sent him to prison for ten years at
Paris, depriving him of all books or
writing materials, and thereby doing
everything in its power to block flu.
turc civilization.
The pope at last ordered him set free.
He hurried back to Oxford, where, in
lectures and books, he fiercely de-
nounced the ignorance and monk-rid.
den stupidity of his time. He also
put forth new philosophy which
pointed to higher, saner life; and
resumed work on his inventions.
Foremost among these inventions
was the formula for gunpowder.
Combustibles of various sorts hao
been in use from time to time, prin.
cipally in the orient, since before the
beginning of the Christian era. Crude
explosives had even been hurled by
hand or from catapults in battles and
at sieges. This custom had been com.
mon among the Arabs for centuries.
For in the early days, all civilization
and invention came from the east. Cul
ture and progress were rife in India
China and Arabia at time when
Europe was cropping in the darkness
of semi-barbarism.
But there can be little doubt as t.
Bacon's devising real gunpowder in
dependent of these earlier discoveries.
He found that equal quantities of
u.. ,:. saltpeter, charcoal
'"s oe.ossy " and sulphur formed
So high explosive
1t was not long before cannons OF
wood, bound with iron hoops, or OF
leather, bound with ropes, were in
use. These were easily sufficient to
resist the expansion of such powder
as Bacon had invented. Iron balls OF
great stones were the projectiles. The
flower of chivalry found they could
make scant Roadway against such mis-
siles, which smashed the stoutest
armor like eggshells. Thus the per.
secuted Roger Bacon struck a death
blow to feudalism and other outworn
'chivalric" customs. He also, indi.
rectly, aided progress by decreasing
the frequency with which wars were
waged. For powder, as it improved,
called for more intricate guns, and
these at last so increased the cost of
war as to render it no longer thing
to be entered upon, as before, at any
slight provocation.
Bacon's a.dacious writings and lee
lures caused the church once more to
imprison him-this time for Ia years
and to burn most of his writings
(including formula for prolonged
life) and his inventions. Soon after
his second release he died-poor, dis.
graced, stunned as sorcerer-at the
age of 80. His was the double crime
of seeking TO help humanity and of
living GOO years too soon.

awaited him. No one would take up

A Franciscan monk, Roger Bacon
| ny name, in the middle of the thir.
| teenth century, found himself in grave
danger of being burned to death as a
sorcerer. He had devised and de.
scribed many things which, according
to the orthodox theology of his time,
implied black magic and undue &C
9uaintanceship with Satan.
For instance, he declared that by
grinding charcoal, saltpeter and sui
phur and mixing them in equal quaint.
ties force would be generated which,
| when set afire, would rival the thun-
ders and lightnings of the heavens.
This powdered mixture placed in a
cylinder would also propel a ball of
iron some distance and at unheard of
velocity. Followers of Bacon called
the substance gunpowder. The monk
also showed that by placing lenses in
certain position toward each other,
or by grinding them in peculiar ways,
they would magnify objects seen
through them. This, like gunpowder,
savored of magic; so the perfecting of
telescope and spectacles was, by
churchly decree, forced to wait until
later and saner century.
The calendar and the modes of
computing time in vogue in the thir-
teenth century was ludicruously mad
equate. Bacon, by his knowledge of
astronomy, worked out true method
of compiling calendars, but this, too,
was frowned upon. His genius was
even constructing what promised to
be practical flying machine, when
all Italian who was laboring on SIM
liar invention was burned at the
stake as a magician. This put stop
to Bacon's experiments in flying and
delayed the airship and dirigible bal
loon for another half thousand years.
Roger Bacon was born of an impov-
erished noble family in 1914. He was
graduated at Oxford and went to
Paris. which was then the center of
