Da Vlnel Thought of Tank.
Italy hns Just celebrated the fourth
centenary of I.oonnrdo dn Vinci's
doNlh. Ills name hns heen often men
tioned during tho war nnd his prophet
ic gonliis recalled. It Is known tlmt
he Intended to build nlrplunes for wur
purest, hut It ts now claimed nlso
that he was the llrst to think of the
tank. In his letters to II Moro he
spunks of armored cars which could
shelter tho occupants and drlvo right
amongst tho enemy's musses, slnylng
nnd hhntleriug nil opposition. It Is
unfortunate that more Is not known
of Leonardo's Intentions, nnd of tho
way In which he proposed to propel his
craft. Horses might possibly lmvo
been Intended, for If n horse could
carry less weight thnn the armored
motor, protection In those days was
more easily got thnn now. Hut It ts
certainly very singular to read that his
cars were to chnrgo ahead while tho
Infantry would follow behind for this
Is exactly what happened four hundred
years uftcr his death.
