be given an opportunity to recover
herself. Attorney Delmas then set

Mr. Hills propensity for blazing the

this is the course he will follow now in

Northern railway.
This does not necessarily mean that
a new transcontinental road will be
built from ST Paul TO Puget sound.
The proposition will depend very
largely on the future growth of busi-
ness in the northwest.

cured His Fire.
Doubtless the production Of fv@

ed by the discovery that friction
would produce 4 fame. IN regions
where suitable stone was not easily
found the inventive abogigine de-
yised the whirling stick, OF fire drill.
This was a stick of hard wood with
its lower end set in a hole in a
block Of very soft, dry wood.
The stick was held upright be-
tween the hands and Whirled BY
rubbing the palms first one way and
then the other. A moderate down
ward pressure was exerted, and as
the hands worked down on the stick
they were occasionally shifted TO a
higher hold.
An Improvement on the hand
whirled drill was the application Of
bow for rotating it. The first
man to make a bow drill is entitled
to fame as the first inventor of a
machine, for he combined several
working pieces In one apparatus for
accomplishing a desired end.
This father Of inventors must
have conceived the idea that if he
should make turn Of his bow
string around q stick and fix the
two ends of the stick in holes he
could rotate the stick much more
easily and rapidly than was possible
with the hands, producing great
friction and heat much quicker and
with much less exertion. We can
imagine we see him-a great,
brawny, hairy man, with bit Of a
goatskin for clothes-siitttiing cross
legged at the mouth Of his cave and
rigging up the first operative ma
chine that was to produce fire.
He must have procured a large
piece Of soft and dry dead wood and
followed a spot for the lower end
of the stick. Then putting this IN
der a slanting rock he must have
wedged another block of soft wood
above the stick.
Having fixed them solidly in place
by piling stones around them, he
would then take a turn of his bow
string around the stick and draw
it back and forth rapidly, securing a
blaze in a short time.
With what triumph he must have
viewed his work when the first Jet
of flame burst from the smoking,
charred mass that he had coaxed
into fiery existencel It is easy TO
picture him calling his family OF
followers about him to see his first
machine, perhaps half consumed in
the fire it had made, and explaining
its operations with enthusiasm
