The Paper
HOW RAPIDLY YOU WALK.
Simple Method Of Determining Dis
tance Covered In a Stated Time.

There is I very simple way OF telling
at what speed one walks. says the Chill
dren's Magazine. Take 4 piece of thin
string. say. eighty to Il hundred yards
long. To II end tie a weight-a piece
of lead or other metal or even Il stone.
At 4 point furty-four feet from the
weight put Il knot or loop. Then put
Il second knot OF loop forty-fuur feet
from the first. and so on the entire
length of the string put a series of
knots or loops forty-f"ur feet apart.
Take in one hand a watch with a
second hand. Now drop the weight
upon the ground and walk along at an
ordinary pace letting the weight re-
main where it fell and allowing the
knots or loops to slip through II
hand. The number Of knots or loops
to slip through the hand in half Il min
ute are the same as the number Of
miles walked in an hour.
1t is always we'll to know the reason
for what We Go. 1t is not enough to
know that the number of times We
walk forty-four feet in half Il minute
is the same as the number of miles We
walk in an hour. We ought to know
