At the French academic a very deli
cate operation Of prothesis was recent
~ performed. allowing just what could
be accomplished in replacing . portion
Of the skeleton by mean Of aseptio
artificial pieces. The surgeons have
proved that artificial pieces made Of
vulcsnite or metals that do not oxidise
can be buried In the tissues and left
there with impunity.
DR.. Michaels performed the opera
ton. The patient had had tuberculosis
of the humerus and shoulder joint,
complicated with suppuration and fls-
tulae. An operation was imperative.
hut the removal Of the diseased tissues
would have left such q hole that the
wound would never have healed. and
the functions OF the limb would have
been lost If an artificial joint had not
been ~interposed between the lower
fragment Of the humerus and the
scapula.
DR.. Michaels' apparatus to supply the
deficient zone is described In the Paris
edition of the New York Herald a. fol-
lows:
It is composed Of three parts: First. .
straight rod. eight centimeters long.

LANGUAGE OF N

rAsy knew Hsw - warn One Another q
Danger.
While hunting with rife for SPUR
rels in the heavy timber ! have at diff
ferent times, says . writer in Forest
and Stream, noticed that both birds and
mammals seem to have several ways OF
warning others, not only OF their own
kind but also Of different species, Of
tho presence Of . supposed common
enemy. In fast, the practice might be
called the warning system Of animated
nature.
Al an illustration. suppose the hun
ter to be going stealthily through the
woods or quietly seated upon . stump
OF fallen tree, and while there to Be
seen, IS he IL almost SURF to be, by
some Of the sharp-eyed little wood
folks. Now suppose tho little thing
hss before been giving out some notes
or sounds peculiar to its species All
ut once those sounds will be changed
to others having a different cadence
from those 1t first given, or rs the
hunter has discovered the sounds may
quickly cease, or eve il the little
thing was quiet before some sharp note
Of danger will often take the place OF
its stiffness, and other mammals and
birds in the immediate vicinity will
understand the warning and take up
the signals, until nearly every animate
thing for quite . distance around will
be apprised Of the danger. Then for
awhile they will act with the utmost
discretion until confidence IS restored,
when the wood life will its
normal ways until some movement OF
the hunter again produces the same
phenomenon. How far beyond the
commencing point these danger signals
are kept up or extended may be
unable to discover, but l should judge
from what I have observed that they
extend in all directions beyond gun
shot distance.
Should anyone, either with or with
out . gun, while In the woods where
wild life Is plenty, take note OF this
system Of cautionary cries. he would
find it very interesting and instructive
Among the causes &h1t lead to the de
lection by animals OF . person when
still hunting there il one that he sell
dom or ever thinks about, which IN the
effect his shadow has upon them. espe-
cially when the sun Is low. No matter
how steathily one may be going along
or how carefully he may be concealed
behind . tree, or wen be seated, his
lonr tell-tsle shadow when lightly
moving may be . greater cause OF the
non-appearsnce Of game than he Is
aware OF.
SIN another cause, which. OF course,
cannot be obviated much. is the ap-
pearsuee OF the face and hands In con-

with surrounding objects That often
attracts the attention OF animals, but
more especially Is their attention at
