Londen Strand There are many people who, without | walking, are constantly moving some | portion of their. bodies, and these mov ing portions cover, in the aggregate, an amount of space which is absolute ly astounding. Take the case of man who scarcely moves at all-a tailor. Seated Turkish fashion, he) plies his needle from morning to night | lin order to have an overcoat or a pair | of trousers ready for an important | customer at the appointed time. His needle flies to and fro at the rate of about once a second. If we reckon a space of twenty inches as that covered by the course of the needle, what should you imagine this distance amounts to in a yenr? This figure is, to say the least of it, surprising about twelve miles a day's work of ten hours, or nearly 4,000 miles for n year of 300 working days. In a little over six years the tailor's needle, and consequently his hand, will have cov ered a distance equal to the eircumber ence of the globe.
