Synopsis
Excerpt from Electricity Uncovers a Law of Evolution
Much more worthy of remark and celebration than repeating a familiar task for its wonted recompense, is the reaching a gift wholly new and priceless by continuing one's paces far beyond an ordinary excursion, by showering blows long after they cease in ordinary toil. Here the supreme example is the kindling of fire. At first flame was enjoyed by primitive man only in its bestowals by accident. A lightning blast setting a grove ablaze, and roasting hapless birds and brutcs whose fiesh was found delicious; or the welcome glow of lava streaming from a volcano, granted him boons simply golden. Flame meant comfort in winter, light between sunset and dawn, protection against wild beasts at night, the giving f0ud a new savor and keeping quality. All these were among the earliest human wants; it may be assumed that they were among the first to be satisfied.
