Inside of . MOlecule.

The New South Wales government
analyst, William M. Hamlet, delivered
the presidential address in the section
of chemistry at the recent meeting Of
the Australian Association For the Ad-
vancement of Science, the subject being
''The Molecular Mechanism of an Elec-
trolyte.
He defined an electrolyte as body in
solution or state of fusion, capable of
being instanteously decomposed by a
current Of electricity, and he claimed
that if the explanation he offered was
adequate for the electrolyte it must
hold good for the constitution of the
matter in the universe, so that the
treatise on the electrolyte has most
important scientific bearing. The meth
cd of investigating the action of one
body upon any other, he reminded his
audience, was brought to high degree
of accuracy by the immortal work of
Sir Isaac Newton. He alluded to some
observations of the late Professor Cliff
ford, made over 20 years ago. this au-

TRAINING A MARhoRsE.
How He Is Taught to Stand the BIaas
and Thunder of Battle.

and Thunder of Battle.
A warhorse is broken to DO steady
under fire by tying ropes to his legs.
While the animal is down on the ground
the officer takes a pistol and fires it
close to his ear. Then in rapid order he
fires the weapon over his back, under
his neck, between his legs, anywhere
that an opening presents itself during
the horses futile struggles Not until
he sinks back exhausted, all a-tremble
and showing the whites of his eyes, does
the pistol practice cease.
After two or three lessons of this kind
1t is considered safe to mount him with
a bride furnished with curb bit. Up
to this time the horse has never felt a
curb The light snatfle is still retained,
and the curb bride is only given a gen.
tie pressure at first, just enough to let
him know that it is there. Gradually
the strength of the pull is increased.
and with this safeguard the horse is
taught to stand fire from his riders pis-
tol or carbine.
In carbine practice the horse must be
thoroughly broken, as both hands are
required i'll using this weapon, whereas
with the pistol the rider may retain the
bride with one hand.
Then comes saber practice, and that
is another trial to the horse. Again is
he thrown to the ground, and he proba-
bly, can't understand why he should
have to suffer this indignity all over
again, for he has learned that lesson
very we'll. But when the bright blade
of the saber, with quick thrEs.s flash
ing before his eyes and cutting the air
in close proximity to his ears, appears
to him he is again terror stricken.
But the lesson he Las learned from
the smell Of gunpowdcr stands him i'll
good stead, and he soon gets over his
fear. And even with man on his back
and another mounted upon a seasoned
horse coming at him with saber raised
in the air or slashing left and right he
knows that it is all part of his educa-
ton and something to be expected. So
he stands his ground or c4vorts about
the other horse while the two troopers
indulge in their saber practice.
