His Muscles Obey Him.

Medical circles in Vienna are teine
edited by some remarkable examples
of muscular action which man aged
about 80 years is showing. His power
over his muscles is SO great that, he can
perform feats that would usually be
deemed incredible. He can contract
his abdominal muscles SO as to show an
undulating movement massing upward
and downward; his larynx goes up ano
down without the aid Of the tongue;
and he can even cause his pupils either
to contract or dilate thus showing the
influence of will over so-called invol-
untary actions.
BY contracting the diaphragm he is
able to displace his heart by four
inches. One Of his marvellous feats'
narrated by Lancet correspondent, is
the "transposition of the intestines
into the space occupied usually by the
lungs.-Exchange
