AN ESSAY ON CORNS.
IT CONTAINS THE EXPERIENCE OF AN
INQUIRING SUFFERER.
The Reply a Chiropodist Started an In
vestigation Those Who Walk Suffer
Most From Corns—How Sidewalks Exer
cise an Important Influence.
"What makes corns?"
"If people would not walk, they would
.hot have corns,” replied the chiropodist
emphatically.
The reply was satisfactory as far as it
went, but it didn’t go far enough, and
■therefore the sufferer, not being able to
rid himself of the pain by riding al
ways, walked and pondered.
He began to notice, when he walked
in one direction on one side of a street,
that one foot was affected and when
he walked in the opposite direction that
the other foot was affected. The distress
was in the foot that was toward the curb.
He could not walk ahead awhile and
then walk backward to relieve the pain,
because he thought that he might be
looked upon as a crank and that such
behavior in a public street would be ab
surd anyway. Then he examined his
shoes and observed that the most of the
wear was on the outer edges of the soles
and heels and that the upper leather
bad begun to bulge slightly over the
worn parts of the soles. When he put
bis shoes on again, he observed that the
leather where it bulged pressed on the
painful area of each little toe.
With the results of the observations
in mind, the sufferer proceeded, step by
step, somewhat painfully at times, to
ascertain the cause of the effect on his
shoes. He would not acknowledge that
he might be bowlegged and unable to
wear evenly the soles of his shoes, and
nobody who met him could observe any
unusual deflection from the ordinary
lines of legs. He trod carefully, and,
without making himself conspicuous
tried to walk on a level, so that the
pressure would be equal on the whole
surface of each sole. His toeing was
moderate—neither too much outward
nor too much inward—and at times he
succeeded in walking as his mind di
rected, but usually the distress that he
winced from indicated that something
was wrong somewhere. The foot on the
curb side of the walk was generally dis
tressed more than the other. The fit of
his shoes was fair, and for awhile the
suffering investigator could not deter
mine the reasons for the tendency to
bulge on the sides. He defled anyone to
prove that the bottled waters that he
drank could have an effect on his sys
tem that would tend to make him edge
toward the gutter. Such an idea ought
not to be thought of.
Going somewhat deeper into the sub
ject, beneath the shoes and the painful
areas, the investigator gave some atten
tion to the surfaces on which he walked,
and stowed away in his memory the
characteristics at localities in which ha
believed he had experiences that were
painful, more painful, and most pain
ful, or almost painless. He noticed, for
instance, when he walked across an as
phalt pavement from one sidewalk to
another in certain localities, that his
tread was even and that he had little
pain. The experience suggested that he
could generally have relief by walking
on asphalt pavement, but he remember
ed the arrest of an eccentric pedestrian
who insisted on having the privilege of
walking in the middle of the street and
decided that he would not risk himself
in that direction, notwithstanding the
relief that might be obtained. He no
ticed also that the distress was less in
some localities than in others and that
all sidewalks were not alike. He tried to
confine his walks to the localities in
which he felt the least distress, but he
had to go such a roundabout way to ar
rive at any particular place, especially
his place of business, that the plan had
to be abandoned. Besides, he never trod
a perfect route—a route that throughout
its length had a surface that could be
paced without pain. At one point or an
other the patient investigator felt
twinges that were almost unbearable.
Lining up the subject on the best
route he could find, he devoted his at
tention to the spot or block where he
had the most severe twinges. That sent
him to the sidewalk, describing the ac
tion figuratively. He did not drop on
his knees, although he had the impulse
to do that and to howl also, but he
stopped at the curb and thought awhile.
He inferred that his sufferings were
greater in that particular block because
some peculiarity or influence presented
itself there. At first the tentacles es
thought grasped nothing definitely, but
as the pain departed from the affected
foot, the powers of vision took hold and
the result was a revelation.
As in many great discoveries and rev
elations, the cause of the effect was very
simple—the sidewalk had been graded
from the house line to the curb for good
drainage, and as the incline was a few
degrees more there than in many places
it was natural that any one walking
there should tend slightly toward the
curb. The friction of the soles of the
shoes on the sidewalk being greater
than the friction of the feet on the in
ner soles of the shoes, the weight of the
body caused the feet to slide sidewise
in the shoes. The effects on the feet
were different, and the painful effect in
one foot and then the other depended
on the direction in which the sufferer
walked. When the right foot was
toward the curb, its small toe was
pressed against the leather and tortured,
while the left foot by maintaining a
level, the worn edge of the left shoe be
ing about equal to the degree of the in
cline, had very light pressure on either
•ide. Guided by the revelation, the suf
ferer trod carefully thereafter and kept
clear of slanting sidewalks as frequent
ly as possible, but in time he was com
pelled to acknowledge that the periods
of relief from pain were far apart, be
cause the rule is that sidewalks should

slant toward the gutter, and the rule is
followed generally, and he realized that
the chiropodist’s reply was accurate.—

FLOTATION OF SPIDERS.
An Knglish Writer Discusses the Subject
hod Cites Some Instances.
In an interesting communication to
Knowledge on "Spiders,” the Rev.
Samuel Barber discusses at some length
the phenomenon of the flotation line,
and its method of attachment, which is
the foundation of the spider’s web. Is
it not evident, asks the reverend gentle
man, that air—and probably at a high
temperature—must be inclosed within
the meshes of the substance forming the
line when it passes from the spinnerets
into the atmosphere? The creature with
this substance lifts it into the air. It
has been usual to explain the ascent by
the kite principle—namely, the me
chanical force of the contiguous atmos
phere—but air movements, especially on
a small scale, are so capricious and un
controllable that without a directive
force the phenomena seem quite inex
plicable.
In support of this theory of a direct
propelling force Mr. Barber gives some
of his own observations. Writing one
day with two sheets of quarto before
him, he saw a small spider on the pa
per, and in order to test its power of
passing through the air he held one of
the sheets of paper about a foot from
that on which the creature was run
ning. It ascended to the edge and van
ished, but in a moment it landed upon
the other sheet through midair in a hor
izontal direction, and picked up the
thread as it advanced. In this case there
was no air movement to facilitate, nor
any time to throw a line upward, which
indeed would not have solved the diffi
culty. On another occasion, at a dinner
party in Kent, four candles were lighted
on the table, when a thread was seen to
be strung from the tip of one of the
lighted candles and attached to another
about a yard off, and all the four lights
were connected in this way, and that
by a web drawn quite tight.
The only explanation which Mr. Bar
ber can suggest for this remarkable oc
currence "is that the spinner was bus
pended at first by a vertical line from
above and thus swayed itself to and fro
from tip to tip of the candles. It was
certain the spider could not have as
cended from the table, and it was equal
ly certain that aerial flotation of the
line from a fixed point was impossible,
as it involved floating in four opposite
directions. The rapidity with which the
initial movements informing a web are
made cannot be reconciled with any
theory of a simple atmospheric convec
tion, and propulsion appears the only
explanation.
