the practical chemist would be greatly ata loss for some of his most valuable productions 
if the entire Ox tribe were swept from the earth. Not even the very intestines are allowed 
to be wasted, but are employed for a variety of purposes, and in a variety of trades. 
Sometimes the bones are subjected to a process which extracts every nutritious particle 
out of them, and even in that case, the remaining innutritious portions of the bones are 
made useful by being calcined, and manufactured into the animal charcoal which has 
lately been so iargely employed in many of the arts and sciences. 
The best living example of the original British Ox is to be found in the celebrated 
white cattle of Chillimgham. 
The colour of these beautiful animals is a cream-white, with the exception of the ears 
and muzzle, the former of which are red, and the latter is black. Mr. Bell observes, that

marked with red or black, according to the breed. The white tint extends even to the 
horns, which are, however, tipped with black. They are rather slender in their make, and 
curve boldly upwards. As these Chillingham cattle are permitted to range at will through 
spacious parks in which they are kept, they retain many of the wild hal bits of their tribe, 
and are so impatient of observation that a stranger will generally find himself in a very 
unsafe position if he attempts to approach closely to the herd, 
When they are alarmed or provoked at the intrusion of a strange human being within 
the limit of their territories, they toss their heads wildly in the air, paw the ground, and 
steadfastly regard the object of their dislike. If he should make a sudden movement, 
they scamper away precipitately, gallop round him in a circle, and come to another 
halt at a shorter distance. This process is continually repeated, the diameter of the circle
