HOW We WALK,

Tho Muscles Used and the Mechanical
Work They DO.
me chief muscles concerned in walk
ing arc those in the calf and back OF
leg, which by pulling up the heel, also
pull up the bones of the foot connected
! with 1T. and then the whole body. the
weight of which is passed through the
bones OF the leg. When walking the
trunk is thrown forward so that it
would fall down PROSTATE were not the
right foot planted in time to support it.
Inc calf muscles are helped in this &C.
ton by those on the front of the trunk
and legs, which contract and pull the
body forward, and the trunk slantinp
forward when the heel is raised by the
calf muscles, the whole body will be
raised and pushed forward and nm
ward. This advancement of each leg
IS erected partly by muscular action.
the muscles used being (frst) those on
the front of the thigh, bending it for
ward on the pelvis; (second) the ham,
str'ng muscles, which slightly bend the
;eg on the thigh; (third) the muscles on
the front of the leg, which raise tho
'front.' OF the foot and toes, preventing
The latter, in swinging forward, from
n1tchlng In the ground. When one
loot has reached the gsound the action
u the other has not ceased.
There is another point in walking
Inc body is constantly supported and
ga lanfed on each leg alternately and. !
therefore, on only one at once. Hence !
mere must be some means for throw ;
ng the center of gravity over the line

eg as it supports the weight of the
body. This is done in various WAYS.
Ind hence the differences in the walk

ccompan1ed by a movement of tho

 Good Work of the Bremen.

A supposed incendiary blaze was discov cred in tbe second story of the two and a half story frams dwelling of Mir. J. T. Wilson, on Sixth avenue, between I've ty-s, c)nd and Twenty third streets, last nigut al 810 o'clock. An alarm was turned in from box 13 and the department responded promptly. The bl zs gained considerable Eeadway, and josi after d line of hose had been laid a North Birmingham dummy ran over it, cutting II in twain. This caused a delay, another line hsving to be iald.
 N itn some good work the fire was ex- tinguished after it had burned off the top of the middle portion of the house and had burned the second story.
 The damage by fire and water will be be- tween $500 and 5000. Both MT. Wilson and family were away from home at the time, and it is generally supposed that it was the work of some incendiary. The damage is covered by insurance.
