• — — — ♦ How to illuminate a road m front of the horses m driving at night is nu important matter. The usual side lamps on carriages, or tho attaching of a lantern to the dash board, fail to rellect the light whoro it is moat wantad, and tho suspending of a lantern to tho. front axle is objectionablo for many reasons, but it is the best plan for shedding the light whore it ia most needed that we havo seen tried. But a Philadelphia physician suggests tho attaching of tho lautorns to tho breast collar of the harness, whioh he says ho has tried with, perfect satisfaction ; and lie has evidently had some cxporieneo with the ordinary mothod of lighting, for. ho says tho various forms of dash lights aro pretty much tho same, m that they put tho light just where it is not wanted, illuminating the horso's tail and hips and tho buggy thills with a brilliance quito unnecessary, which intensi-" Cos tho blackness of tho shadow cast by them just where one most wishes to sco clearly. —SciefiUHo- American.
