EARLY METHODS OF LIGHTING a FIRE
Some of These Curious Methods Still EN-
ployed by Many of the Indian Tribes.
iSracial Corresnondanco

Some of These Curious Methods Still EN-
pIoyed by Many of the Indian Tribes.
Especial Correspondence
DENVER, June S.-The general suppo-
sition is that before the era Of matches all
fires were kindled by obtaining a spark
from the conclusion of pieces of flint
and iron, but such was not the case.
Centuries ago-bsfore the white men had
penetrated into the lands Of the Klamath,
Pueblo and other Indian tribes-wood
friction was the method employed by the
North American Indians. The same man
ner of kindling fires can be observed
among many Of them today. No other
method is employed by the Eskimos and
otherinorthern uncivilized peoples, and
no later than 1883 wood friction was used
to kindle the fire at the white dog feast
by the New York Iroquois Indians and
the Onondaga Iroquois Of Canada.
The operation of igniting finder by
wood friction is varied, but in every in
stance it is peculiar and shows consid-
cradle amount Of patience and ingenuity.
The most primitive form Of apparatus
consists Of two pieces Of wood, one Of
some dry, loose grained timber, which is
the piece to be operated upon, and the
other, or spindle, must be Of hard wood,
which must be perfectly dry. The first
piece is laid fiat on the ground close to
the finder which is to be ignited, and
small hole is cut in the floor to receive
the wood powder as it is ground from
the loose grained wood. The hard wood
spindle is then taken between the palms
Of the hands, and having first pressed
the point against the other piece Of
wood it Is twirled rapidly, causing a
gradually increasing friction and grind
ing out a little heap Of wood powder,
which falls into the hole referred to.
This generates great deal of heat, and
finally the little heap Of wood dust be-
gins to smolder, and In little time
enough heat is evolved to produce igni.
ton by spontaneous combustion.

NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.
Amendments TO the InterState.C Commerce Act
Suggested Good Roads Favored.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The Nation al
Board of Trade spent the morning session
to-day largely in discussing proposed
amendments to the lnterstate-commerce
act. 1t was resolved that amendments
should be favored giving effect to orders
of the Interstate Commission; exempting
witnesses from criminal penalties; making
corporations indictable and punishable for
violations; a definition OF the scope of the
act to cover all carriers and persons en-
gagged in interstate commerce; imposing
demurrage for unreasonable delay, and in
suring freedom from unreasonable declara-
ton of exemption in contracts for inter
state carriage. Congress was urged to sp-
prOpriate 100000 to make O survey for the
proposed canal around Niagara Falls. The
establishment of permanent census bu-
reau was recommended. The following
resolution was adopted:
That the National Board of Trade recognizes
the exceeding poverty OF the country, even amid
riches, In the universally deplorable condition of
its public highways, considers the same posi-
tive obstruction TO progress and an exhaustive
extravaganza, and favors every measure far
and near, that will tend to remedy this evil
A resolution was also passed favoring the
passage of an Anti- adulteration bill. and
tho board then adjourned.
