HISTORY OF

Do you know that only a compar.
atively few years ago, our forefath-
ers were roasting their meat upon
spits irons set up on q large flat
stone In the middle of the floor. on
which wood fire was kindIed. The
smoke from this crude fireplace or
hearth. circled around the room
and finally after leaving a large
quantity Of SCOT on the rafters 1t
found its way out through hole In
the top Of the roof, or through a
hole high up in the wall which serv-
ed the double purpose of chimney
and window. At night this fire was
covered with the curfew to either
extinguish It or to make It burn very
slowly.
Upon the advent Of the second
story, 1t was necessary to place the
hearth against the wall and let the
smoke run up the wall to hole near
the ceiling. At this time another
stone was added to the fireplace.
to keep the fire from burning the
wall. Some elaboration of the dogs
and irons were made. and valua-
BILE invention was made. This inven-
ton was bracket on the wall that
would hold kettle over or off the
fire by swing horizontally.
The hole in the wall was lowered
and served as a flue to a chimney
Over this flue was placed a wrought
iron hood. to catch the smoke. This
arrangement made It possible fol
some enrichment Of the interior de.
corations.
Finally 1t was discovered that tho
hole could be placed very near the
floor and that by enlarging the open
