The Science of Walking.

By means of an ingenious clock-work appar-
atus, Marcy, the French biologist, has obtained
q number of exceedingly interesting graphic
illustrations of the manner in which man
walks The instrument is vertical barrel,
covered with finely ruled paper, and as the
barrel is made to revolve by the gearing within
it. a little pencil makes a mark on the paper, as
the person whose walk is under investigation
steps along with the registering device "A lit
tie air compressor, worked by the foot Of the
walker. at each step, sends current Of air
through flexible pipe to the instrument, and
gives more or less up-and-dow movement to
the pencil It has been found that the step in
going up hill is longer than in going down hill;
that the step is longer for an unburdened man
than for hurdened one, and that the step is
longer when the sole of the boot is thick and
prolonged beyond the toe than when it is shor!
and flexible. When person ascends hill he
qnickens his pace, but diminishes its length,
scending an inclination on the ground. It
would seem that Marey's observations points
to the advisability of pedestrians in general
adopting low-heelod boots, with thick project
ing soles. 80 $3.50.
