HORSES ONLY TWO FEET HIGH.
PERHAPS the most remarkable discovery ever made in America was the diminutive race of horses found recently near a great lake in the wilds of Wyoming. The tiny equines, tho less than two and a half feet high, were perfect specimens of fully-matured horses. Exact images of fine horse flesh as seen to-day, they were, nevertheless, smaller than any pony living at present. Amazement filled the minds of the scientific men who found the little animals. Thousands of them inhabited the shores of the lake, yet they have never been found elsewhere. Perhaps some choice food peculiarly adapted to their needs grew only along its shores. It is doubtful if they were ever ridden by man, and certainly a human of normal size would never have attempted to bestride so small a creature. If dwarfs rode upon the Lilliputian steeds, no traces of their presence have yet been found.—Selected.
