HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF SCIENCE
Proof That Savage Tribes Are Pos
sessed Of More Than Rudimentary
Ideas About Known Facts.

While lecturng on atoms at the
Royal institution Sir Joseph Thomson
alluded to an extraordinary method for
obtaining fire that was practiced by at
least two savage tribes-a method in
which compressed air was used. says
the London Standard.
Sir Joseph had just been explaining
how intense cold could be produced by
suddenly expanding air and how equal
| ly intense heat could be caused by
compressing it. "It is one of the most
extraordinary things in connection
with the habits of savage races" he
continued that at least two tribes
use this method to get fire. 1t is an
extremely difficult problem to know
how ever they got hold of the idea.
| am quite sure they did not obtain it
from lectures on physics, so it must
have come from some kind of praCti-
cal experience"
Even with special apparatus It was
not easy to accomplish this feat IN a
laboratory. One could easily under
stand how men had discovered that
branches rubbing together sometimes
caught fire. This would give the idea
highly complex an operation as max
ing fire by Compressing air could hard
ly have been copied from any natural
phenomenon.
The only thing he could think Of was
that these tribes must have been aC-
Customed to shoot their arrows from
blowpipes. If one of these wooden
tubes got obstructed it was conceiv-
able that vigorous cfrorts/o disodge
the obstruction would cause the blow
pipe or some part Of it to take fire.
The larger part OF the lecture was
taken up by an explanation of the vari-
GUS ways in which atoms had been
counted and the wonderful agreement
between the results obtained by diff
ferent methods. The figures are ama2-
ing. Two grams (about thirty graInsD

that no ordinary nomenclature can be
used in expressing the number. II put

means that a cubic Centimctcr Of gas

Even these gigantic numbers are ex-
ceeded by the number of ultimate cor
pusCles in the same volume Of gas. No
perfectly reliable measurements have
yet been made, but Sir Joseph stated
