Ling Loo and the Giant.

(NZ1 ] .&S Little Ling Loo
 Found a giants shoe; The shoe was broad and deep.
 Ling Loo got inside
 And did gayly ride Across the ocean deep.
 To an isle he went
 On adventure bent, As he sailed in the giants shoe. So he landed awhile
 On the bonny isle, For he'd nothing else to do.
 While he rested there
 In the fresh night air A step was heard hard by.
 lJuk lSOO tOOh d ptcp
 Up the mountain steep; Then, frightened, began to cry. For a giant strode
 Der the mountain road, Coming straight towards little Ling Loo And one foot was bare
 As it cleft the air, For the giant wore but one shoe.
 "Ah, ha .'' he cried,
 When Ling Loo he spied, Little chap, you've got my shoe. But, come, dry your eye;
 You needn't cry. For I'll tell you what I'll do.
 "Ill let you stand
 On my outstretched hand; It will bridge the ocean deep.
 Then, when say Go"
 Be ready, you know, To make the homestretch leap"
 So little Ling Loo
 Did what you would do He jumped on the giants hand; And with one mighty leap
 Crossed the ocean deep To his own celestial land. Annie James.

II was clearly demonstrated that the

The effect OF these motions is, first.
to lengthen the stride, which in \

astonishing distance of 26 TO q feet;
second, to bring the muscles OF the
backbone into play in the propulsion
of the animal, just as the muscles or

This demonstration has attracted
wide attention among students OF the
