natural swaying motion. It is n.ifur;:! onough; but the evolutionists contend that tho nature of it dates bock to thoee unknown days when man was a quadruped of Darwinian theory. Of course, wken man was a fotir-foolod animal he v.jill'cd with Iris "arms" as \ ell as his legs, and even to-day, after the thousands upon thousands of generations that have passed since hr> assumed an upright position, every t ; mo he takes a step his arm moves a trifle, involuntarily, as though desirous of taking a step in its turn, just as it did when man. then four4ooted, pranced up and down tho earth.
