[Before the discovery of the combustible compound nowapplied to lueifer matches, an ingenious philosophical in-strument had shown the possibility of obtaining instantaneous light by discharging a jet of hydrogen gas upon amass of spongy platinum; and ornamental jars for thispurpose, in which hydrogen was produced by the reactionof zinc and dilute sulphuric acid, were in common use.It is still to be ascertained what is the precise nature orthis curious phenomenon; experiment has revealed nochange either in the weight or composition of the platinumcapable of accounting for the ignition of the gas. Thecompound now nniversally used for matches consists prin-cipally of a .paste of phosphorus, in combination withother chemical substances.—E. E.]
