AN EQUINE CURIOSITY.
Arrival from Australia Of a Horse witt

Arrival from Australia Of Horse Wtths
out Hair.
An interesting equine curiosity in the
shape Of horse absolutely without hair
has arrived in San Francisco from Aus
tralia. It has been exhibited to few
connoissenrs in horse flesh The horse
or rather the mare, for it belongs to the
latter gender-is pronounced phenome-
non. Her skin is black and as smooth
and as fine as that Of human being.
She stands little over fifteen hands high
and is about years old. 1t would be
difficult to find handsomer or more
shapely animal. She looks we'll bred and
is strongly developed. In action the
movement of every muscle is plainly dis
cernible by reason of the animals utter
nakedness. Were it not for her abnormal
appearance the mare would make a most
excellent carriage horse. Anything more
peculiar than the appearance Of this
beast, with her smooth, shiny skin, black
as ebony, attempting to whisk from her
back with hairless, stumpY tail the flies
clustering there, it is impossible to COZ
ceive. The softness and smoothness of
every portion of her anatomy, even where
the name ought to be found, preclude the
idea that the hair has been got rid of arti-
ficially, as by shaving. The black-leaG-
ing process, which has not infrequently
been used in the preparation of freaks OF
this character, has not been.resorted to here.
Viewed from behind, something in the
make of the animals back suggests the
elephant MI. Cunningham purchased the
mare in Echuca, Victoria, from farmer,
who utilized her as buggy horse. She
was driven every day distance of ten
miles, her tender skin being protected BIZ
rugs and blankets.

The Forum will begin the New
Year with an exhaustive discussion
by Senator Morrill,, of Vermont, of
the subject which Mr.. Butterworth' S
resolution in Congress has made up
permost-The Annexation of Can
ada, He reviews the agitation of
the subject from the colonial times
and discusses commercial union,
which. he holds, is unconstitutional,
and political union, which should be
sought by Canada and not by us,
pointing out the practical political
disadvantages of admitting a number
of States with British political ideas,
and the possible European compli-
cations. Senator Morrill, regards
political union as inevitable, but he
does not think it ought to be sought
by us. Apropos of the Sackville
West incident, President James B.
Angel has prepared for the January
Fornm an historical review of the re-
calling and dismissing of ministers of
our government and by it. James
Parton will write of Dedicated Presi-

view of the most notable presiden-
tial campaigns since Henry Clay was
first candidate. This number of

tome of Max O'Rell's forthcoming
book on America and American
manners.
Leonard Woolsey Bacon in the
January Forum will take the poll

TWO SOLID MILES OF LUMBER
Faint Glimpse at the Extent Of tina
Business In Minneapolis.

Faint Glimpse at the Extent Of that
Business In Minneapolis.
The amount Of lumber now in pile at Min
neapolis is greater than it has been at any
time for q number Of years-greater, in
fact than it has been at any time since the
mills pretty generally began to find lodg-
ment upon the banks Of the river above
Plymouth avenue. AS the result,
the general public may get, for
the first time in years, pretty
good idea Of the extent Of the lumber bus
mess in Minneapolis, and the line of piles
ought be to as impressive as a long line Of
towering business blocks With the exception
Of limited space, there is an almost un-
broken line OF lumber piles and sawmills
from Fourth avenue north to Thirty
eighth avenue north, q distance of some
thing more than two miles. This does
not include all the lumber, either, In
north Minneapolis, where more than one
half Of all the stock in pile now is. It is
evident that unless the mills 60 further up
the river there is little additional room for the
mills on the west side OF the river. There
is no reason why the east bank Of the river
should not be as thoroughly lined with saw
mills and lumber piles as the west bank, and
such will be the case within the next three
or four years. Two or three projects have
already been put On foot looking TO loca-
tion On the east bank Of the river. There is
but a single objection to the massing Of the
lumber industry in single quarter, as is
being done at the present time in Minneap-
oils, and that is the added danger from fire.
With the future which is before the 500
road as lumber line, it need be no matter
Of surprise if the time should come when
there would be piled on the east side of the
river more lumber than is now found on the
west side.
