The First Artificial Fire.

In the course Of time a man some
where In the world hit upon a plan Of
kindling fire without having any fire
to begin with that is to say. be hit
upon plan Of producing a hre by
artificial means. He knew that by
rubbing 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 be could make them very warm.
Then he asked himself the question,
Can fire be kindled by rubbing two
pieces Of wood together II they are
rubbed hard enough? He placed upon
the ground piece Of perfectly dry
wood and rubbed this with the end OF
stick until a groove was made. In
the groove fine dust Of wood-a kind
OF sawdust-was made by the rubbing.
He went on rubbing hard and fast,
and, behold, the dust In the groove be-
gan TO glowl He placed some dry
grass upon the embers and blew upon
them with his breath, and the grass
burst into a fame Here for the first
time q man klndled FIRE for himself.
He had invented the match, the great
est invention perhaps In the history Of

Years to Keep Out Of
Business.

petition In voluntary bankruptcy, acknowl-
edging that he was Indebted In the sum of
2s, 7s6. was today examined by attorneys
representing his creditors at the Office of
e. s. McCalmont, referee in bankruptcy.
Mr.. Nicolai was formerly in the oil busi-
ness with his brother. under the firm name
of Nicolai Brothers. The firm retired from

by the Standard Oil Company to accept It's
terms. From 1895 to January. 1906, Stand
ard Oil paid me a regular salary or pension
every month to keep out of business. They
then found, suppose, they could get along
without me-"
In response to a query of counsel Mr..
Nicolai stated that the contract was made
in 1895 for three years and had been re-
newed from time to time. Asked II Stand
ard Oil was now indebted to him, Mr..

amount was an item of $4,000 the value
of a lease on certain land in Rosslyn, Va,

edged that the improvements had cost only
s, 600.
The creditors of Mr. Nicolai held a meet
ing and elected Attorney James A. Toomey

Toomey had been acting receiver by ap-
pointment of Chief Justice Clabaugh.
