Nature had been forced to give an answer to a ques- tion. Kneeling on the floor beside a block of ‘wood with two charred holes on its surface was Mr. Hough.

When the re- porter entered Mr. Hough repeated the opera- tion, making the fire stick whirl in one of the cavities in the block by thrusting backward and forwards the bow, the string of which was turned once around the stick. In a few seconds smoke began to curl up from the point of con- tact and then the little pile of wood dust that accumulated about the point of the stick took e.
