The affections of a horse are not Inferior to big intellectual qualities; and. especially If made a pet be remembers him for years. But bis affection is different from that of a dog. which continues to love bis master, even though the latter abuses bim greatly. Roug'i, unkind treatment will quickly estrange the affection of a horse. Good horse sense discovers no particular reason why a horse should be devoted to a master who habitually maltreats bim. The Intellect and affections of a horse point out two things so Important to a trainer that be munt bear tbern in mind until they become fixed habits of thought: 1.?Never, under any circumstances, allow/ a horse to successfully opttose bis will to yours.

The receiver of 1 the telephone is placed on the head of the oi*rator, and the patient is placed 1 in the usual manner, in contact with 1 It piUlt*, I ill* griitTUi uiruiuui being a wet sponge or souu> pajier sat- 1 united with a malice solution, which Is 1 spread over the plate. The latter is connected with a telephone by wire, ' and the prohe. after it ban been introduced into the body, vibrates an soon ' as the foreign metallic substance comes 1 in contact with it. The prohe is also 4 connected with the telephone by a wire, and thus no much blunder is pog- 1 sible as sometimes happens when the ordinary battery is used. When a telephone is used in this way, the plate ' acts as one pole and the probe as the j other. Needles. bullets, grains of shot and pieces of steel and copper have 1 been easily located by use of this simple method. The only instances when the telephone does not work sat. isfactorily are when the objects to be , located are of the same metal as the , probe.
