Match Sticks – The wonder yellow flower generator
Ever imagined the life before the Match sticks, we have to thank the British pharmacist John Walker. In 1826 John observed a dried lump on the end of the stick he is using to stir a mix of chemicals. When he tried to scrap it off he observed flumes and sparks. Eureka!! He then marketed the sticks as friction matches and sold in his pharmacy. Initially he used cardboard later which were replaced by wooden splints. John walker denied in taking the patent for his invention which helped the match sticks to be available at affordable levels.
