When the child was born there was not the

are perfectly developed, the arms long, and
the shoulders, where the head and neck
should be, smoothly rounded of. But the
most surprising thing of all is that the face
is situated on the breast. OF course. there
being no neck, the power of turning the
head Ii wanting, except as the whole body
is moved but this difficulty is overcome
by the singular faculty it possesses of turn.
