A regimental physician in the
French army has investigated the eff
feet upon soldiers OF regular marching
in disciplined bodies. The uniformity
Of the soldiers step causes the indef-
inite repetition OF a shock OF the brain
and bones, and consequently the mode
of motion Is far more dele,erious ,hnn
IN irregular walk. He attributes the
peculiar aches and pains OF the men TO
the fact that the same parts OF the
body receive the series OF shocks.
What does the doctor suggest by way
OF rclief7 Experiments have shown that
his plan Is eiiieaelous. The device Is
simple: A rubber heel for all military
boots. The hraln-Jar and other un.
favorable sensations are so diminished
as to give the lnfantrymen new lease
OF activity. The relative efficiency OF
the army may thus be increased by
w'ha: nigh, be considered an unlmpor-
tant change. The scale might be
turned in long and close contest in
favor OF the rubbcr.hecled men, and
the map OF Europe altered.
