A WONDERFUL INVENTION.
The Bow and Arrow of the Red Man
Contrived in His Prim-
tive Stage

Another test of mental ability which
deserves special notice IS mechanical IN
eenuity. Our white prominence owes
much TO this faculty. and the lower races
are reckoned defective in it. But the
lower races do invent, and it is doubtful
whether one invention is ever mucn
more difficult than another, says ProI-
w. /. Thomas. in the Forum On the
psychological side. an invention means
that the mind sees 2 roundabout way OF
reaching directly. Ii brings into play
the associative memory. and involves
the recognition OF analogieS- There Is a
certain likeness between the flying back
OF a bougn in ones face and the rebound
OF a bow. between a serpent's tooth and
a poisoned arrow, between floating tim
Der and raft or boat; and water, steam
and electricity are like horse in one
respectfully will all make wheels go
around and do work.
Now. the savage had this faculty OF
seeing analogies and doing things in in
direct ways With the club, knife and
sword he struck more effectively than
with the fist: with hooks, traps. nets and
pitfalls he understood how TO seize game
more surely than with the hands; in the
bow and arrow, spear, blowgun and
spring-trap he devised motion swifter
than that OF his own body; he protected
himself with armor initiated from the
hides and scales of animals, and turned
their venom back on themselves. That
the savage should have originated the
inventive process and carried it on sys-
tematically is indeed more wonderful
than that his civilized successors should
continue the process; for every begin
ming is difficult.
When occupations become specialized
and one set of men has continually 10 do
with one and only one set of machinery
and forces. the constant play Of atten-
ton over the limited field naturally re-
suits in improvements and the intro
duction of new principles. Modern in
ventions are magnificent and seem quite
to overshadow the simpler devices OF
primitive times; but when we consider
the presidents. copies. resources and
accumulated knowledge with which the
modern investigator works. and. on the
other hand. the resourcelessness u
primitive man in materials. ideas, and in
the inventive habit itself. confess that
the bow and arrow seems to me the
most wonderful invention in the world.
