Matches That Cannot Be Blown Out
A revolutionary type- of match producing heat but no light, the wartime development of Canadian scientists, w;as demonstrated in New York recently. ' The match looks like any other safety match except for the, head, which is much larger than an ordinary one. Like all safety matches, it must be struck on the box in which it is packed, but when it is struck there is no flame. What happens is that the head generates such intense heat that it immediately ignites any surface it touches, without revealing flame or light.
