the ground that there was no contract
existing between the son and the

Why do the |. ost Walk in Circles?

The question is often asked, why is it
that person who is lost, whether it be
be in dense wood or on prairie, in
variably moves in a circle, and always to
the right: No satisfactory answer has
ever been given for this ell-known
popularity under the circumstances
mentioned.
Some Psychologists, anatomists, and
speculative philosophers claim that tho
left leg in the human species is slightly
longer than the right. and so takes Ion
per steps, thus causing motion to the
right which in time completes circlo, if
the mind is SO bewildered that it has no
fixed objective point in view. Perhaps
the real answer to this queor question
lies in the fact that most persons use
their right hands in preference to the
lefe, and are accustomed o passing op-
jects on their righthand side, and so. un-
consciously. keep edging off to the right
On a prairie, however, where there is
nothing in the way Of obstacles worthy
of mention, this cause or reason for
walking in right handed circle would
hardly hold good.
Does any reader know, adds tho Saint
Louis Republic, whether it is fact or
not that left-handed persons who are
lost mako the circle in an opposite direc.
tiop to that make by a right handed
person?
