HOW SAVAGES GET VIM mut.
Various savages have different
methods of kindling fires. In Neev Hole
land. a po:nted stick is twirled bptween
the palms of the hand until the vioott
on which it stands begins to smoke,
and at last breaks into flame. Other
savages obtain a. spark by sticking
pile bit of wood upright in the eurth,
elating a slit in it lengthwise, in
which they rub another bit of wool,
with a protruding piece until H
flames. The most ingenious enethcel is,
however, that followed by the inhab-
itants of Western Madagascar. These
use a string of animal hide, by whiela
they twirl the upright stick rapidly
and hasten the fire lighting. To us
who have merely to strike a match
under the knantelpieee the value of
fire is little appreciated, but suppose
that we were caught in the wilder-
ness without a match, how wouldwe
go about lighting the fire to warm
ourselves or cook our food?

sent problems which eeene almost
hopelees of solution to an inexperie,nc-
ed, player. There are chess clebs,
