DRlLLER BURNED BY GAS FIRE.

Pennington, Nov 2S.--A driller and
a helper have been severely burned
about the hands by gas from the well
which is being drilled at this point

TROT OR GALLOP?
A Problem For People with Even
Very sharp Eyes.

Very sharp Eyes.
Here is problem for people with
sharp eyes: As we all know, a horse
when walking or trotting advances
only one leg OF each pair at time, but
when galloplng lifts both forcfeet to.
gcthcr and then both hind feet Now.
the question Is how other animals man
age this matter. The birds, Of course
flap both wings together, but which
birds run and which hop? We human
beings "trot" when we walk and gal
lop' when we swlm-that Is. If we are
using the plain breast stroke. The dog
however. "tr1ts" for both. Now, do
the nmphih )us animalS-the seals OF.
tcrs ana tie rest-swim like men or
like other four footed creatures?
Then there are the fish. One would
rather expect that, as they move their
tails from side 70 side. they would flap
alternately with the fins, which are
their hands ana feet. Who can tell
whether they do or not. and whether
all fish at all times follow one rulei
BY the way, how does a frog use It's
hands, The great anatomist T.. Ray
Lancaster, has pointed out that, while
the thousand legs" such as our com-
mon galleyworm, advance two feet @,
pair together, the ccn,lpeds, which
are much like them, do exactly the op-
positc, and the swimming worms also
alternate the stroke OF each pair OF
paddles.
Few people can tell on which system
the caterpillar manages its dozen or SO
legs or whether the adult insect walks,
trots, PAGES or gallops ON its six. How
does the spider use eight? Altogether,
this is large field for observation. %
field too, where any one may discover
new facts as yet uurccorded. and thus
