The Mechanical Horse, at the Exposition, to which we have already referred, bears no resemblance to his equine namesake, but consists of a box seven feet long and wide enough for a man to saddle, and about five feet high. This body is mounted on five wheels. In a trial before the Emperor, a mile race course was passed over in two minutes twelve seconds. . When at its fastest speed, the distance was made in fifty-eight seconds, and the inventor affirms" that nearly this speed could be kept up for four hours. What is the real motive power, is a secret which the inventor has imparted to the Emperor only ; and in return for this distinguished confidence, the inventor has been decorated with the Cross of the Legion of Honor. — Scientific American. Frozen Meat. — The project for shipping a trial cargo to England of meat preserved by Mort's freezing process is, we understand, likely to be carried out in a short time. The committee report that the amount promised approximates to the sum of £5,000, a considerable proportion of which is from Queensland. Mr. Mort considers that the meat should be purchased so as to be in course of delivery during the months of July and August, and he entertains hopes of being able to send the ship from the colony with the meat , during the month of September. The undertaking will be most anxiously regarded both at home and in the colony, inasmuch as, if successful, food will be placed at the disposal of the starving millions in Great Britain, and a complete revolution for the better in the pastoral occupation effected here.— Australasian.
