The Box Tree.

The box tree, from sections of whose
trunk the blocks for engravers are made,
is found in marketable quantities on the
shores of the Mediterranean. 1t grows
very slowly, and seldom reaches more
than twenty feet in height, and the
pieces in commerce are seldom more than
five inches in diameter The increase of
illustrations is said to be causing rise
in the cost, and we may expect soon to
have a substitute which the engravers
will denounce as the invention of the
sons of Belial.-PhHddelphia Bulletin.

When the French troops made their
first and unsuccessful advance against
Scntay, some Importance was attached
by the special correspondents of the Eng
fish papers to the circumstance that the
Black Flags apparently fired low. 1t was
pointed out that most of the bullet
wounds received by the French soldiers
were found in the legs and lower parts
of their bodies. OF course, the practice
of firing low is one strongly urged upon
the troops, a shower of bullets being
much more effective if fired low, even if
it strikes the ground in front of the adj
vancing hostile forces, than it would if
sent into the air over the heads of the
approaching enemy. But a rather inter
esting explanation is given of the reason
why the Black Flags and their allies fire
low by one who has had a great
amount of experience with Chinese
troops. He says that the bulk of the
Chinese had no idea of the use of the
sights on the rifles, and it is almost use
less to attempt to teach them the use of
such contrivances. Thus, Chinese SOL
dicr armed with a modern rifle would
never think of raising the sight of his
weapon when he was called upon to use
it, especially in the face of an enemy
He would fire at an object six hundred
yards off with the sight down, the con-
sequence being that the muzzle of the
rifle not receiving the necessary elevation
to carry the bullet over long distance,
the ball would strike or descend very
close to the ground before it reaches its
destination. 1t was also asserted that
some of the Chinese soldiers actually
knocked the sights off their rifles as be
inc entirely useless.
