One of our pictures today is = of |spectal interest. It shows a device for sending arrows swiftly and true to the mark. The device is known as the 'cross- bow" and was used by the Romans two thousand years ago. The pic- ture {s taken from an engravmg ua a tomb of a hunter, At the center is a quiver he used for holding ar- IOWS. Notice the strap by which ft was slung over his shoulder. Good cross-bows are powerful weapons. The main: piece- of the Roman bow was so tough that the archer had to hold it to the ground with his feet when he pulled the string into place. : Once in place, the string was held: there by means of a notch. When the man wanted to fire tne arrow, he simply loosened the string. This meant much quicker work than with the older kind of bow. |1t was the nearest thing the _Ro- {mans had to a rifle, . | The other picture shows a batter- {ing ram. Perhaps you will be sur- | prised to know that the image of a ram's head was once used to batter down walls. People noticed that the ram was mighty good at "butting," so they jthought they would butt down the walls with a ram's head, made of metal and fastened to a beam, When soldiers attacked the city they tried to make a breach in the walls. If they had just walked uj with the battering ram, they would i -------- ~ PROBS: --Rain during the night and on Thursday. have been killed by men on top of the walks. t So the Romans bullt sheds which could be moved on rollers, There was a hole in front for the battering ram. Several soldiers would get in such a shed and push it to the attack. . When they reached the wall, they tried to batter it down with the metal head. They were safe inside the shed, but the head | went "smash, smash,"' against to. | A Roman cross-bow. A Roman battering ram, Néxt--NMoving Roofs of Shields. _- LEAVING FOR CHINA. Rev.
