The Giuey India-Rubber Man.

The strangest phenomenon we have seen
for long time is now on view In Vienna.
Der Gummimensch," or the india-rubber
man, is quite the queerest fellow imaginable.
He is pale, faccid man, with red hair and a
bilious complexion he wears black velvet
knickerbockers and is very polite. He can
seize the skin of his chest with both hands,
pull it away from his body about eighteen
inches, and raise it to the level OF his head;
and yet when he lets go, instead Of this
skin hanging in horrd folds, it goes spread
ing itself gain. so that not crease is TO be
discovered. The skin of his nose he can
stretch six inches, the skin Of his fingers two
inches, so that his hands look sizes No. 20 or
30. He drags nj the calf Of his leg. and be-
hold goodly and transparent membrane, In
which can be the ramified network Of
arteries, pink and pulsating. This does not
hurt him. lie can--but enough. You see
that he well deserves his title Of '.Gummi-
mensch." What with his cad.verous face and
gluey elasticity, he much reminds one of
Dore's CHASTITY portrayal of the damned in the
grand illustrations of the ''Inferno.''
The medical faculty are highly exercised
anent this man, and they have begged him
for the smallest strip Of skin, just for a
microscopical investigation. There has not
been such a case for two centuries, and in
those days. Of course, the microscope was
rather primitive. ''Gummimensch' il a
Bavarian, thirty two years Of age, married,
and has three normal children. He charges
two forms to show himself; his akin feels
like velvet,or. perhaps, rather like the breast
of plucked fowl, but it is not sweet
sensation TO touch him Vienna Co,Yespon-
