THE FINGERS BECAME STIFF.
!. How did it first become known?n

"By the mcrest accident. A physician
of New York attempted 10 operate on tho
tendons Of musician whose third and
fourth fingers had become still and unre-
sponsive through an injury TO the hand.
At first he inserted the instrument at the
back of the hand. little forward of the
wrist. by and by he struck the tendon.
and there was slight improvement. Then
Professor l.. S. Bonnelli. who is bit of a
surgeon himself, got interested. The ex-
pertinent gave him an idea, and when he
went to San Francisco he operated upon
the hands of about fifty negroes, paying
them tor the privilege, of course. He was
unsuccessful until. one day, he got out of
patience witlfthe man who had closed his
hand. Bonnelli then for the first time OBJ
served the tendon connecting the knuckles,
and he cut it at once. He had discovered
the secret which professors had been
searching for during ten years or more.
The effect OF the operation is to give the
ring-fnger the same strength and indie
pendence of action the others possess
One little girl in New York, who lately
had the tendon severed, showed the other
day that with the liberated finger she can
nowpull as much as Editor Hoerscheim, of
the Musical Courier, can with his finger.
This was done as test. II gives the whole
hand wide reach, too, and is Just what
was needed to make the 6igits all equally
seFviceable on the keys. Every play er de-
clares that the cutting is q benefit. ones
own physician can DO it. There IL no
danger whatever and it is painless after
the slight momentary twinge.

depth. The trap contains an lncanae sSi
battery located in the trap, this also being
protected by means of air appliances, from
the pressure of the water. which at that i
depth is estimated at about seven hundred
ponnds to the square inch. The practical
use of lamp under water having been
successfully demonstrated, its application
TO saltwater or river fishing is easy. and
TO those who feel inclined to make big
catches of fish while in camp the following
hints should prove amply sufficient,

scheme and with success. .
The first thing 10 be obtained is one OF
the Edison incandescent electIric7;lamps OF
three-candle power. THIS can be bought OF
anv electrical goods dealer for 81, Oh, the
lamp and the materials for making cheap

four zinc rods, four wooden tops. and elgnt
feet of wire, sufficient to make the four
cells necessary for the lamp, can be OBJ

FLORENCE'S BOSS LIE
Was an AtrociOus, Unprovoked, Bald.
Headed, but Probable, Tale
PERPETRAfED AT MINNEAPOLIS.
Origin Of the Account of Prof. Edselle'S
Famous Human Rocket.
INVENTED BY SIR LUCIUs O'TRIGGER

The eyes of Sir Lucius O'Trigger
twinkled and his face broadened into
smile. 1t required some insistance to get

traps, but I finally succeeded.
THE HUMAN ROCKET HOAX.
"Since Sothern's DEATH" said Florence
with sigh, II have reformed my ways in
