A Wonderful Artificial Hand.

Willard A. Lucas, the son of a great
WOODEN manufacturer at Poquetan-
muck. Conn. wears an artificial hand
made of aluminium, which is really one
of tbe automatical wonders Of the cen
turv. Young Lucas lost his hand IN
his fathers mills, and Lucas. Sr., who
grieved exceedingly over the results
of the accident. wrote or went in per
son TO every known manufacturer OF
artificial limbs in this country and
Europe, yainly seeking false
hand for his son. Artificial hands
could have been procured from any
of them. but what was wanted was not
to be found. viz, o hand that would
perform all the functions of reai
flesh and blood member. Finally the
elder Lucas. who is known as rare
mechanical genius, took it upon him.
self TO make his son hand-not
mere dummy" but one that would
be useful for the manifold purposes to
which such members are put. The
result is a surprise TO every maker oil
artificial limbs in the world. The au-
+omoton X of aluminium and much re-
sembles the steel gauntlets worn by
the knights of the Middle Ages. The
fingers are all perfect and lifelike, the
Joints in each bending As readily as
those in a natural hand, making II
possible for the young nan topertorm
every kind Of labor. An expert report
on this wonderful piece OK mechanism
reads as follows: "With 1t ne can
grasp and handily use all kinds Of tools

and skillfully at any kind OF work.
Like n natural hand. the artliicial enc
consists Of n palm that is provided
with a fastening bywhichit is attached
to a cork stump the joints working
bv n ratchet so that the fingers may
be bent forward at an angle and held
there. The hand may be only partly
closed or tightly shut, and only one
finger or all, asthe wearer desires may
he closed at once and instantly by
striking them against the body or
other object. To release the grasp 1t
is only necessary to touch a spring at
tbe back of the hand. The invention
is as nearly perfect substitute for Il
natural hand as could be devised, and
is the only thing of the kind known IN
tbe world. st. Louis Republic

In the Algerian theatcr there sxN
several novelties Most uf the women
are in attire that might be taken for
gaudy house gowns In these the
girls dance on swords and engage in
perhaps more realistic pas du vsntrs
than do those in Cairo. There the
dance may he characterized as almost
brutality immodest only relieved by
the fact that the clothing IS even moro
plentiful than in the Turkish 0deon.
1t is held by Syrians of intelligence
here that these dances are simply .
custom of the Orient, folk dance, SO
to speak. Yet that it has its origin in
the MohammedGn estimate of the in
feriority of women there is little
doubt. The object in life of eastern
women is to afford pleasure to their
master, man. Therefore, they minis
ter to his several appetites The
Worlds Fair is great teacher.
It's pretty sudden wrench to jump
from the peculiarities of the oriental
dancer born to the beauties OF the
japanese display. But there could be
no more decided Exposition in the
world. The exhibit, like all else that
the Japs have done at the Fair, is now
complete. 1t defes descriptions; it has
an indescribable tranquility about it
that is enchanting; it is supremely
artistic. The most striking piece in
the collection is a tapestry filling the
side of one room. t is species of,
or rather suggest We of, Gobelin in
silk, and is worth $50 900. It's theme
is festival procession leaving a
temple, and there are more than 1000
figures in the work, some of which are
correct enough to be portraits. In de-
tail it is superb as to garments,
foliage, BIRDS, sky and so on. This
piece of work was four years In loom.

The Midway Plaisance captures ev-

ors are getting to be little cautious
how they tell what particular theater
they visited, just as the American in

know; and it isn't necessary to go into
any particulars at home" So the

and everybody usually has good times.
for the brilliant panoramic effects OF
the region are kept up to higher de
gree of attractiveness than ever be-
fore. There has been good deal oil
talk on the part of some who are over
sensitive or overnice to the effect that
the Algerian theater should be abol-
ished. and that the theater in Cairo
street should be regulated a little
more strictly on the lines Of morality;
but, on the whole, there cannot be
said to be anything very Objectionable
there. The poetry OF motion in the
Plaisance is largely muscular pOesy,
and will give the casual beh lder a
