Why Lost People Walk In Circles.

It. is a matter Of common knowledge
that when a man is walking blindfold
or is lost in a fog or in some unknown
forest or desert instead of walking
straight he has always a tendency to
work round in a circle. The most
commonly accepted explanation Of this
curious fact is the slight inequality In
the length of a mans legs. The result
Of n limb being longer than the
other Will naturally be that a person
will unconsciously take q longer step
with the longest limb, and conse-
~quently will trend to the right or to
the left, according as the left or right
is the longer, unless the tendency to
deviation is corrected by the eye. The
explanation is supported by the fact
that iii the enormous majority of cases
the human legs are proved TO be bf
unequal length. The careful measure
ments of q series of skeletons showed
that no less than ninety per cent. had
the lower limbs unequal in length;
t~hirty-tive per cent. had the right limb
longer than the left, while in fifty-fve
per cent. the left leg was the longer.
The left leg being, therefore, more
often the longest, it is TO be expected
that the inclination should take place
more frequently to the right than to
the left, and this conclusion is quite
borne out by observations made on a
number of persons when walking
