Man discovered fire many thousands of years ago. The first time he saw

fire was probably when a tree struck by lightning. He soon learned how to
make fire for himself. However, man probably made his first fire by rubbing
two sticks together. Fire was very important to man. He needed fire to keep
himself warm at night. He used fire to cook his food. He used fire to frighten
away enemies and wild animals. In some parts of the world he used fire to
signal messages. Red Indians, for example, used fire to make smoke signals.
In some other countries, people lit fires to warn their friend of danger. Fire
was also used to give light. Before the invention of the oil lamp, men used
burning sticks as torches. And before man discovered gas and electricity, he
hung small wire baskets from posts to light streets. One man even used fire to
tell the time. He invented a candle clock. He made a candle that took exactly
twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal parts. He lit
the candle and could tell the time by counting the number of parts left of the
burning candle. But the candle clock did not always work well. If there was a
wind blowing on the candle, the flame burned too quickly.
