One of the most remarkable things
about mans walk, says Science for
All, is the diagonal movement which
characterizes it. The hands and feet
may be regarded as forming the four
corners of parallelogranl, and the
diagonal limbs are, OF course, the
right arm and left leg, and the left
arm and right leg. By "diogonal
movement" is meant that the Giagon-
al limbs during lucometion always
swing in the game direction. The
arms. swing by the body like couple
of pendulums, and with speed which
entirely depends upon the rate at
which he may be walking. The
athlete anxious to complete the
given number of "laps" in
mile or couple of miles and outstrip
his competitor, swings his arm to and
fro with quickness which CORE
spends with tae motion of his swift
feet; the business man also swings his
arms with motion which, if not so
quick, exactly times with the motion
of his legs, Now, if the motion be
even carelessly observed, it will be
found that the right arm swings for
ward at the same time as the left leg,
and when the right leg is advancing
it is the left arm which accompanies
it. This diagonal movement of the
limbs is the natural method adopted
by man when walking, and it is the
first and most apparent fact that one
ascertains in studying human locon0-

Gen. Diaz has secured the adoption
of a law by twenty out OF twenty
seven Mexican states, which effectual-
ly muzzles the press. The Mexican
constitution says: 1.-THE liberty of
writing and of publishing writings on
any subject is invoilable." The law
has hitherto punished the publication
of matter melting to revolution, sub
versiye of public morals, or ibelous,
the trial being by jury. Diaz's new
law permits the editor to be put in
prison upon complaint under either of
these three heads, without bail, until
the alcalde sees fit to try him. This is
an outrage on the press. Diaz, who is
now chief justice, is scheming to Sc
cure a reelection to the presidency
after the expiration of the term of
Gonzales, who is merely warming
pan for Diaz.

A Neglected Disinfectnnt

When the household OF our grand

the burning result through the house
But now, this simple method of disin.

out any good and sufficient reason.
The principal reason is neither good
nor sutficient-viZ., that nobody can
patent it and sell it in shilling and
half-crown bottles. On the 18th of
September last, NJ. d'Abbadie read a
paper at the Academy of Sciences
on Marsh Fevers," and stated that
IN the dangerous regions of african
river mouths immunity from such
fevers Is often secured by sulphur
fumlgations on the naked body. Also
that the Slcilian workers in low
ground sulphur mines suffer much
less than the rest of the surrounding
population from intermittent fevers.

10000 when it was the centre of sui

A Republican Expression.

Leading Article, New York Tribune.l
As for Mr.. Randall himself, he will
probably be speaker of the house. In
that position a man can WELD conSid-
cradle influence if he tries, and Mr..
Randall knows how to try. He is a
fine specimen of Democratic Penn
sylvanian-a man who believes in a
protective tariff. but is opposed to its
enforcement. The tendency of
events in all recent Democratic con-
yentions has been favorable to his as
pirations, and he would really help
his party just where it is weakest
with Democrats who know that their
interests require protection. 1t would
seem to many of them that Mr.. Ran
dali would be able to twist his party
around to ii protective view of things.

Mumford, daughter of the late
Mormon prophet, Brigham Young,
and self-divorced. Miss Young, or

Eliza, the prophets nineteenth spouse,

went beyond the business character OF
their relations, and Hogan's attentions
to the fair Mrs. Mumford so affected
his wife that she became insane and
was sent to an asylum in Kentucky.
After getting rid of his wife Hogan
and his Mormon client went down to
Socorro, New Mexico, the scandal
mongers of Salt Lake City making
their stay in the latter place some

Socorro only a short time when Mrs.
