AN ARTIFICIAL HAND.

The Ingenious Device of Massachusetts
Wool Manufacturer.
Some months ago Willard A. Lucas,
son of Samuel Lucas. the wool manufac-
turer of P5quetannuck, had his right
hand severed in his father's m i'll, and
since, Mr. Lucas, ST., who has inv entiye
genius. has used every effort to replace
the missing member with as useful Il sub
stitute as possible.
After visiting or writing to the most
prominent makers of artificial limbs in
America, he learned that it was in vain to
search, either in this country or Europe,
for an artificial hand that could be used
10 doing work. Thereupon Mr.. Lucas de.
termined to make Il hand himself; but
he toiled persistently day and night for
months before he was successful
He has produced an aluminium hand
which is very much like an old time steel
gauntlet, and that is almost as handy as
a natural hand. The fingers are all per-
feet IN shape and appearance, and the
joints bend like those OF the human
Iiugers 1t is smaller than the natural
baud, but with 1t man can do about
every kind of work.
