THE FIRST FIREMEN.
Of the discovery of fire there is not any record. Though it has sometimes been affirmed that certain tribes of savages were ignorant of its use, all evidence goes to prove that there never existed a race or family of men, within t *? l e historic period, to whom the use of fire was entirely unknown. Lord Lubbock was forced to the conclusion that it cannot be satisfactorily proved there is at present, or has bee« within historical times, anv race of men entirely ignorant of fire.”
