It was probably a secondary invention, accidentally made during tool-making ope

17、rations with wood or stone. studies of primitive societies suggest that the earliest method of making fire was through friction. European peasants would insert a wooden drill in a round hole and rotate it briskly between their palms This process could be speeded up by wrapping a cord around the dril

19、uced sparks.The techniquebecame moreefficient after the discovery of iron, about 5000 vearsago In Arctic North America, the Eskimos produced a slow-burning spark by striking quartz against iron pyrites, a compound that contains sulphur. The chinese lit their fires by striking porcelain with bamboo.

20、In Europe, the combination of steel, flint and tinder remained the main method of fire- lighting until the mid 19th century.Fire-lighting was revolutionised by the discovery of phosphorus, isolated in 1669 by a German alchemist trying to transmute silver into gold. Impressed by the elements combusti

21、bility, several 17th century chemists used it to manufacture fire-lighting devices, but the results were dangerously inflammable. with phosphorus costing the20Readingeqimalent of several hundred pounds per ounce, the hrst matches were expensive.The quest for a practical match really began after 1781

22、 when a group of French chemists came up with the phosphoric candle or Ethereal Match , a sealed glass tube containing a twist of paper tipped with phosphorus. when the tube was broken, air rushed in, causing the phosphorus to self- combust. An even more hazardous device, popular in America, was the

23、 Instantaneous Light Box a bottle filled with sulphuric acid into which splints treated with chemicals were dipped.The first matches resembling those used today were made in 1827 by John walker, an English pharmacist who borrowed the formula from a military rocket-maker called congreve. costing a sh

24、illing a box, congreves were splints coated with sulphur and tipped with potassium chlorate. To light them, the user drew them quickly through folded glass paper.walker never patented his invention, and three years later it was copied by a samuel Jones,who marketed his product as Luciers. About the

25、same time, a French chemistry student called charles sauria produced the first “strike-anywhere” match by substituting white phosphorus for the potassium chlorate in the walker formula. However, since white phosphorus is a deadly poison, from 1845 match-makers exposed to its fumes succumbed to necro

26、sis, a disease that eats away jaw-bones. It wasn,t until 1906 that the substance was eventually banned.That was 62 years after a swedish chemist called pasch had discovered non-toxic red or amorphous phosphorus, a development exploited commercially by pasch,s compatriot J E Lundstrom in 1885. Lundst

27、rom,s safety matches were safe because the red phosphorus was non-toxic; it was painted on to the striking surface instead of the match tip, which contained potassium chlorate with a relatively high ignition temperature of 182 degrees centigrade.America lagged behind Europe in match technology and s

28、afety standards. It wasn,t until 1900 that the Diamond Match company bought a French patent for safety matches but the formula did not work properly in the different climatic conditions prevailing in America and it was another 11 years before scientists finally adapted the French patent for the Us.T

29、he Americans, however, can claim several “firsts” in match technology and marketing. In 1892 the Diamond Match company pioneered book matches. The innovation didn,t catch on until after 1896, when a brewery had the novel idea of advertising its product in match books. Today book matches are the most

30、 widely used type in the Us, with 90 percent handed out free by hotels, restaurants and others.other American innovations include an anti- afterglow solution to prevent the match from smouldering after it has been blown out; and the waterproof match, which lights after eight hours in water.practice

38、Zoo,s recent advertisements caused me some irritation, sopatently did it distort reality. Headlined “Without Zoos you might as well tell these animals to get stuffed”, it was bordered with illustrations of severalendangered species and went on to extol the myth that without Zoos likeLondon Zoo these

39、 animals “will almost certainly disappear forever”. With the Zoo world,s rather mediocre record on conservation, one might beforgiven for being slightly sceptical about such an advertisement.Zoos were originally created as places of entertainment, and their suggested involvement with conservation didn,t seriously arise until
