Du Chaillu tells us

nothing further to be desired. that, some three years ago, he met in his journeyings with a tribe of Africans who had never seen a white man. He asked to see how they made fire. One of them accordingly squatted down, and worked away at the fire-sticks until the perspiration dropped from him. Then another came to his aid, and at length a little smouldering spark was obtained. Du Chaillu took out his tiny box of Vesuvians, and in a moment produced a cascade of flame! The astonishment of the poor Ashangos was beyond measure. They trembled all over, and became speechless. They would have fallen down and worshipped him, as a god of fire! What unnumbered ages of social progress did that lucifer match symbolise! And how much of that progress has been achieved in our time, and even in our own land!
