ARTIFICIAL, ARM

Among the communications received from our
Paris correspondent by the Cambria, we find an in
teresting account of the proceedings of the French
Academy, in which is given the following account
of the introduction of Artificial Arms, which would
almost seem to supercede the necessity of the nat
ura limb or at all events to render the loss of one
a matter OF comparatively small Importance;
Translated for the Newark Daily Advertiser from the Paris
Journal de Varieties" of Feb pod.
M. Magende read on Monday last, in the name of
a committee of the Academy, con posed of Messrs.
Gambey, Velpeau, Rayer, and Magendie, report
upon an Artificial Arm presented by NJ. Van Peter
son. dutch sculptor. 1t is not one of the least
prodigies of human industry to be able in some
sort to reconstruct the work of the Creator by re-
pairing destroyed organs and even replacing them
entirely, by means Of mechanical apparatus.
The new invention which M. Magendie has made
known TO the Academy and the object of which
is to replace the entire arm, and even both of them,
is certainly one Of the boldest Of It's kind and the
services which it promises to render large num-
Der Of mutllated unlortunates, accounts for the in
terest with which the committee are examining it.
To replace the arm and hand in all the extent, va
rety, rapdity, and precision, which nature has CIV
en- to the motion of this member, is, doubtless, a
thing impossible; and the inventor possesses no
such lofty pretensons lie proposes only TO give
to persons deprived of their arms the power of per
forming for themselves actions the most simple and
necessary TO existence. The committee of the
Academy have seen the invention of NJ. Van Pc
torson upon five mutilated individuals, and among
others upon an invalid, who has been deprived Of
both arms ever since the wars of the empire, and
who, by the aid Of two artificial arms took with his
hand full glass, carried it to his mouth, drank
from It without splitting drop, and then replaced
the glass upon the table from which he had taken
1t. This same disabled man can pick up pin,
take hold of sheet of paper, sc.
The Artificial Arm of M. Van Peterson is not
adapted indiierently to all who have lost an arm;
those only who have preserved untouched the supe-
rior part of the humerus, are fitted to profit by it,
and it can render no service to those who have no
stump, and have submitted to an amputation Of the

equal to about ponnd of the standard weight of

lowing is the continuance, by aid Of which M. Van
peterson has succeeded in making the different
parts play upon one another

corset are attached cat-gut strings some of which
are hXed to the forearm, others TO the fingers
When the manned man carries the stump forward
he exerts attraction upon the fore arm. and bends
it on the arm. When on the contrary he moves Il
backward, the forearm stretches out ilpon the arm
It is by this double movement that the hand is car
ried to or removed from the mouth. The move
ments OF the fingers are produced by analogous
mechanism; and the committee have been struck
with the celebrity and precision to which mutilated
persons have arrived in executing them.
Inc idea OF employing corset, as a support ne
ccsSary to overcome the resistance of mechanical
myers shut up by springs, is not new. Quite re-
Gently Crate had indicated the part, which might
be drawn upon for the construction Of a mechani-
cal arm; but no one until now has been able TO
execute this project, at leastwith the success which
NJ Van Peterson has obtained The committee
thlnk that the invention of the latter is preferable
to any that has been previously conceived with the
same design. They hope that the author will be
able to improve it still further and especially to
reduce its price, to render it accessible to the
amputated poor and to mutiated soldiers.

POETRY.
From the Church of England Magazine.
THE DYING BOY.

Come nearer, mother raise tho curtain high,
And let us look upon the sp0ngled sky;
Leave still thy hand In mine. Put back the halt
That cltngs around my brow say, wilt thou wear
One OF these tangled outls when I am dead
Nor tears too bitter DER the relic shed
My Saviour calls me 10 "A heavenly home,
And angels gently whisper, " come !"
While from their golden horps the echo rings,
hear the rushing Of their shadowy wings.
Listen, my mother, though thy voice be sweet
Unto mine ear, the gladstone strains that greet
Thy slum1crng boy have tones Of deeper love,
Murm'ring about my couch, around, above,
Like music in the air When In the sea
The rod sun nightly sets, il seems to me
That angels must be there, and track their WY
From the bright chunibors Of eternal day.
Thou'lt think of me when thou dost look high,
In those best mansions, far beyond the sky;
Thou'lt think of me, know when earth seems fair,
And summers blossoms scent the sunny air;
., then remember that my lot will be
Where flowers unfiding bloom that | shall $40
Thousands of dazzling creatures that below
Have walked in righteousness, and that 90
Where, In the gst'ning robes around tho throne,
A halo bright reveals the Holy Ono
Mother thy face is from me, but feel
The fast warm tears that DER my weak baud steal
And thou dOst tremblc If ! ceHselers inl
Thy fond love, ever wntchiul, ever kind
If thy untirng change conld see,
Think what Gud's changeless love for must be
Though slumber DER thy anxious heart may crsop,
There's One whose eye Of love will never SLEEP.
Dark shadows DER my eyelids steal along,
Say dost thou hear the angels swelling songi
If thou coullst listen 10 thoir joyful hymn
But, mother dearest, e'en thy form seems dim
Thou wilt not leave me, though the night is como
Would thou couldst lead me TO my radiant home!
Come nearer yet, and still my cold hand keep,
And o, sweet mother, now fain would sleep.

TO Get Rid of Dead Logs in FIeld-Mr VIII
lians, of Florida, writes us With the Eagle plow
| am making trenches by running it two or three
times back and forward along side of the logs in
my fields, and then roll them in and turn upon them
the dirt thrown out by the pillow. In this way the
log is not only got rid OF, but the labor of cutting,
lifting, piling, and burning is saved. When de-
composed it furnishes rich bed of vegetable mat
ter to the land. You would be surprised at the ra-
pidity with which log is consigned to it's narrow
house. Protecting the land from washing is an
other great advantage of this process of log bury

Iron HouSes.-The late frightful earthquakes in
the West Indies, in which the brick and stone
buildings Of whole towns have been levelled with
the ground, and the wooden ones consumed by the
fires which usually burst out after the overthrow
Of the other buildings, have drawn the attention of
many persons to the advantage of houses construc-
ted of Iron, which have been found to stand the
shocks of the severest earthquakes uninjured.--
Some of these iron dwellings have been, in conse-
quence, ordered from Mr. Laycock for different
parts of the world. He has now finished a very
neat iron cottage which he has Just built for two
maiden ladies residing in the Island of st. Lucia
1t consists of three rooms each, nine feet high
viz. one room 20 feet by II feet, and two rooms
II feet by 10 feet There are six large jealousy
windows and two small ones over the front and
back doors these and the floor are the only parts
made of wood. There is an inside ceiling of iron
in panels, and the roof is in a wrought iron frame,
covered with galvanized plates of iron. The walls
are formed of double plates of iron, with thin
stratum of air between them, an arrangement which
will prevent the passing of the solar heat into the
int .or of the building, at least through the walls,
anu keep the interior of the building, delightfully."-
cool. The weight of the building is IA tons, the
cost rather more than two hundred pounds -Liver-
