A Valuable Discovery.

A man drawing a hand-cart, for ex-
ample, with a Topped strap over his
shoulder, and fixed to APPOINT within the
shafts-very common in Paris -displays
that strap or trace alternately tight and
slack; if he walks quickly, the tension
is abrupt; if he runs, a veritable shock
occurs at every step. These shocks,
whether in the case of a man or u horse,
are tho results of the intermittent eff
forts. Proceeding by jerks, the draught
is naturally accomplished by shocks.
The problem is, to make this traction
uniform instead of intermittent; this is
effected by the intervention of a spring,
whether of metal or India rubber, or
encased rings of both, between the trace
and the vehicle. The shock annihilates
the living force; the spring stores that
force and utilities it, and the man OF
the horse are no longer fatigued by in
convenient jerks. The experiments in
Germany confirm those already execut-
ed in France, that by the interposition
of an elastic trace, between the horse
and the wagon, 25 per cent. of the mo-
tive power is economical; in a word,
the quarter of a horse gained.

Loss of Battle Flags.

Perhaps one of the bitterest regrets
the officers and men of the Seventh
cavalry will have for the unfortunate
result of the battle of the Little Big
Horn will be the loss of their standards.
Gen Custer carried with him into ac-
ton on that occasion not only his old
division flag, but the rcgimental
standards, both of which were cap
tured by the Indians. In addition to
the division and regimental flags Gus
ter lost five guidons carried by the five
companies that were with him. Col.
Reno on his field lost three of the seven
guidons carried into battle. Nothingis
known of the fighting around Custer's
flags, but the battle on Reno's side
ragged ~fierccst wherever the smaller
tailed flags appeared. Again and
again the color sergeants were shot
down and their places Immediately
filled by others. Ate 1t one flag three
men were killed and wounded, but it
was at last borne of the field in safety.
Lieut.. DE Ruaio, seeing a troop flag
fall, d|ismounted and picked it up and
carried it away through volleys from
the Indian lines, but he afterwards lost
it in the timber, where it became en-
tangled in the branches of a tree, and
before he could loosen it the Indians
charged and captured it. For this bat
