This picture gives us an idea of the use or stilts and the many wonderful feats which can be performed on them when worn by one who is skilled in handling them. In the first picture we see a lot of men with them attached walking around, tapping maple trees and extracting the sap. Then we see them walking through the woods and easily stepping over fences and wading through a deep pond which otherwise could not be accomplished without wetting their feet. Next we see them climbing up a high embankment and racing through the forest at a great rate. Finally we are treated to a novelty in the form of a football game, in which all the contestants wear stilts, and it is extremely droll to see them trying to keep their equilibrium and at the same time kick at the hall with the ends of the stilts.

Original French title is undetermined.

Released in the US as a split reel along with Un casque préhistorique (1908) and Voleurs nouveau siècle (1908).
