene the District's representatives will epnifortabiy settled in camp and ready for supper.

All necessary arrange- ments for the comfort of the aggregation are being attended to by Gen. Ordway and by the team quartermaster, Capt. Parmenter. Itia probable that several members of the guard who are not on any of the teams will proceed to Sea Girt in company with the rifle men. The trip isu pleaswnt one and by no means expensive.
