industrial civilization OF the present.
the pioneers and leaders of progress
have always made use of this ami
nal.
The history of the evolution of the
horse through the tertiary period of
age of mammals affords the best
known illustration of the doctrine OF
evolution by means of natural selec-
ton and the adaptation of a race of
animals to its environment.
The ancestry of this family has
been traced to near the beginning of
the tertiary without a single import
ant break. During this long period
of time, estimated at four or five
millions of years, these animals,
gradually increasing IN size, passed
through important changes in all
parts of the body. and especially in
the teeth and feet, adapting them
more and more perfectly to their par
ticular environment.
In the series of ancestors Of the
horse we can trace clearly every step
In the evolution of those marked
peculiarities of teeth and feet which
distinguish the modern animal from
an ancestor which so little suggests
horse that when it's remains were
first found it's relation to the horse
was not suspected, and was recog-
nized only when several of the inter
mediate stages between it and it's
modern descendants had been dis
covered.
On the other hand, this early ances-
tor of the horse is very difficult to
distinguish from the cotemporary
ancestors of tapirs and rhinoceroses,
indicating how all the modern quad
rupeds have diverged from a single
twpe. each becoming adapted to the
needs of its especial mode of life.

Evolution Of Horse Extends Back

TIME latest and best estimates
made by scientists place the
age of the earth as probably
Il between one and two billion
years, and more than a third
Of this time had passed before the
first faint traces of life are discern
able. Earlier than the time when
these first definite forms of life have
been found in the rocks, the pres
ence of life is inferred by certain
things that apparently can be accom-
plished only in the presence or by
the agency of life, such as the accum-
ulation of deposits of graphite, lime
stone and iron ore.
The passage of more than half of
geologic time found plants still con-
fined to the water, but when, In
Devonian times. they came up out
of the sea and began the conquest of
the land, with them came many
strange animal forms.
In the countless ages that followed
the first land flora, the world was
gradually made ready for the NAM
mails, the highest type of life, and yet
fully so per cent of geologic time
was gone before the mammals came
to the dominant position they now
hold.
Although certain archaic NAM
mails probably came into existence
early in the Mesozoic era, or So
called time of middle life, it was
not until the beginning of the Cen
ozoic era, or time of modern life,
that the ancestors of the horse made
their appearance.
OF all the animals of the past and
present, there is none more deserving
of our interest and affection than the
horse. 1t is one of the most useful
of the domestic animals and has
played a very important part in the
development of civilization Since
the dawn of recorded history, the
man with the horse has been in the
forefront of progress. Whether lead
ing the military civilizations of the
past or preparing the way for the
