58 = The Mining an Sriewtitic Presa.
Tac Tzyactry or Lire iw Eeis.—It
is well known that eels, after being beheaded and skinned, and having their entrails
taken ont, will ofteu wriggle and move cunsiderably. What is the philosophy of this ; are
they alive, or is-it the imvoluntary action of
the nerves and muscles ?
The lower orders of animals, such as the
snake, the eel, and the turtle, have but little
braiu, and their sensations, and the governing
forces of their bodies, are distributed in ganglia
or nervous knots, over a considerable extent
of the system ; while in man the motive force
is located in the brain, When a man has his
head severed or disconuected from the body,
his dying struggles are comparatively short.
It is said that a turtle will live a day or two
with the head off.
