Six Great Inventions

The editor of The Chieftain has been asked to name
the siS great inventions that have contributed most to
civilization, with the names of the inventors.
The word invention carries with it the idea of con-
struction and the discovery of natural law or sclcn
fc principle cannot be considered an invention un-
less there is also the application of the principle in
mechanical way to produce some thing that does not
exist in a natural form.
1t is of course impossible for any to say arbi-
rary that any six named inventions have contributed
most to human progress. The comparative value of in
ventons is largely matter of opinion, and there is no
established standard by which such values could be
measured. In q general way, however, 1t may be SAID
that the inventions that have contributed most to human
progress are of two classes first those that involve
first step along some previously unexplored avenue of
progress and second those that involve general prln
cipc whose application gives rise to many inventions
belonging in the group.
An illustration of the first kind of invention is to
found in the wheel and it may fairly be said that
the inventor of the wheel of the greatest bene-
factors of the human
An illust ration of the second class group IN
vcntion that of the lens, result of which we have
the microscope the telescope the spectroscope and many
other instruments OF hlShest Dehenl secohu
class also belongs the invention of the electric magnet
which has made possible the telegraph, the telephone
and electric motors of all kinds.
The invention of the bow in its primitive form or
the application of the force of sprncng wood for the
propulsion of missile, is commonly regarded as one
of the most important primary inventions. Other IN
venons of this class the magnetic compass which
was known the Chinese 1854 years before Christ and
the making of glass, which practced in Egypt as
earlv as 1000 B. c. The former of these the basis
of navigation and of surveying and the latter has been
of inmeasurable benefit in innumerable ways The max
ing of a boat, probably from hollow log, the weaving
cloth from the leaves stems of grass the making
of sharpcned stick or stone a cutting piercing
Implement examples of other primitive inventions,
and in all these the of the original inventors
unknown.
Among modern inventions that of movable types
for printing and the engine generally consid
cred of first Importance and with these the invention
of sunpowder is sometimes cassed The cotton gin,
machine for removing cottonsecd, is regarded being
of the important in its effects upon American
history and development OF recent date arc the
acropane, the gasoline engine, and the submarine boat
Many inventions OF extreme simplicity, and the
most complicated of them all is said to be modern
batteship taken as a whole.
To choose from all these inventions six those
that have contributed most to civilization is not possible
