SCIENCE. Many-toed Horses.-Professor 0. C. Marsh has a brief but interesting article on " Polydactyle Horses, recent and ex tinct," in the Juno number of The American Journal of Science and Arts, In which he cites several curious lustances of extra digits in tie foot of the modern horse, anid shows that these revorsions to an older type are far more numerous than is commonly supposed. As to the ancestors of Lhese animals, says the Professor, there can be no doubt. Amer ica is the original home of the horse, and during the wlhote of Tertiary time this continent was ocoupied withicqulne mammials of many and( various forms. Although all thiese became oxtmect be.. - fore thle discovery of tIs country, thecir abundant remains mark out the geneal ogy of the horse In all almost unbroken successi oil of' forms. If we examine the remains of the oldest revresentatives of the norse in his country we shall ind that these ailmals 'vere polydactyle, and of small size. As the line was eon timued toward the present era, there was agradual inclreae in size, and a dim nution in the number of' toes, until the present type of 'orso was produced. The original ancestor of the horse, not its yet discovered, un iadoubtedly had live toes oil each foot. The oldest meniber of the group now known Is the Eoilp pus, which ihad four well developed toes and te rudiment of another ioneach for(-foot, anld Lthree toes behind. This animal was about as large as a fox, an(] Its remains aire froml thle Coryphiodon beds near tile base of tile Eocene. in the next higher division o the Eocene another equi)c geius, Orohippus,makes its appearance. It resembled its prede cessor in size, bul liad only four toes in front and three behind. At the top of' tile Eocceoa third allietI genus has been found (Epthippus), M,hat closely rescm bled Orohippus in its digits, bu, differed lit its teeth. Near the base of the next formation, the Miocene, another equine mamianal, Mesoliippus, occurs. Tlli animal was about as Mrgo as a sheep, and lad thrac usable toes and tile splint. of another oil each fore-foot, with but three toes behind. Atasomewhatihigi or horizon a nearly allied gentus, 11tio hippus, has becin found, wilich has the splint bone of the outer or fiftih digit re duced to a short remnait. In the P1Iio cone above a three-toAl horse (Protohip pus) about its large as it donlkey wits abundant, and still higher up it nicar al ly of the modern horse, wlith only a single toe on each foot (1liohippus), makes lils appearaice. A true ]quus, as large as the existing horse, alippeArs Just above this horizon, and tile series is comlplete.

IIorses and cattle normally reqitIre, iII round numbers, four potimds of water for each pound of dry substance in the food, while sheep require about two pounds, or about half as much. This estimate, the result of mally careful ex perlimients, includes the water contain ed in the food as well as that in the drink. Tho amount ,of water needed by pigs has not, I think, been accurate ly determined. 1 ith horses we find a different digestive arrangement-one that changes the conditions which were suitable for ruminants to a very Inpor tant extent. Horses have but one stomach, and that relatively small; It contains, wien fully distended, but fif teen to sixteen quarts, and in tis con dit,ion Is too full for tho performance of its functions. U1sually when digest ing the food tihe horse's stoinach does not contain more thanl tol quarts, and is more food is eaten some of the con Wiets pass onward ilIto tile in1testMIes to make rooml) for .. I n eat.linga fll feed of liay tile Stoimall is filled two or three t.imes, So tile part flirst viaten ei remain but, a isort time for digestion. Now, here Is a polin of great impor tance. The allminlijolds of the food are digested in the stomach and a stom achful of graan coz1ntanus four to six timea as amuch of these a1s a stoallItchllI of hay, consequently for a sufliclent quantity of gastric Juice to be mixed with tihe grain, and produee Its full ef feet requires a much longer (ime thanl with hay. If, then, we feed oats or corn, and Immediately afterward hay, we maity be very nertain that tile grain will be forced from the stomach ibefore it IS perfectly digested, but ifA we feed thie hay fi-st auid then ti grain, it Is not d1illcult, to niderstund that the Ilt ter can remain in the stomachi a suill Clent, time. 'I'lere is One advantage InI mixing oats or ground fee-l of any kind with cut 1y or straw, and that Is tie more perfect mastication wi ich tle ani mal gives in tlls case, but it Is doubt fill if this advantage hiolds good with Cattle, as Ihey (o not chew tiheir food perfectly when eating, but rely on the rumination which follows. III nAxihig feed for horses we should not put a great amount of coMIrse food with the grain, or we will give Ilore thanl the stomach will hold, amid the last portions eaten will force the first ones into the intestines before they are thoroughly imPregnated with the gast.-ic juice. Thus, two poiunids of hay and four pounds of oats are about as much as should be fed at once, when mixe(f,and If imure oaits are given the hay should be decreised ; for imsta.nce, 1ly,e pouinds of lity may be given. Now these facts will give us a better understanding of the cirect. of water onl digestion. 1f, af Ler feeding lhaty anld then oats, we it. lowa horse to take a large drink of wa ter, a Considerable portilon of the outs will be carried by the water Into the InI testinles, anld we get little of the advan tage of feeding ti oats after ti hay I f sucih i drink Is tikkenl soon after cat Ing hay alone, the effect; will not be So lijiioi, hevatise hay does iot need so long at time for digestion a5 graini.

Whein the stomach hlas got rid oft a considerable part of its .on tets it seems a ilicult matter for it to force out tile remainder, and fermenta tion and colie sometimes result; a drink of wattjr at such at time, by carrying on tile stbstance which has remained long elough, relieves tile condition.

Cro%ked bodily positions, minItaLine1d for any lenIgth of Lim0, are always Injurious, whether ill the sit ting, standing, or lying posture, whieth er sleeping or waking. To sit with the body leaning forward on the atom aeli or to one SWte, with the heels ele vated on a level wIth tih head, Is not only in bad taste, but exceedingly det rimental to lea1l. It cramps t,he stomach, presses the vital organs, in terrupts the free Iotiols of the chest, and onfeebles the functions of the ab doininal and thoraclo organs, aId, in fact, unbaltiances tlhe whole muscular system.
