BARBED WIRE INVENTOR

John Calvin Merrill has recently +
passed away in Iowa, at the age of
eighty-four years. leaving the reputa- /
ton Of having invented barbed wire.
II this rumor does not do injustice to
his memory, he Will have much to an
swer for.
Think of the unhappy cattle that
have torn their flesh on this barbar- (
Gus wire! Think, also, of the small |
boys who have snagged their trousers
at inonportune times and places! How
often has q youngster been thus
caught and held, when otherwise ne
might have made his escape from
some garden or oerchard in which, &C
cording to the strict letter of the law.
he had no right to be? Even children
of larger growth, especially when
hunting, have found occasion to la
ment their lack of expertness in put
ting a three-foot width of figure
through a two-foot interval Of barbed
wire fence.
1t is worth while to consider the
unbelievable extent to which this ar
ticle Of peaceful husbandry was trans
formed, during the recent war into
means Of military defense. For
months the history Of the world war
was almost exclusively history OF
barbed wire entanglomenf. They
/ played their part UP to the very last.
! What would the inventor of barbed
wire, that rural protection against
/ straying cattle, have thought If ne
could have seen his invention con-
fNerted into the cause and the scene Of
the deaths of thousands?
After all. it was a simple aevice,
that of attaching series of harp
points 10 strands of fencing wire. No
mathematician can compute the tons
Of iron used anG the number of miles
Of wire made in supplying the varying
demands for the product since the
world made it's acquaintance fifty Two
years ago 1t has become one of the
earth's cherished possessions and viii
