Louise Raw is a Labour historian with a background in the Trade Union movement and political campaigning.
The two most common methods of fire-making before the advent of matches were friction and percussion. Percussion fire-starting is the method that seems most commonly to have been in use in the Viking Age: it certainly is the only one that leaves good traces in the archaeological record. These fire-steels are used along with a long, narrow striking stone, and stones found with these often show a pronounced groove down which the steel was slid to create sparks. The box is decorated with Indian rupee coins, produced for export to India; made at Christiania Taendstikfabrik, Heggedal, Norway, 1874-1895. William Stead, the editor of the Pall Mall Gazette, Henry Hyde Champion of the Labour Elector and Catharine Booth of the Salvation Army joined Besant in her campaign for better working conditions in the factory.
Cast about as it may, there is no way for Israel now to free itself from a hook that it baited itself. In 1903, this mode of ignition was revolutionised when the Austrian scientist Carl Auer von Welsbach discovered ferrocerium – an alloy creating a huge spark when being scratched. Lighters consist of a canister filled with a flammable liquid or compressed gas acting as tinder, as well as a mechanism to light it. On the upper surface, it is smooth, but marked with circular ridges of different colours, more or less brown or blackish. Volk observes, "The fungus must have been very important to the Iceman for him to carry it in a special pouch for such a long distance" (Volk; Peintner et al.

In June 1888, Clementina Black gave a speech on Female Labour at a Fabian Society meeting in London.Identifying these women not only puts real faces on the Victorian stereotypes of the downtrodden but enables Raw to link the strike back to the families and communities of the East End, and in particular to connect the match women with the other great unskilled activists of the era: the dockers. The second major type of fire-steel found in the Viking Age is one influenced by Eastern Baltic art. Found all over the world, they come in different shapes and forms, ranging from simple to elaborate designs.
