niHicuIt WritIno.

It is easy to write with the hand
and after considerable practice one
can learn to write a few letters or
numbers with the foot. Try, how
ever, to write two or three letters with
the foot and hand simultaneously, and
you will find it extremely diflcult.
Yet IL you practice long enough YOU
can in time learn to do it. Here is a
feat which, according to those who
have tried it, is practically impos-
sible, though q few admit that it may
be accomplished by persons Of extra
ordinary patience. It also consists in
writing a few letters or numbers with
the hand and foot, but in this case the
letters are to be written in the normal
direction by the hand and in the or.
posite direction or backward BY the
foot, and it is precisely herein that
the great difficulty lies. Those who
desire to try this experiment need not
use either pen or pencil. Just let
them draw letters Of a large size on
two sheets Of paper and then see il
they can move hand and foot over the
lines simultaneously, but in opposite
directions.

be none the less profound because OF
the inability to give them verbal ut
