forest invariably walk in a circle, is due to
slight inequality In the length of the legs. saws
the Toronto Truth. Careful measurements of
a series OF skeletons have shown that only 10
per cent, had the lower limbs equal in length,
IS per cent. had the right limb longer than the
left, while in IS per cent the left was the longer
The result OF one limb being longer than the
other will naturally be that person will uncon-
sciously take longer step with the longer limb
and consequently will trend to the right or to
| the left according as the right or left is tbs
longer, unless the deviation is corrected by the
