This homely looking plant Is the

In our gardens come from the coast,

HERE'S USEFUL GAS LIGHTER
Rod Tipped with Iron Alloy That
Emits Sparks When It Is
Rubbed. (
An eminent scientist discovered
eome years ago that u certain iron
alloy on being lightly rubbed with a
Jlle, would emit intensive sparks that
Instantly Ignite gas.
The practical application of this
discovery consists of a metal rod hold

silloy. On the lower end of the rod

rubs the alloy against a rough sur
face, and the spurk Is emitted. Up
