It is with this new moving platform that Professor Langlois, working in collaboration with MM. Chailley- Bert and Faillie, has explained the phenomenon known among runners and athletes as "second ; This phenomenon, which consists in the dis- appearance of brcathlessness some time after a rapid start, gave place to various interpretations by physiologists. In the opinion of Lagrange the disappearance of a runner's uneasiness in breathing was due to a better utihsation of his lungs ; whilst others decided that it was owing to a modification of the sensibility of the bulbar centres. Experiments with the moving platform at the Faculty of Medicine have now proved that" second wind " is connected with a real and momentary diminution of the expenditure of energy, although the amount of work done is not diminished. It is due to a better adaptation of the locomotor apparatus of the human machine. Maps: Their History, Characteristics and Uses. By Sir Herbert George Fordham. (Cambridge University Press, 7s. 6d.)
