THE HEALTH OF THE PRIMATE.
The latest bulletin issued as to the health of the Arch-
bishop of C.Lnterbury is cheering. It was issued on Tucs
day afternoon, and runs as follows:
" Broadstairs, Jan. 4, 1870.

"The Archbishop of Canterbury still continue 3 to make
satisfactory progress.—Onimam E. WALTER, THOMAS E.
RIVEN."

NEW WAR IMPLEMENTS.
It is not only in Europe that spade drill for the troops
has its advocates. In America the feeling that burrow-
ing will henceforth be raised to the dignity of a mili-
tary operation has, the Pall Mall Gazette observes,
found expression in a new bayonet, which is designed
to serve also as an entrenching tool. The bayonet
is shaped like a sharp-pointed trowel ; and would,
na doubt, be useful either for offensive or defen-
sive purposes. A very nasty wound might be in-
flicted with this disagreeable-looking piece of steel, which
in trained hands might also, no doubt, be turned to good
account for entrenching. It is not intended that the
" trowel-bayonet" should be used as a trowel when fixed
to the gun, on account of the injury to the barrel which
such a use might occasion. It is so shaped that it may be
handled as an implement apart from the gun, and is in-
tended to be so used. It is no part of our duty to
pronounce an opinion upon the value of this weapon,
which, we have been informed, has actually been adopted
to some extent in America. We are disposed to think,
however, that if a bayonet is to serve more purposes than
ono, it is better to adopt a construction like that proposed
for the future equipment of the British soldier, namely, a
saw-sword-bayonet, and to leave the entrenching business
to a separate tool. In connection with this subject we
may mention that some experiments have recently been
made in India to test the practical value of a .proposition
made by a British officer, Captain Harcourt, 102 d Fusi-
liers. Captain Harcourt proposes to furnish each soldier
with a trowel and a sandbag. When not required for
use the sandbag would be carried empty, neatly
rolled up; when the regiment was required to
entrench itself, each man would fill his sandbag
and lie down behind it. The bag is stated to have proved
impenetrable to an Enfield rifle bullet fired at it from a
distance of fifty yards ; a man lying down behind it is
concealed from an infantry soldier at 100 yards, and from
a cavalry soldier at 150 yards. It was found that four
inexperienced men, with their trowels and sandbags (in
addition to their rifles), could fill their bags and cover
themselves, on hard ground with short stubbly grass,
in five minutes. On a second occasion, the same men
- covered themselves in three minutes. Probably two
minutes or less would suffice, with a little training; and
the sandbag has this great recommendation, that if
it is desired that a regiment should change front, or
slightly advance or retire, it could carry its cover with
it. The suggestion is one which appears worthy of con-
sideration.
