In the course Of time it occurred
to some man that the smaller the log
the easier it rolled From this be-
ginning the log sections which were
the first wheels, were born; in India
today can be seen bullock carts, the
wheels of which are flat sections,
cuts from logs Mounting these
wheels on an axle" which was a
smaller tree, was true invention,
but the making and use of the first
wheel must have been pure discovery.
Road building, too, was discovery,
rather than invention. Early man
must soon have found out that heavy
loads sink into soft earth, and rather
than wait for the mud to dry, was
led to harden the roadbed by the first
means at hand. Whether this was
accomplished by the placing Of flat
rocks in the path of the first carts,
or covering the mud with boughs,
grass, branches Of trees (progenitors
Of corduroy roads,, history does not
say The Romans showed the world
what cut stone in courses could do
towards making permanent roads
1.-THE Appian Way is still useable
stone road and McAdam taught US
what crushed stone may do, but
these were but improvements upon
the original discovery,
It is long stretch Of years from
a log section to balIOn tires, from a
grase-covered path to a modern
cement, brick, macadamized., oiled
or tarred roadbed, but while these
modern implements are the very best
we know and the product Of the
brains Of many inventors, the origin
al means Of transportation they i'm
proved were not inventions, but dis
coveries Of means which nature had
placed ready for mans use.
