STRENGTH OF THE NEW BORN
Seem to Be Powerful, says
London Periodical.

The myth Of the infant Hercules,
who strangled two serpents In his
cradle, may not have been a myth at
all, but fact, says the London Tele-
graph. Modern science has proved
that II Ia quite a possible feat. The
newborn babe IL relatively much
stronger than a full-grown man, &C
cording to the result of medical tests:
The muscles of the forearm are sur
prisingly vigorous. A few hours after
birth a baby suspended by its finger
to a stick. or to the finger Of a per-
son, can hold itself In the air for ten
seconds, and, in the case Of particu-
larly strong infants, for as long as
half a minute. At four days old the
child's strength has increased. and
the time Is two and a half minutes
for SO per cent of babies. The maxi
mum is attained at a fortnight. Few
infants can hang on for more than
one and a half minutes, though one
exceptional young Hercules remained
suspended for two minutes and 38
seconds by his right hand. After that
he still hung on with his left for Is
seconds longer" II is not stated
whose babies were put through these
horizontal bar gymnastics 1T the early
age of from one hour to fortnight.
