HOW A MAN WALKS.
Mechanism of the EXERCISE and the
Muscles Brought Into Play.

Muscles Brought Into Psay.
The chief muscles concerned In
walking, says the London Hospital,
are those in the calf and back of the
leg, which, by pulling up the heel,
also pull up the bones of the foot
connected with it, and then the
whole body, the weight Of which is
passed on through the bones of the
leg. When walking, the trunk is
thrown forward so that it would fall
down prostrate were not the right
foot planted in time to support it.
The calf muscles are helped in this
action by those on the front of the
trunk End legs, which contract and
pull the body forward, and the trunk
slanting forward when the heel is
raised by the calf muscles, the whole
body will be raised and pushed for
ward and upward. This advance
ment of each leg is effected partly
by muscular action, the muscles used
being q) those on the front of the
thigh, bending 1t forward on the,
pelvis; (2) the hamstring muscles,
which slightly bend the leg on the
thigh; (3) the muscles on the front
of the leg, which raise the front Of
the foot and toes, preventing the
latter, in swinging forward, from
hitching in the ground.
When one foot has reached the
ground the action Of the other has
not ceased. There is another point
in walking. The body is constantly
supported and balanced on each leg
alternately, and therefore on only
one at once. Hence there must be
some means for throwing the center.
of gravity over the line of support
formed by the bones of each leg, as
it supports the weight of the body.
This is done In various ways, and
hence the difference in the walk Of
different people. There may be
slight rotation OF the hip joint,
bringing the center of gravity of the
body over the foot of this side. This
rocking" motion of the trunk and
thigh is accompanied by movement
of the whole trunk and leg over the
foot planted On the ground, and is
accompaniedb by q compensating cut
ward movement at the hip. The
body rises and swings alternately
from one side to the other as Its CEN
ter of gravity comes alternately over
one or the other leg, and the curva-
ture of the spinal Zones Is altered
with the varying position Of the
waipht

IN PREHISTORIC MICHIGAN.
Skeletons, Some Eleven Feet Tall,
Unearthed at Crystal Lake.

Skeletons, Some Eleven Feet Tall,
Unearthed at Crystal Lake.
The mounds on the south side OF
Crystal lake in Montcalm county
have been opened and prehistoric
race unearthed, says the Ludington
Record. One contained five skele-
tons and the other three. In the
first mound was an earthen tablet,
FIVE inches long, four wide and half
an inch thick. It was divided into
four quarters. On one of them were
inscribed queer characters. The
skeletons were arranged in thc'same
relative positions, so fur as the
mound is concerned. In the other
mound there was a casket of earthen-
ware, ten and one-half INCHES long
and three and one-half inches wide.
The cover bore various inscriptions.
The characters found upon the tab
let were also prominent upon the
casket. Upon opening the casket
q copper coin about the size of a
two-cent piece was revealed, to-
gether with several stone types,
with which the inscription or marks
upon both tablet and caket had evi-
dently been made. There were also
two pipes, one of stone and the other
OF pottery, and apparently Of the
same material as the casket. Other
pieces of pottery were found SO bad
ly broken as to furnish no clcw as to
what they might have been used for.
Some of the bones of the skeletons
were we'll preserved, showing that
the dead men must have been per-
sons Of huge proportions. The low
er jaw is immense. An ordinary jaw
bone fits inside with ease. By.heas-
urement the distance from the top
of the skull to the upper end Of the
thigh bone of the largest skeleton
was FIVE feet five inches. A doctor
who was presentstated that the man
must have been at least eleven feet
high. One of these mounds was
partly covered by apine stump three
feet six inches in diameter aud the
ground showed no signs of ever hav-
ing been disturbed. The digging
had to be done among tia roots,
which had o large spread.

ELECTRICITY AS A FAD.
American and Other NotabIes Who
Have Taken Up the Study.

nave aken Up inc Stuoy'
The number of wealthy persons in
this country who study electricity
as hobby or means of recreation is
becoming large, says the New York
Post, and it is believed that with
the now universal practice Of in
cluding electricity as a part OF
the curriculum at our schools and
colleges the ranks Of such amateurs
are destined to receive many i'm
portant accessions. In Europe,
young Emperor William is said to
be among the devotees of eloctrici-
ty, while the zest with which the
marquis of Salisbury and his
nephew, Arthur Balfour, go in for
electrical work is well known. In
New York city one OF our very rich
young men spends much of his time
and money in the improvement OF
electrical launches; and another
wealthy member of an old family in
the interior of the state has made
valuable researches, including some
on the consumption Of carbon iuithe
primary battery, as g step toward
getting electricity directly from
coal. Note is now made of the sum-
mer diversions of a New York bank
er at Schroon lake, where this elec-
trical amateur has built and main
tains for himself and his neighbors
q beautiful little electric light plant,
and where he operates an electric
launch, an electric dingy, search
light, q laboratory and some other
triaes. In this way not only is
steady amusement derived through
the summer, but many usefnl hints
and points are picked up that the
commercial concerns are glad to
avail themselves of, and not q little
interesting work of real scientific
value is also the result.

