An important change has been made in the rifle practice in the, United States army by the substitution of elliptical for circular targets. This has been introduced because the chief object of army marksmanship is not to make a big record so much as it is to make good line shots. The number of envelopes manufactured yearly in the United Kingdom is estimated at 700,000,000, while, in the United States they amount to 2,500,000,000. If handlabour were compelled to do the work now done by machines in Bimply making envelopes, taking no account of the' printing done by some of them, the service would be required of 275,000 workpeople.
