editDescriptionHistory of Inventions USNM 03 Making Fire by Friction.jpg |
English: California Indian making fire by friction. — California Indian man, dressed in native costume, in the act of procuring fire by means of the fire drill. The heat generated by the friction of the wood is communicated to the dust ground off during the operation, causing it to ignite. This process is, perhaps, the earliest method of procuring fire by artificial means. Hupa, Athabascan stock, California. |
