the slow weight carrier has a short

good examples of this principle. A
horse can always get away from all
elephant, if the going is any way
good. If the going is bad the ele-
plant will catch the horse. But it is
not speed, it is the ability to nego-
tate bad ground that makes the diff
ference. Yet, because Of his great
strength, the elephant is remarkably
speedy for his bulk and build. A
running man would soon be tired out
by an elephant walking at moderate
speed.
Being a weight carrier, the ele
phant is built with perpendicular
legs. His hind legs, particularly, are
pillars to carry his weight. The
thigh bones are long and heavy ana
the muscles are laid on parallel to
the axis of the pillar. The lighter
bones of the lower leg are short and
the foot is short. For the leg IS
compound lever with the ankle as
the fulcrum and the point where the
toe rests on the ground as the point
Ct resistance. The weight carrier
must have short, strong foot, for
if is the bones Of the foot--the mid
dle toe especially--that bear the
weight and support the pressure
when the ground is spurned in mo-
ton.
In the speed animal, on the Other
hand, the thigh bone is short and this
mass of the muscle is high up SO as
tc bring the center of gravity Of the
leg high. For this mass of muscle
has the effect Of the bob on a pen
dulum and the higher it is set the
faster the pendulum swings. This.
however, is incidental, for it is by no
means true that in walking or run
ming the action is that of pendu-
lum. The pendulum action is Incl
dental, while the true action is that
of falling forward and recovering
the balance and is not automatic,
but is wholly coordinated muscu-
lar effort.

straight, but wide angled The

Sixty Miles an Hour

September 10, 1919. Dir. Andrews
drove an antelope ahead CT him that
showed burst of speed of sixty
miles an hour for the better part of
mile He found that thirty miles
an hour was. just the ordinary
travelling job of the antelope and
mat he can easily average thirty
hve miles. Moreover, this is not
sprint, tremendous effort for
mile or a mile and half, but the
antelope will keep it up for the full
hour and put on an extra effort
whenever called upon. For it is the
nablt Of the antelope to run just
last enough to keep away from the
pursuer. His speed is the only pro
lection nature has given him; he is
not fighter by disposition and is
not provided with fighting weapons,
and he has the intelligence to con-
serve>his protective speed to the last
ounce.

ter than thirty miles an hour, going
on three legs. Another time he shot
an antelope in the fore leg, breaking
the leg The beast was travelling at
high speed, and the broken piece of
the leg, swinging freely, broke the
other front leg. With both fore legs
broken the antelope went several
miles at better than twenty miles an
hour.
This seems to show that the ante
lope differs from the horse in that
when running the antelope's fore
legs serve only as crutches to sup
port the front part of the body, all
the speed and power coming from
the spring of the hind legs. The
antelope, in other words, pushes him
self along with his hind legs. The
horse both pushes with his hind legs
and drags with his fore legs. He digs
his front toes in and pulls himself
forward while he pushes with his
hind legs.
All running has been described as
process of falling forward. The
center of gravity of the body is
thrown forward and the legs are
then brought ahead to restore the
balance. The chicken is splendid
illustration. The chicken begins the
action of running by thrusting the
head far forward, and just as it is
on the point of falling it swings one
leg for-' ard and restores the bal
ance. The other leg is then brought
up and the still outthrust head once
more overbalances, but the contin-
ued stride restores the equilibrium
again. The run of the chicken is
the constant repetition of this series
of actions.
On What Speed Depends
The same thing is true Of the four
legged animals, but there is a great
deal of difference between the sneed
animals and the slow motioned,
Eeavy-bodied animals that are built
for strength rather than swiftness.
Speed depends Oh the power of the
thrust of the hind legs and their
rapidity of motion. These factors
are governed by the length of the
foot and the thigh. The speed of
an animal is directly in proportion
to the ratio between the length OF
the middle toe and the length of

Hound and Rabbit

Out in Kansas crazy jack rabbit

There is another mammal that is
so fast no one has ever been able t,

porpoise. The po1poise can do stunts
in front of the fastest boat that
travels the bounding wave and when
he is through after several hours OF
clowning he f1irts his tail and nom
ehalantly speeds beyond the horizon.
The porpoise will do his tricks under
the bow of nine-knot cargo tramp
CT a twenty-two-knot ocean grey
hound. He is like the antelope IN
that he sets his pace according to
the speed of the pursuer.

bones of the lower leg are long, thus
adding to the contractive potential
lty Of the calf muscles by giving
them additional length. The muscles
are attached to the bones at an
angle instead of a parallel to the
axis. And the foot is long, giving
powerful leverage in the action of
spurning the ground.
Big Feet and Speed
With the two varieties Of weight
carrier and speed animal the run
ming motion is entirely different.
With the elephant three feet are
never off the ground at the same
time, while with the horse three
feet are off the ground at once in
seven out of nine phases of the
stride. The elephant has three feet
on the ground during five-sixths of
the stride, and during the remain
ing sixth the body is supported by
one fore foot and the opposite hind
foot. The running horse never has
three feet on the ground together
during the stride. The result of
this difference in the method of max
ing the stride is that the horse leaps,
while the elephant runs with a roll
ing motion.
CRATES can produce about the
same speed as the elephant, but they
have peculiar gait all their own.
They trot with the fore legs and run
with the hind legs. In action they
are all spraddled out and look like
a balloon bounding from hillock to
hillock. With the giraffe the fore
legs serve only as crutches, all the
work being done by the hind legs.
The camel is combination weight
carrier and speed artist. The load
ed bearer camel moves deliberately
at about two and half miles an
hour, but racing dromedary can
make 100 miles day, and in doing
it he rolls from side to side as we'll
as fore and aft like a small boat
quartering stormy sea.
Two of the fastest of the smaller
animals are the greyhound and the
jack rabbit. The greyhound can do
at the rate of thirty-two miles an
hour, while his cousin, the Russian

wolfhound, can beat him by five
miles and has much greater powers
of endurance. The greyhound, like
the horse, digs in with his fore feet
and uses his front legs for pulling
as well as pushing with his hind
legs. The jack rabbits front legs
are only crutches, but, like the ante
lope, he makes up for it by the
power of his hind legs.

miles an hour broke out of herd

whole herd could not be chased. One
of them had to be picked as the vic
tim, and, as it happened, they picked
the one there was no chance of
catching. The speedometer on the
car registered forty-five miles an
hour and the antelope started off at
rate at least fifteen miles an hour
faster. He kept that up for about
mile, and then, as he was gaining
so rapidly, came down to fifty miles
an hour, which he kept up for an
other ten miles, after which there
was a drop to thirty-hve miles, and
then to thirty miles. He went along
at thirty miles an hour for twenty
five miles, according to the cars
mileage recorder. By that time they
had got into such rough going that
the car had to give up the chase, and
the antelope escaped. He had trav-
eled forty five miles, no part of it
under thirty miles an hour.
The writer used to have little

accurately estimated.
