The ancient catapult. Of which the
Austrians tried q modern version at
belgrade. was, strictly speaking. an
engine that threw darts-a sort OF
mschine-gun. The engine that threw
stones. weighing from two pounds up
to three hundredweight. was the ba'
lista. But the two terms were In time
confronted and loosely used. Accord
Ing to Josephus. the balista could
throw stones quarter Of mile. All
these machines were worked by twist

While most OF the automobiles are
purchased and operated for pleasure
purposes, the motor car is proving to
be something of an educator in that it
carries the driver and his passengers
into sections OF tue country that
would not otherwise come tinher their
observation. When one travels by
train he rarely sees more Of the coun-
try thah tho thickly settled centers
and his range Of observation, both Wis
ual and mental, is more or less re-
striGted. Hundreds of cars occupied
by persons who were making their
first trip into Bennington and probab-
~ in many cases, seeing Vermont for
the first time, have passed through
this village during the present season.
But for the automobile the larger per-
centage of these tourists would have
lived and died under the impression
that Vermont was a little out-ofthe-
way state in the cold corner of New
England, too remote and of too little
consequence to be worth visiting.
