known the like Here are two perfect human
beings united by ligature at the breast but in
all their actions they seem to be impelled by one
idea, so much so that it has been gravcly quer-
ried if one soul may not animate both bodies.
Chang and Eng were born in Siam of Chi

their age. They came to the United States in
1899, and since have travelled over Europe and
America on exhibition and have succeeded in

Chang and Eng, accompanied by two of their
children, will be seen at the building next door
