Why rhey walk bal ciroIes.

''If you were lost In a desert or In q
forest and tried to find yorr way out.''.
says a well known scientist, "you
would be almost sure to walk in n
circle" This well known fact is due
10 a slight inequality In the length of
the legs. Careful measurements Of a
series of skeletons have shown that
only 10 per cent had the lower limbs
equal In length. 30 per cent had the
right lirab longer than the left. while
I'm 50 per cent the left limb was the
longer. e.,
The result Of one limb being longer
than the other will naturally be that a
person will unconsciously take longer
step with the longer limb. and conse-
quently will trend to the right or left.
according as the left or right leg is the
longer. The left leg being more fire.
quently the longer. tho, inclination
should take place morel frequently to
the right than to the left, and this con-
clusion Is quite borne out by observa-
tions made on n number of persons
when walking blindfolded. The I'm.
equality in the length of limb is not
confined to any sex or race. but seems
TO be universal In all respects.

Two Wonderful Clocks.

One OF the most wonderful clocks in
the world Is owned by Frenchman,
Louis Descutter. 1t is mounted on a
Louis Seize stand and has four faces.
Besides marking the hours, 1t shows
the tides at six different parts of the
world. the mean time and the solar
time. the age Of the moon, the move.
ments OF the planets aud all eclipses.
1t is also perpetual calendar. 1t was
made by Janvler Of Paris in 1850 and
took eleven years to manufacture.
San Diego, Cal, has wonderful
clock with twenty dials. which tell the
time simultaneously in all parts Of the
world. also the days of the week and
the date AMI month. 1t stands twenty
one feet high. and four of its dIals are
each four feet In diameter. 1t is in
closed In plate glass, so that every ac-
ton can be seen. and the whole is illu.

The mechanisms which regulate the
chain tenders are installed on either

is used for raising and lowering the
chains. The action Of the fender when
struck by boat is modified in part by
the friction produced In the machinery,

The Indian legend of the Grand can
yon is picturesque. There was great
chief who Eiourned the death of his
wife and would not be comfortcd. To
him came Ta-vwoats, one Of the In.

was In n happier land to which he
would take him that he might see for
himself II upon his return he would
cease to mourn. The chief promised.
Then Ta-vwoats made trail through
the mountains that guarded that beau.
tiful land. This trail was the canyon
gorge OF the Colorado. Through 1t Ta-
vwoats led the chief. and when they
had returned the god exacted from the
chief promise that he would tell no
one of its joys lest. through discomfort
with the circumstances OF this world,
others should desire to go there. Then
Ta-vwoats rolled river into the gorge,
a mad. raging stream. that should en-
gulf any that might attempt to enter
thereby. This river was the Colorado.

A Test of PHILOSOPHY.

Slowbetter is a calm man, not easily
upset. On one occasion, as his motor
car had come to a sudden stop, he
crawled underneath 1t to see what was
the matter.
Somehow or other some petrol ig-

smoke came forth, enveloping Slowbet-

walked to one side with his usual slow
and regular step. His face was black,
his eyebrows and eyelashes were
singed, and what was left Of his hair

Portuguese and Goldfish,

1t is an Interesting fact that the fish
crmen of northern Portugal started
and developed the fishing industry on
the banks off the northern coast Of
America, and, though they now send
fewer ships, their taste for salt cod
from Newfoundland is unabated-in
fact, it is a national Portuguese dainty.
1t is found in every little grocery shop,
hard and brown as a board. A number
of Portuguese have made their homes
on the islands to the south Of the main
land of Massachusetts, and there the
dark eyes Of the Iherian maiden, raven
locks and a certain picturesque element
in dress are not infrequent. This con-
nection with Portugal dates back many
years, the ships Of Marthas Vineyard

turning with Portuguese crews.-Ex-
