To obtain fin by this method apiece
of steel, sudh as a file or msp, was
struck with a flint, ora bitof white
quarts from a granite ledge, and

• In Thibet Capt William Oul found
practiced a more scientific method
than any of these. The natives strike
a light by 'compressed air. Tho of>-
paratus used consists of a wooden
cylinders two and a half inches long
by ttyee-quartera of an inch diameter.
This is closed at one end, the base be
ing about the size of a quill pen: an
air tight piston fits into this with
large, flat knob at tho top. Tho other
end of the piston is slightly hollowed
oat and a very small piece of tinder is
placed in the cup thus formed.
To use this the cylinder is. held In
one hand, the piiton inserted and
'about half way down. Avery
pushedal
sharp blow is then given with the palm
of the hand on the top of the knob.
The hand must at tho same time closo
on tho knob and instantly withdraw
the piston, when tho tinder will bo
found alight. It requires skill to use
the apparatus as well os science to in

An Improved FtTo Escape.
A portable firo escape, constructed
with three systems of lazy tongs con
nected' together and arranged to be
elevated and lowered by a screw
mounted in the platform of a truck,
. hase been patented by Mr. Louis P.
Sooty, Of Clements, Kan. The plat
form on which the tongs ore mounted
has screws at its comers, whereby the
escape may be held upright or tipped
against the walls of'a building. The
tongs are united by a series or trian
gles, a set of lazy tongs being arranged
at each comer of the triangle, each set
bracing the others. A screw for ele
vating the system is mounted in the
center of the platform, a triangular
plate being attached at its qpraers to
the lowermost set of lazy tongs, and
having at its center an internally
screw threaded boss in which the screw
works, being operated by beveled gears
and crank shafts extending to the
ends of the track. By turning the
cranks the three sets of lazy tongs will
be rapidly elevated and by reversing
tile motion as rapidly lowered. At
the top of the lazy tongs is a platform
or cage on which persons may step
from the window of a building, and
be lowered to tho ground by turning
the cranks, or they may descend by a
rope ladder suspended from an aper
ture in the center of the cage.—Scien
