THE WHEELeARROW.


lts Age II Now Known to n u Least
six Hundred Years.
The history OF the heelbarrow Is Of
no great importance in itself, but IL
happens to illustrate well the sources Of
historical knowledge. and how they
yield tho facts men desire TO know.
The invention Of tho wheel barrow
has been credited commonly TO Pasacl.
French philosopher and writer Of
about the middle Of the seventeenth
century. According 10 Littrc's diction-
airy Of the French language. however,
the wheelbarrow was invented BY .
Mr.. Dupin in 1869. One or the other Of
these two accounts has been accepted
gcnerally-in France at least where
every useful invention Is believed to be
OF French origin.
Now writer in the French scientific
journal. La Nature, calls attention to
an old book printed in 1855. in which Is
curious wood engraving that repre-
sents a single wheeled barrow pushed
along BY a laborer. Another plate Of
running upon rails. This puts the usc
OF the whcelbarrow back more than a
hundred years earlier than the time Of
Pascal.
Last year. at the exhibition in Paris
OF carriages OF all kinds. 1t was reported
that the origin OF the wheel Harrow was
TO be found in the thirteenth century.
In the margin OF manuscript belong
ing to that time there is drawing OF :
man wheeling another person in a
single-whceled barrow precisely like
those in use at the present day.
In manuscript Of the fourteenth
century may be seen q wheclbarrow
used for the carriage OF load which
looks like bags Of grain. Another
miniature painting upon a manuscript
OF the fifteenth century represents .
hospital where nuns are attending to
the lame and wounded. There Is one
wounded person who is being brought
in on whcclbarrow. This indicates
that the vehicle was used to carry the
intirm or disabled
Still another fifteenth century manu-
script shows q whcclbarrow used for
moving building materials As the
picture is intended TO illustrate the
history Of Rome. the artist OF course
saw no want OF consistency in repre-
scnting this vehicle as In use at that
early period and who can say that IL
was not? The laborcr made the work
ali the easier by the use OF strap
which passed over his shoulders.
At present then, the wheelbarrow Is
known TO be at least six hundred years
old. and not two centuries. as was at
one time supposed. The next step Is to
show that William. the Conqueror, car
ricd wheelbarrows with him when he
moved his quarters across the chan mel
from Normandy to England in the
eleventh century. Companion.
