Portable StoUe Was
Ben Frankl;n's Idea

The first stoves were simply hot
stones. In using his flint knife, man
evidently discovered that stone held
heat, and soon he was utilizing his
discovery. Huge round stones have
been fo&Ed which appear tn lave been
used for purposes of cooking food.
Some are fiat, some concave. A large
pot of later period has been found
containing several smooth, round
stones. 1t is believed that early man
heated water by dropping hot stones
into 1t. In early times the fire was
built In the center of the cave and for
a long time the cook occupied the
center of the home. But later the fire
was moved TO the side of the home
to supply draughts and TO lead smoke
and fumes ont of the house were in
troduced. Closed stoves of brick or
porcelain tile have been I'm use In
Holland, Russia, Germany and other
northern countries of Europe since the
stoves were known in Alsace as early
as 1430. hut they did not come into
general use until considerably later.
For many generations the brick and
tile stoves were in use. The early
American scolonists did their cooking
in open f1replaces. They had large
swinging cranes on which to suspend
pots. In 1874 Benjamin Franklin in.
vented the portable fireplace of iron.

Earliest Clocks Not
Provided With Dials

The first clock of which there is
any authenic record was invented by
Richard de Wallingford, abbot of st.
Adams, in 1896. Ii was known to be
going In the time of Henry VIII.
Some early clocks had no dials, 80
people had To wait until the hour was
struck to learn the time. When dials
were first introduced they only had
one hand and only marked the hours.
Later the hours were divided into
quarters and Jacks" or mechanical
figures, struck the bells
One of the earliest pocket watches
known belonged TO Oliver Cromwell,
says a writer in the Neurological
Journal This was made i'm 1926 by
John Midnall, and was about the size
and shape of an ostrich egg.
At that period watches became very
fashionable and were often carried In
the hand. There were no watch
glasses. and shutter arrangement
was used.
