The first step in the development Of the
stove was an open hearth. In some ma
tons it has never advanced beyond that
stage. The Eskimo to this day-and the
Indian, too, for the matter of that-heats
his dwelling by building fire in the CEN
ter of the room or hut and permitting the
smoke to escape through hole in the
roof. The consideration of light re-
quircs that this hole should be large
enough to give easy egress to the vapor,
and the larger it is, of course, the more
heat will escape. At the same time the
inmates of the dwelling will have the
same trouble that tormented the life Of
hit Carson's pioneer. If he have fire
enough to warm him, he will burn; if he
have not enough, it will do him no good.
