A French artist, M. Amiot, has lately exhibited a collection of articles made entirely from the ends of matches picked up in the streets of Paris, He weaves his material In a design, spreads the backs of the matches with gum and presses the whole firmly together. M. Amiot has made several vases in this way and an excellent model of a violin. In the latter, which has movable pegs and strings, there are no fewer than 1,500 matches.
