SHIELDS AND BICYCLES.
The Proposed Grotesque Armament Of
British Soldiers.


The Proposed Grotesque Armament Of
British Soldiers.
If we may believe what we read, it
would seem to be proposed to arm the
British Infantry soldier with a shield.
The new implement covers, we are
told. surface of foot square, is war
ranted .bullet-proof, weighs three
pounds, and fixes on to the rifle very
much after the fashion of the bayonet
The idea, of course, is that our soldiers,
when thrown out as skirmishers, shall
carry their own cover with them; and
it is supposed that, by sticking the point
of the shield into the ground, they will
not only be protected while firing, but
will have a rest for their rifles. When
not in service it will be carried
slung under the arm. We must
confess that the suggestion reads
very much like hoax, and
runs on all fours with that other just
mooted that bicyclists are to be en-
ployed as scouts If the fighting is
all on turnpike roads, we can imagine
the vidette-on-castors getting along
without disaster for short time: but,
even then, rifle fired with accuracy
at his wheel would bring him down in
a most ruinous collapse. When the
machine is spinning along, no bullet
could ever pass through the spokes. and
the result would be catastrophe, instant
and complete In actual imitation Of
war. that is, across country. it could
not possibly be of any use, and the idea
of the cyclist-scout lifting his machine
over donga with Zulus after him. or
trying to get through the bush with
Arabs in pursuit, is too comical for
serious entertainment Hardly less
grotesque is the notion of the British
soldier with his three pounds of steel
plate at the end of his rifle lodging
about in skirmishing order.-LoaadoD

THE VALUE OF TREES.


why the Planting Of Fruit and Timber
Trees "a to he Considered u Profitable
Investment.
There can be little doubt that the
planting Of fruit and other trees in
Kansas, that thirty or more years ago
was almost destitute Of forests. has per.
ccptibly increased the rainfall there, and
will in time, perhaps, rcyolutionize the
climate Of that fertile State. We have
seen the statement made. on the author.
ity Of the Governor Of Kansas. that the
fruit trees which have been grown there
since 1880 exceed 10000, 600, and the
forest trees 200, 000 acres, many Of which
have been artiioially planted. There
are places in Kansas and some other
prairie States where protection of land
from lire will lead to the springing up
spontaneously Of forest growth, but the
State Government of Kansas has wisely
encouraged the planting Of forest tree,
on a large scale, and We presume tina,
