ORIGIN OF THE HORSE.
The Modern Animal a Cross Between
Two Ancient Breeds.

Two Ancient Breeds.
In Wlssen fur ALE Professor Koenig
discusses in some detail the origin Of
the horse OF today. He finds that tn.
horse OF neolithlc times was not spe-
officially distinct from the horse Of the
present. While there is no doubt that
the horse OF that period was used by
man for food. there seems to be no con.
elusive evidence as to whether 1t was
domesticated or not. His own opinion.
however. is that 1t was probably do
mesticated.
The horse OF that time was closely
allied TO the tarpan or semlwild horse
that lived In southern Russia up to u
century ago. This was "hog named
short legged. large headed beast. 1t
seems probable that the domestlcated
horses of the Germans of Caesars time
were derived from this breed.
The Egyptians had horses as early
as 1000 b. G. These were long named.
more like the Arab horses, and came
from Assyria. Where the Assyrians
obtained them is unknown, but 1t was
probably from southern Asia, where
this long named breed has been devel-
oped In all probability as the result OF
long continued domestication. The
modern horse Is cross between these
two breeds, with further mixture OF
the Arab horse. This Arab horse, too,
was itself descendant OF the earlier
long named horse.
The origin of the long named horse IS
matter Of doubt, but Professor Koe-
mig thinks 1t may have been from an
extinct Indian species.
