MECHANISM or TIE HUMAN FooT.-
There is nothing more beautiful than the
structure Of the human foot, nor perhaps
any demonstration which would lead u
well educated person to desire more OF
anatomy than that Of the foot. The foo:
ha. in it's structure, ALI the fine appliances
that you see in u building. In the first
place, there is an arch in whatever way
you regard the foot; looking down upon
It, We perceive several bones coming
round from the as.ragslos, and forming
sn entire circle Of surfaces In the con-
tact. II we look at the profile Of the
foot, an arch is Still manifest, Of which
the pos,erior part is formed by the heel,
and the anterior by the ball Of the great
toe; and in front we find in that direction
q transverse arch: so that instead Of
standing, IS might be imagined, upon
solid bonc, we Stand upon an arch, com


posed Of series Of bones, which are
united by the most curious provisions for
the elasticity Of the foot; hence. when we
jump from height directly upon the heel .
q severe shock is felt; not 50 If we a.
light OF the ball Of the toe, for there an
elasticity il found in the whole foot, and
the weigh. Of the body is thrown upon
this arch, and the Shock avolded.-Sir e.
