LET US go farther. Maybe we
shall like it better still
Picture in your mind these men
as they went where the fire had
been. One of them caught sight OF
stick that was still burning a lit
tie.
He ran and picked it up, by a
part that was not ablaze. He found
that the fire did not hurt him if he
kept away from the flame. The
two men carried the burning stick
out of the forest.
Some distance from the forest,
let us suppose that the man who
held the blazing stick burned him
self. He dropped it quickly. To his
surprise, he saw that the fire spread
to other sticks or dry grass at the
spot it had been dropped.
The way to keep a fire going
was discovered
With this new knowledge, they
carried a flaming stick to the
camping place and built a fine
fire!
After that they had to keep adj
ding fuel to the fire night and day,
lest it should 90 out.

FORESTS GIVE MEN FIRE

How do you suppose people learn
ed to use fire? 1t was probably by
reason of accident and curiosity.
Did you know that hundreds OF
forest fires every year are started
by lightning? 1t is through forest
fires that early men are believed
to have found what fire was like.
Before they knew about tire,
what do you suppose they thought
a forest fire was? They must
have taken it for a terrible mon
ster that belched smoke and flame.
How frightened they must have
been when they saw such fire!
They ran with all their might and
didn't stop until they were so tired
they dropped.
They were afraid of that terrible
monster" and who can blame
them?
Yet in every human being there
Is what we call curiosity" Some
man became curious about this
monster which ate up whole forests.
After running away from fire,
he went back to see what it was
really like.
Near the forest edge, he paused,
The fire was almost out-only here
and there was a flicker of light.
Suddenly the man found he had be-
come warm. He enjoyed the new
feeling.
Other men had doubtless follow
ed him back to see what would hap
pen to him. He shouted to them
something that meant good"
A few of them came up and join
ed him. They also felt the warmth
and liked it. One man said:
