Why One Foot Is Faster.

Almost everyone walks faster with
one foot than with the ether, accord
ing to a scientist who has studied
the subject. In a majority of cases it
is the right foot that outdoes the
left, but some left-handed persons
also walk bit faster with their left.
This, argues the scientist, is not due
solely to any failure Of the sense of
direction, but to the fact that one of
the wanderers feet was impercepti-
bly, moving faster than the other.
Under ordinary circumstances a
pedestrian turns corners, cuts into a
different road. or is carried in one
general direction by the course of a
highway or street. And he does not
attempt to walk in one exact line,
but moves about more or less freely
Thus the speed of his step is equal
lied and the difference is not appar-
emit
AS a proof that a person does not
walk in straight line the scientist
proposes a test which he saws has
proved almost unfailing. That is. to
place two sticks about eight feet
apart, then start from a distance Of
90 feet away while bl!ndfoded and
try to pass between the sticks. He
found that very few persons could
successfully accomplish it.
