An ingenious ..Fire Box.y

A very simple but nevertheless eff fec<ive method of making fire is nsed in skbaS @faxszsszEHssasfRjns,, in Dutch North New Guinea The natives cut 6 section of bamboo. usually about nine inches long by two inches in di- ameter, and into this are put supply of finder and a small fragment of any thing hard, preferably piece of china if the natives can get hold of it. The finder is covered from the wet by a piece of bark. and the fire box'' is then ready for use whenever it is wanted. To get light the native merely takes
 the piece of china and a lump of tim der between his thumb and first fin gers then, holding the bamboo in his left hand, he strikes its surface sharp ly with the china causing a spark. which soon ignites the, finder. Even fhe white man soon acquires the knack of doing this and the process is much
 more effective and infinitely less Iabori- 0us than the usual method of produc- fng fire by friction--Wide World Mag az5ne. 1
