Tomorrow’s Atomlo Artillory
Holr to Catapult, Cannon
Atomic artillery shells, forecast
lay U.S. military leaders for the
near future, will give the most
powerful punch ^ver known to an
ancient arm of warfare.
The atom’s man-made thunder
clap is still young; July 16 this
year will mark only the sixth an
niversary of the first explosion at
Alamogordo, New Mexico. But the
science of artillery, traced through
many centuries in a report by the
National Geographic Society, is as
old as the earliest engines of battle.
From the chariots of Assyrian
spear-throwers came wooden-
wheeled ballistas—huge mechanical
crossbows shooting darts or stones
as far as 400 yards. Catapults used
the strength of twisted thongs to
fire whole volleys of arrows simul
taneously.
Water-jet siphons in the bows of
ancient galleys hurled Greek fire—
ancestor of the deadly napalm jelly
of UN airmen in Korea. Hie long-
armed trebuchet of the Middle Ages
lofted great boulders into besieged
cities while iron capped battering
rams opened fortress walls, as big
guns were later to do.
Gunpowder and the first metal
cannon sounded the death volley for
medieval crossbow and longbow at
the Battle of Crecy in 1846. The
first missiles were Improvised ar
rows, iron darts wrapped with
leather to lessen leakage of powder
gases. Solid shot carved from stone
or cast in iron, bronze or lead
soon followed, to remain for 500
years as the cannon balL
Daredevil gunners mixed their
crude powder on the battlefield.
Generals aimed their guns in per
son, as Joan of Arc is said to have
done in 1428.
Word Experts
The average high school senioi
in America has a larger vocabulary
than William Shakespeare used in
all of his published writings! Ac
cording to experts, “the average
high school senior has a total vo
cabulary of approximately 80,000
words, made up of about 46,500
basic words and an estimated 83,500
derived words.” They point out
that “various scholars (who have)
counted the number of different
words used by great writers in all
of their published works, have found
the total number for Shakespeare,
to be 15,000 (basic) words.” Total
vocabulary for children of other
school grades, including basic and
derived words, is given by Dr. Sea
shore and Mrs. Bell as follows:
first grade, 24,000 words; third
grade, 44,000 words; fifth grade,
51,000 words; sever,th grade, 55,00fl
words; ninth garde. 62,500 words;
and eleventh grade, 78,000 words,
Basic vocabulary for the four-year-
old has been estimated, on the
basis of recent studies, at 0,500
words.
