Suspending Animation.

A long statement, purporting to be authen-
tic, reaches us from Queensland, by way of the
London papers-even the Times itself quoting
the article at length. The Brisbane Courier,
which attains unusual publicity in heralding
this remarkable discovery to the world, states
that certain Signor Rotura has hit upon a
method of freezing creatures alive and thaw-
ing them again, when wanted for use BY
the application of vegetable poison, life is
suspended, and to prevent decomposition the
animals operated on are placed in freezing
chamber
When revival is desired they are thawed
in warm bath, an antidOte is administered,
and the animal wakes up apparently none the
worse for its cold sleep. Signor Rotura, the
account says, has, with the aid of capitalist,
constructed works in Sidney harbor for the
purpose of utilizing his discovery. Here the
the writer states that he saw fourteen sheep,
four lambs and three pigs that had been frozen
alive for nineteen days. and were to be left in
the cold for three months more. One lamb
the writer saw brought back to consciousness
and in ten minutes it was struggling to free
itself and when released it skipped away, and
went bleating and gambolling about the gar
den. The practical use intended to be made
of this almost incredible discovery will be
the sending of animals to distant countries,
where they will be consumed, or revived and
turned out to grass. The experiment has not
yet been tried with a human subject, but Sig
nor Rotura has applied for felon to operate
on,

How to Make a Horse TrOt.

My own practice is, without pretending to
the knowledge of professional trainers to let
the horse good deal alone. presume do
not take the reins in both hands once in three
months, so far as need ofstrength goes, when
L am driving on the road. Ofcourse there are
some horses that we must make trot if they
ever trot at all; for one do not desire to have
anything to do with that sort of horses But
give me horse that is a natural trotter, and |
am sure he will never go except in q trot, UNI
less by reason of some pain in his foot or
somewhere else, that may cause him to break
| am driving five-year old colt that is fast.
If he breaks, / let him run. After he has been
running six or eight rods, hint to him that
it is just as fashionable for him to strike his
trot, and, if he does not take that hint, in
little while, give him another. But don't
yank him, or jerk him, pull him back settle
him down. square him, as they say, and all
those excellent phrases that do not mean any,
thing. The colt means to trot, and know II,
and if for some unaccOuntable cause he breaks,
! know the habit naturally implanted in him
will get him back to his trot just as quick us
he can. horse can not run awhile and catch
himself suddenly, without hurting himself;
SO he will take another jump or two When
he has jumped two or three times, give
little touch to the reins, suggesting to him that
he may as well trot. He generally knows
what mean, but if he don't l tell him again,
and pretty soon find him going along with
tail as straight as n spirit level never on
such horse use check rein, never put on
martin-galcs, but let him go, head up and tail
streaming. These are the rudders intended
to keep the horse true in his gait, and have no
right to deprive him of his steering apparatus.
And so the rule is, that the horse, if he is a
sensible level-hcaded horse, knows great deal
more than you do about trotting, and you
should let him have his own way. This is
my best advice, briefly put, in regard to driv-
