Synopsis

Excerpt from The Dominion Educator

Box-el'der, the ash-leaved maple, a small but beautiful tree of the United States. The tree grows rapidly almost anywhere, and accordingly it is a favorite shade tree. The wood is soft and brittle, but is used in making bowls, pails and wood pulp, and as a fuel.

Boxer rebellion, an outbreak in China in 1901 against foreigners. After the chino-japanese War of 1894 - 1895 the Euro pean powers secured for themselves so many commercial and territorial concessions that a large number of Chinese began to fear that the nation would lose its independence. Feeling against the foreigners grew steadily, and by 1900 much was heard of the Boxer organization, a body of volunteer Chinese soldiers. Boxer was an incorrect translation of the Chinese name of the organization, which really meant Fist of Righteous Har mony.
