SHOWED SKILL AS ENGINEERS
Ancients Did Remarkable Work Con.
sidering the Limited Mechanical
Means at Hand.

That ancient Greek and Roman en-
gineers were ingenious as we'll as
skillful is proved by the works that
are still extant, for instance when the
Eupalinos, island of Samos, water.
works mentioned by Herodotus were
constructed in the middle of the Sixth
century B. c., a tunnel about one mile
long was driven through the KastrO
mountain, certainly respectable
achievement when one considers the
limited mechanical means at the dis
posal of the builders. From the books
Of the Alexandrian mathematician
Heron, one sees that ancient engineers
knew how to figure beforehand the
direction of tunnel. The fine medical
instruments, of which many have been
excavated, give evidence Of high me-
chanical skill. Ancient instrument
makers manufactured clepsydras (wa-
ter clocks) that could be carried in
pockets and devices used by Hero.
philos to measure the temperature Of
patients. The present-day slot machine
and taximeter are limitations of sim
liar ancient inventions. Even to bal
listic war machines ancient people ap-
piled ideas which play an important
part in modern warfare-the "poly-
bon" being in a certain meaning, the
predecessor of our repeating arms. and
the "monankon," of the mine thrOwer.
