THE STRIDE OF A RACE HoRsE.-,Mr. j. f.
Herring ST., the celebrated animal painter, states
that a race horse will clear from twenty to TWEEN
tv four feet at bound, and from the impression
lett on the turf he infeis that horse ut full
gallon places only one foot at time on the
ground. This, he says is more convincing to
the ear thnn to the eye. In listening to a horse
gaoping ON a hard road it will be found accu-
ratel ~ exhibited by placing the little finger on a
table or pane of glass, and causing the other
three fingers to follow in rotation; by SO doing,
the precise sound of horse galloping will be
produced Then follows the bound, and again
the one two, three, four. in regular succession.

COMPRISING THE BULK OF FLoUR.-The Al
bany journal states that Louis Napoleon in 1853
conceived the idea that it would be practicable
TO compress -four so to diminish the bulk. and
in that way facilitate its transportation and yet
not injure its quality. In July OF that year. an
experiment was made by his COMMAND to test his
views. Flour. subjected to hydraulic pressure
of 300 tones. was reduced in volume more than
"a per cent. On close examination. it was found
10 pos.ess all the qualities it had previous to its
violent treatment. 1t was then put into zinc
boxes and and sealed up. At the same time.
other -four manufactured from the same wheat.
but not compressed. was sealed up. In October
thereafter. several boxes containing both kinds
of -four were opened and examined. The pressed
was pronounced to be the best. Twelve months
after this in October, 1854, another examination
took place. and with the same result. The two
kinds were then knocked into loaves and baked.
The pressed -four mace the the best bread. In
march, 50, more Of the zinc boxes were opened,
and on examination the loose -four showed moul-
dincss. while the pressed was sweet and retained
all its qualities Made into bread, the same
differences were observable.
