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 fire to warm their friends of
danger. Fire was also used to give light. Before the invention of the oil lamp, men used
burning sticks as torchs. And before man discovered gas and electricity, he hung small
fires in wire baskets from posts to light the 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
