EXTINCTION OF

Horses, indeed. which the Spanish

pernatural beings come purposely to
aid the conquerors. Yet recent re-
search by the Whitney mission has es-
tablished beyond doubt that long be-
fore Columbus the Americas were
overrun by horses from the noun
tains of Alaska to the plains of Pata-
gonia. says Harper's Weekly
In. 1926 the chance discovery in New
Jersey of an equine fossil of nn un-

investigation Of America, with the re.

By some this temporary extinction

encroachments of the glacial hemis-

horses succumbed tp malady such is
the 'rinderpest' in South Africa.
