EASY TO TRACE EVOLUTION
Probably That of the Horse ls the
Most Perfect Of Which There
ls Evidence.

There is on record no more perfect
example of evolution than the horse.
Under the able direction of Prof.
Henry Fairfield Osborn, the distin-
giished president of the American
Museum of Natural History, the great
est collection of fossil horses in the
world has been brought together in
the museum. We have so detailed a
record that the complete evolution Of
the horse, from the tiny, five-toed, for
est-living, cretaceous ancestor, to Man
o. War, the most perfect living horse,
is there for all to trace, writes Roy
Chapman Andrews, In Asia Magazine
The horse, we know, originated in
Wyoming and adjacent parts of the
West. At first he was a shy, retiring
creature, no larger than terrier, with
FIVE toes on feet adapted to the soft,
springy ground Of the forests. AS the
wooded area began to decrease in ex-
rent, the horse perforce changed his
habits, becoming more and more
plains-living animal dependent upon
speed to protect him from enemies.
Since his five-toed feet were not adapt
the middle toe gradually developed the
hoOf, and the side digits disappeared,
except for the so-called "splint-bones"
In horses as we know them today. The
causes that forced the evolution of the
horse are In certain respects similar
%ha% aAe In hr1
man evolution.
Many theories concerning the evOlu-
ton of man have been advanced by
eminent scientists. That proposed by
the late Prof. Joseph Darrell of Yale
university has much to give it support.
Professor Darrell believed that, as
the forests decreased and the an
thropoid apes could no longer retreat
southwark because of the great barrier
of the Himalaya mountains, they were
forced to adapt themselves to life
upon the ground. Whether or not they
did this from necessity or choice, It
seems almost sure that the progenitor
of man was a ground ape"-a crea-
ture living on nuts and roots and,
when in danger, running to the trees
for safety. AS he gradually lost the
shelter of the forest, he had to ac-
Quire the means of protecting himself
and of combating the enemies of the
ground. This led to a communal life,
hands with an opposed thumb with
which to grip sticks and stones to be
uSod In defense an erect nOSture and
foot adapted to swift and sustained
running. These bodily changes, which
were of profound Importance, must
have taken place very slowly-in hun
dreds of thousands of years. The
physical adaptations carried with
them mental development CORE
spondingly remarkable. Thus.it was,
says Professor Darrell, that man di-
verged from the parent ape-stock.

PHYSICAL Chemistry.

Lectures given recently at various
American centers of learning by DIR.
+. w. Aston of Cambridge made q
notable contribution to the general
knowledge of the remarkable advances
of the moment in physical chemistry.
More and more it is coming to be
taken for granted that the chemical
elements are made up of identically
the same stuff, and that they differ
only In their structural arrangements.
More and more the passage from one
element to another, which so dumb
founded science when 1t was first OBJ
served taking place spontaneously, is
coming to be matter of course and
something which we may ultimately
hope to contr0l.-Scientific American.

Encouraaii,a French Rlrth Rate,

In France there is goOd-sized fund
for the purpose of encouraging large
families. Upon three different occa-
sions rather large sums of money have
been given for this purpose by NJ. Cog
nacq. The principal awards are 100
prizes of 10000 francs each to be dis
trlbuted annually to the deserving
heads Of families of more than FIVE
children and 80 prizes Of $4,000 francs
for the heads Of families of at least
nine children. The donor of these
awards accumulated his wealth in the
operation of large department store
in Paris and during his lifetime 1t was
a constant source of concern to him to
note the dwindling birth rate Of his
country.

More Work for windmiIls.

The old farm windmill will be given
q new job If the engineering expert
ments that are now being made at the
Iowa station prove to be successful.
Turning a dynamo to produce electric
lights on the farm is the idea being
tested by F. c. Fenton, agricultural
engineer. and e. G. Kurtz, electrical
engineer, at the Iowa State college.
The test is being made with an ordi-
nary windmill which turns a generator,
and the electricity is stored In bat
teries until used. If it proves to be
practical. engineers see the possibili-
ties Of making cheap lights available
on the farm.

ises. The meeting then adjourned
and fine dinner was enjoyed.
In the afternoon the inspection
committee made their report. Mr..
Carmichael, Professor of Animal
Husbandry, University of Maryland,
met with the men and spoke to them
on the raising of hogs. The three
important phrases of this work
which he brought out were better
feed, better methods of feeding, ana
better sires. He spoke of the necs-
sity of more green feed for hogs and
discussed the value of pastures. He
said that if Maryland is to continue
as a hog raising state and compete
against other states, more green
feen must be used and the pastures
must be changed occasionally on
account of diseases. Miss Hodgson
met with the women and gave
demonstration on the use of pectin
in jelly making.
After most enjoyable day the
Club adjourned and will not meet

in having the opportunity of being

We cannot afford to have this work
curtailed now after two years OF
operation. I, as County Supervisor,
visiting the schools once a month,
fully realize and appreciate what the
Red Cross work means to our boys

To the best Of Lucinda's judgment,
however, the greater part Of Mr.. Laugh

sketched in by the director, Tommy made
no perceptible attempt to follow his pat
