RAREY's GIFT.

a peculiar method is requisite to make a
horse lie down, more particularly if you
are stranger to him. Having accustomed
the horse to your presence, having fed him
from your hand, and stroked and caressed
and g gentled him, he will look upon you
as friend, and be ready to obey you. A
series of little taps upon one foreleg, and
he is down upon one knee; the other knee
is made to follow. In this position the
horse will submit to be gently rolled over
on to his side, almost as though in trance.
Let each act be gentle and he is content.
Once the horse is down he becomes your
slave, and this first victory may be best con-
firmed and subsequent lessons rendered less
troublesome, by feeding him with some
choice morsel while he is down; or if he
will not eat in that position, directly he
arises. Do not let your victory have in it
any sting of defeat for him. The nearer
that the trainer approaches to the spirit
thus indicated, the more successful he will
be; and if he wanders too far from it, he
will achieve no success at all. Some years
ago General Airey, in the course of con-
versation with the writer, most fully in
dorsed the above views as to the
great power of mingled frmness and
kindness. But frmness and kind
ness alone, without a knowledge of
horses temperaments without great
tact and insight into their individual
characters, will be of little if any service
with extremely stubborn and fractions
animals. a proof of this was given by
Rarey before General Airey's own eyes.
These two gentlemen happened to meet at
Mason's livery stables, and a discussion
was raised respecting the powers of the
American tanner. The General did not be-
lieve that Rarey was gifted with any spe-
cial power he was of opinion that il a
horse was beyond the influence of frmness
and kindness, he was beyond our influence
altogether. There was in Mason's stables
an utterly intractable steed, well known to
General Airey, which had never yet been
harnessed; or, if harnessed, had resisted
all efforts to drive him. He was an IT.
reconcilable. The General said that if
Rarey had any special power he would be
able to bring it to bear upon this horse.
Rarey at once undertook that he would,
unaided, harness the horse, hitch him to
brake, and drive him up and down Picca.
dilly. The challenge was accepted, the
General frankly reiterating his full con-
viction that neither Rarey nor any one else
could do it. But in an Incredible short
time Rarey emerged from the stable with
the horse harnessed as he had promised,
and drove him as quietly as a lamb up and
down Piccadilly.

MORE TANAGRA FIGURES.

The latest excavations made by order of the
Athens Archaeological Society at Tauagra, tho
well known place in BDotia whence come the
charming teira-cOtta figures, have yielded inn
pOrtant results. On the northern side of the
town, in front of the principal gate fifteen
tombs were discovered which were completely
untouched. They contained some sixty clay
figures, most of them perfect and measuring
between ten and thirty five centimetres in
helgh.. They represent satyrs and women
standing and sitting, and one is a group of two
figures. Besides these many vessels were
found, amongst which some twenty lekythoi
(paint and oil phials) with antique painted
ornaments. Unfortunately most of these were
broken. One vase which was found in "A stone
case shows an artistic inscription which dcslg-
mates ii rs n work of eisias
IL is also stated that fourteen scraping irons
were found, and that in two of the to,nbs
some fifty small terra Gotta ornaments were
discovered most of which were brightly col
orcd, and some covered with thin gold The
excavations became even more important after
April |. The published report mentions
twenty vessels, some broken, ten of which are
ornamentcd with paintings. Two of these are
sad to be particularly fine. OF the numerous
clay figures only eight could be got out i'm a
tolerably perfect condition. OF these two are
reported to he the most perfect figures ever
found Mt IanaGra. One represents Il winged

SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE.
AMERICAN SARDINES.

The transformation of the menhaden into
American sardines, which at one time was car
RED on on the shores of New York Bay, does
not seem TO have proved q commercial success
but MI III. Z. Hovey describes in The Scientific
american some sardine factories Oh the coast
OF Name where the young of the herring is
likely 10 meet with more popular favor than
fell to the lot of the cOmmOnmoss bunker The
process OF manufacturing these American sar-
dimes is as follows:
The small herring are caught in weirs built
among the small islands and in estuaries; and
1t is or the first Importance to get the fish to
the factories i'll the quickest time possible. For
tins reason and also because of the large num-
Der OF boats employed, steam tugs are used for
towing the dOries IN. On arriving at the works,
the boats are unloaded, the fish are thoroughly
washed IN pnre spring water, and carefully
sorted. All that are bruised or injured in any
way are thrown out, tho larger herring are
packed In barrels for other purposes, while the
smallest only are placed on long tables, where
their heads and tails are cut of and they are
properly cleaned. All the refuse is ground up
as pomace and used for fertilizing; hence moth
ing goes to waste.
From the cutting sheds the herring are passed
INTO the flake room, where they are sailed and
laid singly on wooden flakes, and after dripping
they are passed into the drying room, where
they are dried on racks, along which the flakes
are arranged, machinery being used admitting
hot and cold air. These flakes covered with
the dry fish next go to the frying room, where
they are placed in large shallow pans of boiling
OIL. Again they are assorted, and only such
are properly cooked are Kept and carefully LAID
LII cans, nine fish in each can. Hot oil is then
poured in, the cans sealed, a small orifice is
made to let out superfiuos steam, and then, thus
prepared, they go into the bath room, where
large tank filled with boiling water receives
them. On being removed the Orice i, SOL
dered, and each can is critically examined for
leaks, the rejected cans being returned for
proper treatment, while the perfect are
sent to the cleaning room, where upon large
box-like tables covered with sawdust, or, in
some factories, in revolving cylinders filled with
sawdust, the cans are cleansed and polished.
Having undergone final inspection, they are
sent to the packing room, where they are
packed, 100 boxes in each case, and thence
shipped to market

THE, RAINBOW

With regard TO the rainbow, NJ Ritter points
out an note to the Paris Academy that it is
defined by two distinct SYSTEMS of similar cones
with parallel axes, aud the apices Of which are
IN the two eyes. Near the observer, to "A dis
lance of about l.5Om., these cones are quite
separate. Hence, if the drops are within this,
one should see two distinct circular ares or
rinGs At BON. the two ares are in contact
Vl0let against rcd). Beyond, they overlap
without complete superposition This may be
Vcriled by turning ones back to the sum- and
working spray producer near the eyes. The
phenomenon Is also observed in nature, e.g., in
SPIDERS webs and sheets Of water, when COW
cred with pearls Of dew; also, on detached
spray from cascades, etc. Only the gcometucal
appearances are little confused, owing to the
uilhcul'S OF observing all the conditions, keep
ing the line Of the eyes horizontal pcrpcndcil-
lar to the direction Of the solar rays, and at
equal distance from the illuminated drops.
