Color Change in Horses

Sometimes horse altar an, i'll
ness, turns different color. A la
dy in France who possessed a spleE-
did sorrel horse found that on its
recovery from typhoid fever that.
its sparse hair grew an intense
black. A young black horse train
ed for the race-course in England
was taken i'll. put out to pasture
and doctored for some time. It ul-
timately recovered and as as well
as ever, but its shining black coat
had become an unusually sparkling
red. A young lady in this country
at sixteen possessed chestnut horse,
went away to boarding school. and,
on her return, found that the color
of her horse was changing. as she
called it, like a regular checker
board" with no definite illness to
account for it.
Veterinary surgeons give all sorts
of explanations for the changes of
color observed in the hair Of the
horse. One at the Pasteur Institute
in Paris has announced bis opinion
that the coloring matter is affected
by little changes IN some Minute
and mysterious organs in the abdo-
men answering to the suprarenal
capsules. When these are affe tied
the horse undergoes some develop
mental change. the nature Of which
is not yet precisely understood.
The same thing, to some extent,
is noticed in the skin Of man. Co
bait mines seem to affect workers,
to tint their compilations, and to
change the color Of their hair and
this also happens in factories. where
dyestaffs are handled, the hair Of
such men and women often taking
on distinct blush tint. Braziers
and copper shelters now and. then
find their boards and mustachss
turning green.
