HORSE ORIGINATED HERE.
What Scientific Investigation in Hris-
tol County, Texas, Has
Developed.

The Texas fossil expedition recent
ly sent out by the American Museum
of Natural History has made a val
liable and startling find by unearth-
ing the remains of a prehistoric horse.
This fossil animal is a remarkable dis
coverv, as it proves the origin of the
horse to have been in America, says
the New York Herald.
1t was generally believed that the
horse originated in Europe, especially
as the aboriginal Indian tribes first en-
countered by the white men on this
continent had no horses.
The fossil horse now discovered has
been mounted and placed on exhibition
in the tertiary mammal hall of the
museum. The skeleton was found by
Mr.. j. w. Gidley in a bed of sand, about
100 feet in thickness, in Bristol coun-
Ety, Tex.
1t is an entirely new species of pleis-
tocene horse, and the only one so far
found. A new name was necessary to
designate it from other types, SO the
term Equus Scott was selected, in
honor of Prof. w. ID. Scott, of Prince
ton, well known paleontologist. Sci
ence can hardly calculate the exact
time when this fossil horse roamed the
marshes of primeyal earth and was
smothered up and embedded by the
first great dust shower.
Comparing the ske Teton of the fossil
horse with that of an ordinary horse
of the present day, there are some
striking differences. Thus the skel-
eton of the fossil horse represents an
animal with a head about the size of
that of large draught horse, but with
a height of body and length of limb
of an ordinary western pony, and with
a length of body very similar to that
of the zebra

The Financial Condition Of Havana.

The finances Of Havana have been in
vestigated by a commission appointed
for the purpose and there has been found
a woeful lack of ability in the handling
of the city's affairs. The commission
finds that the Indebtedness of the CITY is
$12,235,93l. The average yearly expens-
es, outside of public instruction and
some other items which are betrayed by
the state, are $2,25O,OOO. The cost of
placing loan of $15,00O,OOO, IN addi-
ton to the expense of existing loans and
counting in the sinking fund, both of
which amount to about 5000, 900, should
be about $1,300,000. Consequently, the
commission says, the city could afford
to raise the necessary loan, although at
present the revenue of the city is only
about $1,9oOOOO. This could be easliy
increased, the report argues. At present
the tax on private property yields $780,
900 on an assessed income of $6 ,29S, 900
This appears to be a very low assess
ment, because out of 1s,4OO houses on
which taxes are assessed 97O are mort
gagged to the extent of $92,O74,214 and
these mortgages are paying 8 per cent
interest. The report says that after max
ing all due allowances the assessed in
come OF Havana property should be $1O,-
O00,0eo, or S1,200,0OO year. The wa
ter rates also should yield about $780,
900 instead of $4,000 as at present.
This estimate is based on the fact that
at present only 1860 houses take wa
ter when thsre ought TO he 10000. In
summarizing the whole situation the re-
port says that Havana, with new assess
ments. and proper administration should
be able to raise $3,3OO,O00 annually
without trouble.