A Very Interesting Scrapbook.

Among the scrapbooks which o
benevolent woman has made for chill
dren's hospitals and asylums is one
on novel lines. She allowed her chill
dren to help her, thii-:;ing they
would not only be pleasantly en-
ployed, but also learn In this way
the pleasures of working for others,
and become interested in charitable
undertakings. Between them, they
cut out o number of figures from
newspaper and periodical. advertise
ments, until they had whole fam
lily Of paper dolls. These they put
into On envelope and pasted In the
front OF q cheap scrapbook, bought
for the purpose. On the rest of the
pages, or, rather, on every other
page, they made the rooms ofa house
for the paper dolls to live in. They
pasted pretty papers on the page for
carpetings, using small-fgured wall
paper, usually. Then they cut out
and put on this, pictures OF arti-
cles of furniture appropriate to the
several rooms. The children were
kept happily employed for many
days this summer, hunting up and
cutting out what was required, and
displayed no mean ability in con-
structing the apartments. No one
can doubt with what favor the result
will be received at its destination

DIR. LuYs' EXPERIMENT.
u Proves That Hypnotism Is Related
to Electric Magnetism.

A series of very wonderful expert
ments, which have just been coz
cluded by DR.. Luys, of Paris, whose
observations and discoveries IN con-
nection with magnetism and cleo
tricity in relation to hypnotism made
o profound impression upon the
scientific world some time ago, has
led to q remarkable result, The
latest discovery establishes the fact
that the cerebral activity can be
transferred to q crown Of magnet
lied iron, In which the activity can
be retained and subsequently, passed
on to 6 second person. Incredible as
this may seem, DR.. Luys has proved
It's possibility by the experiments
Just referred to. He placed the
crown, which in reality is only cir
cular band of magnetized iron, on
the head of q female patient suffer
ing from melancholia, with o mania
for self-destructicn, and with such
success was the experiment attended
that within a fortnight the patient
could be allowed to go free without
danger, the crown having absorbed
oil her marked tendencies. About
two weeks afterwards he put the
same crown, which meanwhile had
been carefully kept free from con-
tact with anything else, on the head
of male patient suffering from hys
terra, complicated by frequent re-
current periods Of lethargy. The
patient was then hypnotized and
Immediately comported himself after
the manner Of the woman who had
previously worn the crown. Indeed,
he practically assumed her person
ality and uttered exactly the same
complaints as she had done. Sim
liar phenomena have, it is re-
ported, been observed in the case Of
every patient experimental upon.
Another experiment showed that
the crown retained the impression
acquired until it was made red hot.

The Bride and Groom Unable to Say Why

One stormy day recently handsome

ribbon flying at the pole, says a cor
respondent of the Pittsburgh Dispa tch.
Everybody paused long enough to take
a second look at il, and everyb body who
did saw more white ribbon tied in the
door handles. AS il went by the cab
men congregated in front of the Fifth
Avenue hotel turned and stared, and
the gentlemen loungers within rubbed
their noses against the plate glass at
the CURIOUS sight. Behind the carriage
and pendant from the axle swung a
dainty white kid slipper by a white
ribbon And the wind blew and the
snow and rain swept by in vicious
gusts, and the mud and water splashed
the white ribbon and fieczed the deli
cate little slipper; but the bright
young couple, snugly wrapped to the
chin on the back seat, were blissfully
unconscious of all. II is possible they

HUNGRY BEARS.
AD Interesting study I'm Their Way ef
Feeding.

The black bear and the grizzly must
be closely alike in their manner of
feeding, according to the descriptions
given by Mr.. Roosevelt in his book,
The Wilderness Hunter" He once
watched a black bear for half an hour.
At first, he says, the fellow was ''shuf-
fling along and roofing in the ground,
SO that he looked like a great pig.
Then he began to turn over logs and
stones to hunt for insects. small rep
tiles and the like. \ moderate sized
stone he would turn over with a single
clap of his paw and then plunge his
nose into the hollow to gobble up the
small creatures beneath
Big logs and rocks he would tug and
worry at with both paws. Once, over
eXcrting his clumsy strength, he lost
his grip and rolled clean on his back.
Under some of the logs he evidently
found mice and chipmunks; then, as
soon as the log was overturned, he
would be seen jumping about with
grOtesque agility and making quick
dabs here and there, as the scurrying
little rodent turned and twisted, until
at last he put his paw on it and
scooped it into his mouth.

plentiful bears are lazy, but commonly
they are obliged to be very industrious,
since it is no light task to gather
enough ants. beetles, crickets, tumble
bugs, roots and nuts to satisfy the
cravings of so huge a bulk.
The true time of plenty for bears is
the berry season. Then they feast
ravenously on buckle berries, blueber-
ries, lxinnikinic berries, buffalo ber-
ries, wild plums, elderberries and
scores of other fruits. They often
smash all the bushes in a berry patch,
gathering the fruit with half-lux-
uriouS half-laborious greed. sitting on
their launches and sweeping the ber-
ries into their mouths with dexterous
paws.
