t1 MAN AND THE HORSE. Animal C'niiqnpiit Mnrked One of the K|»»-IIN In I'lvilltnlluu. The coii|tk'st of tin horse liy man and its li iiii I utilization for all'pur poses which arc discharged by steam and electricity today marked one of 1lic sreal turning points in the history of civilization. In the groat earth and sand preglacial deposits of Kurope tlie Iruo wild horse is as widespread, though not as varied, as in America. It Is not at this stage associated with 1l)e remains of man. because no pro vincial man except the pithecanthro pus or t.rinil man of Java has been found. In the interglacial or postgla cial period the remains of man and the horse arc first found together. The first association occurs in the middle of the paleolithic or rough implement period. The discovery of all the possi ble uses of the horse came very gradu ally, however, for there is abundant proof that man first: hunted and ate, then drove and finally rode the ani mal. The prevailing drawings of the pu ieolithic horse represent him as hog mailed, with no forelock to conceal the low bred ltoinan nose. A second type in the Monthe cave, a bearded horse with long, bristling mane, long ears and convex forehead, is regarded by M. Kiviere as another species. Hut it is not clear to my mind that these lira wings represent more than the Bummer and winter coats of the same animal. Besides these ltoinan nosed typos, to which Kwart traces the mod ern cart horse, there are others with small heads anil flat noses, which ttvrnrt associates with the Celtic pony and possibly with the origin of the thoroughbred. Other cave drawings, reproduced by M. Capitan, leave little doubt that the ass was known in Eu rope. It is also certain from abundant evidence in the eaves of France that there was a larger horse toward the south perhaps, while the smaller breeds may have frequented the colder northern regions.—Century.

Old time controversies were often vigorous in language. In a controversy with Milton concerning the divine right of kings Salniasius called his op ponent a puny piece of a man, a ho munculus, a dwarf not having a hu man figure, a bloodless being, a crea turc of skin and bones, a contemptible pedagogue fit only to flog boys, a rhi noceros, a hangdog looking fellow.
