row LEGS ARE MADE.

Since the war, which necessarily Gre
ated an enlarged demand for artificial
limbs, there has been vast improvement
in their manufacture. Legs are made
so admirably now that one can walk
with artificial limbs so well as to exhibit
very little difficulty in the gait. Willow
or Eastwood is the material used. The
lumber is most carefully selected, and
cut into blocks eight inches square and
four feet long. Holes are drilled through
these blocks lengthwise with an anger,
and they are allowed TO season for three
years. Then they are ready for use.
The block is carved and sandpapered
into shape as exactly like real leg as
possible. Next it is followed out 20 tho
desired thickness, after which it il COW

waterproof by coating Of peculiar
varnish. The lower part 81 the limb is
connected with the upper by an ingeni-
Gus knee joint, and the whole interior Of
the leg is filed with mechanism in
which a spiral spring plays an important
part.
A veteran is entitled by Law 70 one
