Ancestors Of the Horse.

Some interesting facts about the geo

Jade known by Professor Marsh. Vari-
lis forms OF horselike animals that lived

lg these animals from their fragment

The curiously interesting statement Is
Jade by Professor Marsh that 1.-The old
Z, st ancestor OF the horse-as yet undis-
overed-undoubtedl had five toes on
lcb foot and probably was not larger

This tendency is one of the proofs
Which science has to offer that the noble

oyments of man, has really been devel-
ped from those queer beasts of ancient

A few years ago the city of Chicago spent
a great deal of money to secure supply of
pure water from the lake, but apparently
without success. for Chief Engineer Cooley
reports tina, there have been 1900 deaths
from typhoid fever and similar diseases in
seven months. all of which he attributes to
the pollution of the lake water by the
drainage of the Chicago river. The evil is
one that cannot be easily corrected. II
would take years of labor as well as millions
of money to establish an effective drainage
system independent of the river, and yet
that is apparently what will have TO be done.
