! A gG~nce at the sketch given below
viii prove at once the great dissirnilar-
| ity between the .hackney and what is
known as the American lorse-that is
| 20 say the tTottcr and the trotting-
| bred roadster. The hackney is heav-
| Ter throughout, with higher knee ac-
ton generally and carrying much
more flesh, also being particularly no.
ticeable in American towns and cities
by reason OF the fact that the tail OF
the hackney is generally shortened to
degree which often calls forth the
openly expressed disgust or ridicule of
the Onlooker Does the tail grow
that way or is IL the result of inbreed-
ing or some peculiar method OF feed
ing, etc.?' This question has been
asked frequently. OF course it does
when the animal is young or before
being put into heavy harness. 1t is a
practice that has obtained among old
horse Jockeys from time immemorial.
and is supposed to give the fat, sleek,
high-acting nag a more cocky ap-
pearance in harness before cart
or light trap. Another reason for
it is that the horse being adapt
ed for use in a two wheeled cart
and the balance depending upon
the wheels and the hind leg of the an
imal it would be a source of danger
were the tail left long enough to swish
the reins out of the drivers hands.
1t is a question whether it is abso-
lutely necessary to make the tail SO
short, but fashion has decreed that
the tail must be just SO many inches
long for stylish driving horse and so
it goes. The matter has been decided
for and against many times in the law
courts and it is an open question
whether the operat ton of docking is in
the proper sense of the term a cruelty
or not. The opinion given by many
who have seen hundreds of horses
docked is that there is so little pain
apparent that horses have not even
stopped eating while the operation was
performed. Others again aver that
horses scream with pain when the tail
is removed / think the latter is more
or less Of an exaggeration because the
operation is instantaneous if properly
performed and there cannot be any
more pain than is experienced in the

ANOTHER LOST CONTINENT.

| The Theory of Antirodea Which Is Sup
| posed to BE Sunk In tho Antarctic Sea.
| An interesting discussion has been
! going on OF late concerning a supposed
| lost continent in the Antarctic sea.
| Mr.. Il. o. Forbes, to whom the theory
| of the former existence of this conti-
nent is due, proposes to call it Anti
| podea. He bases his belief in this
ancient, and now sunken. land upon
| the existence of allied forms of wing
less birds in the Mauritius and in the
Chatham islands.
When geologists find upon distant
islands forms of animals peculiar to
continental lands, or to other far
removed islands, they are sometimes
driven to the conclusion that in former
times land connection must have ex-
listed between the continents and
islands in question. But the idea.
though new in this particular applica-
ton. is not new in itself.
Two other supposed lost continents
have become famous The first is At
lantis, the story OF which was known
to Plato, land of fertility, wealth
and civilization, now lying. according
to the legend, at the bottom of the At
lantic ocean.
The other lost continent IS an iuven-
ton, or deduction. of modern science.
1t is called Lemuria. and is supposed
to have existed in the Indian ocean.
The islands of Mauritius, Madagascar,
Bourbon, Rodriguez and the Seychelles
are believed to be remnants of this lost
continent still projecting above the
waters. According to some German
savants, man himself probably origi-
mated in Lemuria instead of in Asia.
Antipodea, ii it ever existed, was
separated from Lemuria by almost half
the circumference of the globe, and
the Chatham islands are remnants of
it. Across the great stretch of water
between the Chatham islands and the
Mauritius, it is argued, the fiightless
birds, whose bones are found in both
places, could not have made their way.
There are other peculiarities in the
distribution Of life in the southern
hemisphere which, it is asserted by
some, can only be accounted for on the
supposition that such continent as
Antipodea once rose above the waters
of the Antarctic sea.
