HOW CHILDREN WALK.
The Way an Infant Learns To-
Move Around.
An English Scientist Has Taken Pictures
Of His Little Daughter on All Fours
and Talks Very LearnedIy
of Evolution.

Scientific enthusiasm led one gentle
man to botanic on his mothers grave,
but there is a man now living in Eng
land who has experimental upon his
ten-months-old child during period of
months for the purpose of securing new
light on the theory of evolution. The
results of these experiments, this en-
thusiast promises, will soon be pub
lished in book form
Henry NJ. Stanley started the discus
sion by writing letter to n newspaper
in which he gave some of his observa-
tions among the native tribes of Africa
as to their instructive attitudes. 1t APP
pears that primitive man didn't have
any attitudes except those assumed for
some specific purpose, and that he
used the right and left arms equally
we'll.
But heredity has made us almost a
race of right-handed people, with re-
sulting structural alterations in our
frames and tissues. Ii was thus that
the hind legs of the kangaroo grew to
an enormous size, while the forelegs
diminished to insignifcance, and in the
process of evolution the logical scientist
can foresee race of men with pro-
digious right arms, bald-hcaded las
hair is now of no use) and possibly
toothless, since the introduction of
canned meats.
When we are born, the man of science
tells us, we inherit certain tendencies,
which rapidly manifest themselves and
grow on what they feed on. This is
illustrated by the photograph of his lit
tie child, which the English enthusiast
has taken and rushed into print. The
child was little girl, and the father
photographed her as she moved up and
down the path in his garden almost
naked.
Here is what he says in his letter to
the editor of Nature:
This picture is of my Youngest child,
taken when she was ten months old.
She never crawled, but always pro-
crossed on all tours, and this photo,
graph, taken instantaneously, shows
her mode of travel to and fro on the
garden path.
The interesting thing about it is
this, that the gait is front and back

legs on opposite sides, like dog or a
cat-not on the same side, like camel.
This is resort which the evolutionist
would have predicted, though, of
course, we show a relic of the same
habit in walking by swinging the arm
on the opposite side and not on the
same side as the leg. In this photo
graph, too, the heel and toe action OF
the hind limbs is instructive"
One of his children, says the en-
thusiast, in addition to the ordinary
crawl, used to progress in a sort of
three-legged fashion, using the left
hand and the right foot for the for
ward step, resting itself on the shank
of the left leg tucked under its body,
and using this as a foot to bring for
ward its body for the next step.
The bandaging, swaddling, carrying
and wheeling about which the civ
ilized infant has suffered for many gen.
erations partly accounts, says he, for
the rarity of the quadrupedal mode of
progression by having hindered de-
velopment of muscularity.
1t is possible, however, that the an
tics of his child which 50 astonished
this scientist were but another illus
tration of the theory of evolution, and
that the child itself, inheriting the
scientific instinct from it's father, was
performing a series of experiments so
as to learn the best way to walk.

A Fin de Steele DIogenes.

A man had a quarrel with his
wife which led to a breach of the
peace. The woman took her revenge
by refusing to speak to him for
several days. The husband, who was
good natured enough when not ex-
cited, could not bear this protracted
silence any longer, and thought of a
way to break the spell. One afternoon,
says the Thuringer Monatsblatt, he
lighted candle. stuck it in lantern,
and, while his wife was sitting in the
room, busy sewing, he began to look
under the table, the chairs, etc, as
though he had lost something. At this
the wife could not help laughing, and
she asked him: what are you looking
for?" Delighted at having gained his
point he cheerfully replied: 81 was
looking for your tongue"

No loyal friend of Geo. Paschal
will dishonor his memory by vot-
ing for Callaghan.
Jump into the Elmendorf band
wagon, boys, il you want to ride.
The Callaghan hack is stuck in
the mud.
With Elmendorf, backed by his
splendid board Of councilmen, our
city will be safe, and our business
interest cared for properly.
II you think it Is too hot down
town take a ride in the open cattle
car out to West End, and you will
even forget about the election.
The Callaghan ticket are paying
the Guatemalan army 30 cents
each for marching in the parade
tonight.
No self-respecting voter who
voted to turn down Callaghanism
two years ago, will vote for Gala
CHAN on the llth.
A little school girl sends the
LIGHT the following: "Hurrah for
the red and white; the Elmendorf
boys are still ahead"
No matter how safe the Elmen-
dorf ticket may seem, remember
it's fight against the most un-
scrupulous gang Of ringsters that
ever cursed our local affairs.
The Express picture artist
should not fail to print the
portraits OF the prominent com.
mauders of the Guatemalan bril-
gands.
To save the Express the trouble
OF asking the question: "Tom
Johnson voted for Noonan,
Schmitz, and James McClusky.
Two in three won.
The Elmendorf committee are
not as dead as the Callaghanites
would like to believe. They will
wake up on election day. See II
they don't!
There are a whole lot OF good
people,-even manly citizens, who
have been drawn into the Callag-
han net who wish that the election
was over and Callaghan defeated.
You will have your hearts desire,
never fear.
The good citizen who Is support
ing Callaghan is sending up his
prayer night and morning that he
will be defeated-Your prayer shall
be heard. There are enough people
who vote and have the courage OF
their convictions to prevent any
such affliction as another Gala
CHAN reign. Rest quiet, timid soul,
there Is God in Israel.
Ifany man, with a grain OF sense,
is supporting Callaghan with an
idea that he can be elected, let him
glance at the registration figures
Callaghan counts on the Mexican
vote; it only amounts to 1858,
tramps and all-not 1000 will vote
and they will be divided. The
other nationalities are largely for

haps have fine fields of vegetables and
has only shipped a portion to supply the
early demand. What becomes Of the re-
mainder? Under the present system it
is allowed to rot in the fields. Thousands
of bushels of tomatoes, cucumbers.
beans, etc, etc., are allowed to rot be-
cause they cannot be profitably mar
keted This system must change if the
hungry gap is to be bridged. We must
continue to produce all we can but we
must stop wasting and save everything.
We believe that in every community
where vegetables are or can be raised
there should be canning factories to util-
ize this waste product. After the price
for the truck in the North falls below
profitable point, these factories should
be started up and everything the truck
farm produces saved. There may not
be fortunes in this but there is GER
tainly saving of something. The veg
vegetables are all grown, and anything
that can be secured for them over and
above the cost of canning is all clear
profit. These canneries are not at all
expensive. While we do not think it
would be good policy for every farmer
to put in u canning outfit to can his
surplus, the matter might be easily ar,
ranged by several clubbing together in
settlement and purchasing the neces-
sary machinery. We believe this plan
promises at least some relief to the suf-
fering Floridlan, and will furnish him
with some of the material for construct
ing the bridge across the hungry gap.

Floridians for the next few years; they must not
only produce all they can but they must save
and utilize everything they produce. OF course
they should have done this all along. but now
there is an actual necessity for this.
Undoubtedly it will 'be hard scratching" for the
next few years and every penny saved or made
will count. We have the utmost confidence that
FlOridians will be equal to the emergency and
will come out ahead in the long run. 1t will per-
haps be hard fight but when the victory is won
they will appreciate it just that much more.
