Animal l ur. Fur is a thread-like fiber which grows out of the pores of the skins of animals. It grows in length from the root, and not from the top, as with vegetable productions. The lower portion merely lengthens out, and the top projects forward, consequently, if once cut, it will always remain blunt. It is tubular and filled with oil, which gives to the fiber its color. In addition to the oil it contains mineral matter, among which are sulphur and iron. A close examination of the fiber will, to a certain extent, show the section of the country the animal inhabits. The short and crisp, with an oval or angular cross section, indicates tropical growth; the long and soft, with circular cross section, a Northern climate. The fibers from different structure and value, that which is taken from the back of a land animal being the finest, while the reverse is true of the animal which confines itself mostly to water, the belly being much finer than the back.
