ENGlAND'S BAYONET.
u Is New and Superior to Its Prede-
cessor as a Weapon.

|the ordr for the manufacture of
$4,000 new bayonets recently placed
ny the war office is one of the most
important given for some time AS is
well known there has long been dis
satisfaction with the type of army
payonet now in use, which, it is said
is lacking in thrusting power and is
generally inefficient as weapon of
war. glance at the new and the
present pattern will show at once the
great gain in thrusting power which
Is obtained by the new style. Apart
from an additional five inches in
length 1t is more formidable and
useful instrument from almost every
point of view than the present knife
bayonet.
One consideration which no military
expert can leave out of his calcula-
tions is what may be called the ia
ugue OF a bayonet In addition to the
grim purpose for which it is mainly
devised bayOnet should combine
with a minimum of weight and cum
bersomeness, a maximum of useful
ness for cutting away brushwood and
other rough hacking work. Here again
1t will be seen that the swordlike
shape Of the new weapon is infinitely
more practical than the daggerlike
form of its predecessor. To some eX-
tent the latest bayonet is a reversal
Of the old triangular bayonet pattern
and resembles the bayonet used by
the Japanese and French infantry.
Undoubtedly it is the best bayonet
OF any European pattern" said
manager of the firm before referred
to, when seen by representative Of
the Globe yesterday. 1T is longer
pattern blade and the design is an ex-
ceedingly good one. Its manufacture.
moreover, involves the most highly
skilled workmanship, as the harden
ing, tempering and grinding of the
steel is very careful performance.

it is far superior article to that
which is about to be discarded.
