An INGENIOUS "Fire Box

A very simple but nevertheless ell
tectire method Of making fire Is used
in the Arfak mountains, in Dutch
North New Guinea. The natives cut
a section Of bamboo, usually about
nine inches long by two inches In d.
sneter. and into this are put supply OF
tinder and small fragment OF any
thing hard, preferably piece OF china
if the natives can get hold Of It The
tinder Is covered from the wet By a
piece Of bark, and the "ire box" is then
ready for use whenever 1t is wanted.
To get light the native merely takes
the piece Of china and a lump OF tin
der between his thumb and first fin"
ger; then, holding the bamboo in his
left hand, he strikes its surface sharp
" with the china. causing a spark,
which soon lgnites the tinder. Even
the white man soon acquires the knack
Of doing this, and the process is much
more effective and infinitely less labori-
Gus than the usual method Of produc-
ing FIRE by friction.-Wide World Mag
