To TAME A. SAVAGE 13 oLL.—Erasmus Galson, of
Lorton Manor House, near Cross, Somersetshire, has invented
a most valuable, though, at the same time, simple instru-
ment to prevent savage bulls from injuring persons or ani-
mals. Mr. G. has communicated his clever invention to the
Royal Agricultural Society, with the following remark :—" I
turned a three-year old savage bull with a cow into a pad-
dock, and also turned a yearling bull with them ; in a few
minutes the young bull found that he was master and
punished the old one severely; and I was shortly after able
to take off the irons, and as long as I had him he never
offered to hurt a person, although when I bought him he had
tossed several persons, and was sold to me as incurable." The
instrument is made of a small iron rod and chain, the chain
end being fastened to a ring in the bull's nose, and the rod
hanging on a pivot fixed in an iron cap on the bull's horn.
The end of the rod projects some inches from the horn, and
whenever the animal attempts to toss, the end of the horn
coming in contact with any object is forced upwards or
downwards, and the bull's nose drawn up, by which the ani-
mal is severely punished, and incapacitated through pain,
from committing mischief. Any blacksmith can make the
instrument, and its cost is not above five shillings.
THE CLOWN AND THE CRITIC.—A celebrated
clown once produced on the stage a rusty old sword. "This,"
said he, "is the sword with which Balaam smote his ass."
One of the audience replied, " I thought he had no sword; flirt
only wished for one." " You're right," rejoined the clown,
and this is the very sword he wished for.
