ancients on account of its flame, its
noise, and its rending force; but their
limited mechanical skill could suggest
very little use for II.
Possibly it was used IN warfare long
before the beginning of history; but the
first man in historical times TO form an
idea of the terrible destruction which
this awful, bursting, fiery substance
might produce was an English monk
named Roger Bacon Monks, in his
day, were the chemists, scholars and
writers of the world; and this Roger
Bacon travelled and studied much, and
made continual experiments in his
laboratory to prove for himself and to
develop what he learned from others
He probably saw gunpowder among
the Moors in Spain. and tried for him
self its explosive effect. Then he wrote
OF its composition in the year 1857, and
in his writing suggested that it could
be used in engines of war to deal death
and destruction to armies Of men
Soon after Roger Bacon's time bis
suggestions were taken up and guns
were constructed first by binding iron
bars together with hoops TO form q
tube, then by casting a tube out Of
brass, with one end closed. Stones of
suitable size were selecred as shot and
the powder had to be carried around
IN chests or barrels and shoveled into
the muzzles of the gums. the stones b.
ing rolled in after it In spite of these
drawbacks very large guns were built,
for there was one used by Mahomet IL
against the Greeks at the siege of Con-
stantinople in 1453 which threw a stone
weighing 600 pounds g distance of one
mile.
