ELASTIC HoRsE GEAR.-We find in
the columns of contemporary some
accounts of recent experiments 10 de-
termine :he exact advantage of elastic
attachments, or connections between
ho:ses and the loads they draw.
Spiral springs and india rubber were
the materials used, and 1t was found
that the economy of force effected in
continuous movement of the load
was seventeen per cent. of that requir-
ed in dead pull that Is, with
the inelastic attachments in common
use. But if an elastic connection be-
tween power and resistance gives in
creasing effect 10 the former, ought
not ten pound weight suspended TO
steelvard by an eight ounce elastic
strap 10 register somewhat more than
ten pounds and eight ounces? The
examples are not really analogous the
power N both eases are continuous, but
in hat of the horse and load ii is not
GnitOrm il IS succession of partial
stopping and starting, and It is IA
miliar trnth in mechanics that q given
power will more easily overcome the
inertia of body at rest if gradually,
than if suddenly applied. That lhe
advantage Of the elastic attachment Is
IN the gradual application it makes
of the animals power III Successive I'M
pulses accelerating a mo ion success
lively diminished L. clear from another
result Of the experiments with elastic
attachments. 1t WAS found that the
saving Of power in starting the load
when quite at rest was twenty per
cent. Where motion is both conrin-
uous and uniform, like that of rail
way tram. for example, elastic coup
lngs could have no effect in ecoBomrZ
ing power except at each starting
The subject seems to lis well worthy
of attention from those practically IN
terested, but if the horse expects 10
reap any benefits from confirInatOry
experiments be will iind himself mis-
taken; he will have merely The satis
faction of being more useful by draw
