Harper's Weekly. I Waterproofing Matchei. Perhaps sonio of your readers would bo interested to know that I huve found n simple, Inexpensive way to j waterproof matches. Into some melted paratlln, care being taken that It was as cool as possible, I dipped a few or ; dlnary parlor matches. After with ! drawing them and allowing them to cool It was found (hat they scratched . almost as easily as before being coated with the wax. Several were held un der water for six or seven hours, aud all of them lighted as easily as be fore Immersion. When the match Is scratched the pa ratlin Is first rubbed off and the match lights In the usual way. Matches treated as above would be , very useful on camping or canoeing !
