Historical Research About Fire.

The Rcrue ScienfifyUe prints q curl
ous paper by Professor Jolly. in which
he inquiries by whom and when fire was
discovered. Abiding to the fable OF
Promctheus, he finds it of Indian orr
gin. In the Nedas the god Of fire. AyDi,
compare with Latin Iynis, is conceal
ed III II secret place whence the god Ma
tarishvan, forces him out, and makes HIM
communicate the celestial fire to ManOu
the first man. The very name of Pro
metheus is traceable to the Ncdas. and
calls to mind the process employed by
the ancient Brahmas to obtain the s;l-
cred fire. For this purpose they used
a stick called i'romofho, which they ig-
nitcd by friction. The prefix Jo'o gives
the idea of taking by force, II circnm-
stance which strengthens the evidence
afforded by the resemblance of tina!
word to Promctheus. There are sever
al ways for obtaining fire by friction
the most primitive one consisted in rub
bing two pieces of dry wood against
each other; but this was improved in
the course of time. A stick was made
to slide very fast up and down in a
groove : then came the - lirc-drill, con
sisting of piece of wood having cav
ity in which Il stick was inserted, which
was pressed upon by the operator who
at the same time made it turn very fast
after the fashion of whimblc Brah-
Minis used this drill. but with cord
rolled around it. by pulling which they
gave the alternate rotary motion to the
stick. Another mode of obtaining fire
was that of striking two tlints together,
etc. Professor Jolly now arrives at the
question as to whether prehistoric mar
was in the possession Of fire. Able
Bourgeois goes so far as to say that it
was known as early as the miocenc peri
od, because in the sands of the Orlean-
ais he has found piece of artificial paste
having cinders adhering to it, and lying
in the midst of bones of the mastodon
and dinoterium. Our author considers
the thing not impossible, but not suil-
GENTLY proved; nevertheless he is posi-
tive that the most ancient quaternary
man did use fire !; and many fire places,
with ashes. cinders, half-calcined bones
and fragments of rude pottery having
unquestionablv been found in cnvcrns
pertaining to the period of the reindeer,
the bear and polished stone.
