these artificial legs, and such thing
as a fall is unknown.
a person who can add six feet to the
length of his legs naturally has a
great advantage over those who must
walk with limbs of ordinary length.
The French farmers mounted in this
way are almost a match, in point of
speed, for horse, and a shepherd can
outrun dog in rounding up his sheep.
The silt walkers can even run at sur
prising speed through very rough
country or through underbrush sever
al feet in height.
A race was recently run near Bor-
deaux between three picked horses,
three silt walkers and three pedes-
trians. Only one of the horses fin
ished. 1t arrived first, but only about
20 minutes ahead of the first stilt
walker. The last of the silt walkers
completed the course ~ hours ahead
of the first pedestrians.
The stills used by the French peas
ants are entirely different from those
sometimes used by children in the
United States. The stills which serve
"a toys in America, as rule, reach up
to the armpits, or at least to within
reach of the hands. The French stills
do not reach even to the knee. The
French stills have, besides, much
broader rest for the foot.
The Frenchman never touches the
stills with his hands. They are
strapped rigidly to his foot and leg,
thus leaving both hands free to carry
his long staff or any other burden.
All the silt walkers worthy of the
name are able to mount their stills
without assistance. The children
learn to walk on great stills almost as
soon as they can walk, and men over 80
years old still retain their curious ar
tificial legs.-Detroit Free Press.
