FIRST ARTIFICIAL FIRE.
Created by Primative Man by Rubbing Two Pieces of
 Wood Together.

Writes s. E. Forman in Stories of Useful Inventions" in St. Nicholas: In the course of time a man some where in the world hit upon a plan of kindling a fire without having any fire to begin with: that is to say. he hit upon plan of producing a fire by arti- ficial means. He knew that by rub bing his hands together very hard and very fast he could make them very warm. By trial he learned that by rubbing two pieces of dry wood to- gether he could make them very warm. Then he asked himself the question: Can a fire be kindled by rubbing two pieces of wood together. If they are rubbed hard enough7 He placed upon the ground a piece of perfectly dry wood and rubbed this with the end of a stick until a groove was made. In the groove a fine dust of wood-a kind of savdust-vas made by the rubbing He went on rubbing hard and fast, and. behold. the dust in the groove be- gan to giovl He placed some dry grass upon the embers and blew upon them with his breath. and the grass burst into a flame. Here for the first time a man kindled a fire for himself He had invented the match. the great est invention. perhaps. in the history of the world
