IN ARM0R TIMES.
strep wsh of English War Horses In
the Days of Henry VIII.

The size of the English war horse
reached its maximum in the reign of
Henry WILL, when the relations of
body armor to "hand guns We're anal
ogous to those Of the early ship armor
and cannon. There was good reason to
believe says the London Spectator,
that by adding little to the thickness
of the coat Of steel the soft, low We
locity bullet Of the day could be
kept out. SO 1t was for time. But
the additional weight required still
larger horse to carry it. The charger
had to be armOred as well as his rider,
and the collection in the Tower of Lon
don shows the actual weight which it
carried. The panOply of Charles Bran
don, Duke Of Suffolk, the brother-ln-
law of Henry Will, still exists. That
of the horse covers the whole Of the
hind quarters, the back Of the neck,
forehead, muzzle, ears. shoulders and
chest. It is exactly like a piece Of
boiler plating and fastened by riyets.
The rider sat in a saddle, the front
of which was a steel shield ten inches
high, covering the stomach and thighs
as the "breastwork" on an ironclad's
deck covers the base Of the turret. The
total weight Is eighty pounds fifteen
ounces. To this add the weight Of the
riders armor, ninety pounds nine
ounces, and of the rider himself, say
sixteen stone (224 pounds, and the to-
tai Is twenty-eight stone twelve pounds
eight ounces, or 404 pounds 8 ounces.
This bears out Hollinshead's statement
that in the days Of Henry WILL, "who
erected a noble studderie for breeding
horses, especially the greatest sort"
such as were kept for burden, those ami
mails would bear four hundredweight
commonly.

The manufacture Of "old'' oak is one
of the easiest of their processes. The
boards, moldings. panels or rwha tever
pieces are required are made OF oak
which has just had time to dry suffi-
ciently to prevent excessive warping.
They are then placed in dark room,
on the floor Of which and quite close to
the furniture to be "aged," are placed
several bowls, plates and so forth, Of
liquid ammonia. The room is then her
mctically closed up, and the wood Is
left for month or so, according to the
age which is required. The coloration
will extend to a depth of nearly a
quarter Of an inch If the room is kept
closed for few months.
