THE JUNGLE DWARF

IN the Malay jungles Carveth Wells, explorer
found dwarf with remarkable invention.
The dwarf-a little. coffee -coored chap-was one
OF the lowest forms OF human life, nearly as low as
the dog eating lgorots OF Luzon were generation
ago before the coming OF the white man.
This dwarf had fire making tool. 1t was a bone
punger with leather washer TO make it air-tight.
This punger was inserted in piece OF hollow bone
closed at end.
The dwarf carried pouch made from the cocoon
of jungle moth In this pouch he had supply OF
tinder, dried vegetable powder-fiber.
He placed tiny bit OF the tnder on the end
of the plunger put the plunger in its bone holder
struck it one sharp blow. Pulling out, the tinder
was afire.
This process, the reverse OF vacuum, causes
combustion by the compression OF air.
The Jungle dwaris invention is the same prn-
cple as the famous Disel engine, which generates
heat by compression.
The jungle dwaris OF Malaysia probably have had
this bone fire-maker for thousands OF years.
Yet it never occurred to them apply the prin-
ciple in 1898.
He was quick to see its possibilities in the gene
rating OF power.

Malay Jungle dwarf was largely OF imagination
