A WONDERFUL HAND.
An Artificial Substitute Nearly as Perfect
as the Natural Member.

An Artificial Substitute Nearly as Perfect
as the Natural Member.
Willard A. Lucas, the son Of great
wooden manufacturer at Poquetannuck,
Conn, wears an artificial hand made
of aluminium which is really one OF the
automatical wonders of the century.
Young Lucas lost his hand in his IA
theirs mills, and Lucas, Sr., who grieved
exceedingly over the results of the ac-
cident, wrote or went in person to every
known manufacturer of artificial limbs
in this country and Europe, vainly
seeking false hand for his son.. Arti-
icial hands could have been procured
from any of them, but what was want
ed was not to be found-viz, hand that
real flesh and blood member.
Finally the elder Lucas, who is
known as rare mechanical genius,
took it upon himself to make his son a
hand-not a 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 of artificial limbs in the world.
The automaton is of aluminium and
much resembles 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 it pos
sible for the young man to perform ev-
cry kind of labor. An expert report on
this wonderful piece of mechanism reads
as follows:
With it he can grasp and handily
use all kinds of tools, pick up things
from the ground, drive, handle gun
in fact, use it quickly and skillfully at
any kind of work. Like natural hand,
the artificial one consists of palm that
is provided with fastening by which
it is attached to a cork stump, the
joints working by a ratchet, so that the
fingers may be bent forward at any
angle and held there. The hand may
be only partly closed or tightly shut,
and only one finger or all, as the wear
er desires, may be closed at once and
instantly by striking them against the
body or other object. To release the
grasp it is only necessary to touch a
spring at the back of the hand. The
invention is as nearly perfect substi-
tute for a natural hand as could be de-
vised and is the only thing of the kind
known in the world. st. Louis Re-
public.

Mother Of God, what is thy thought tonight

MOIST with the dews OF unguessed agony7
Hast thou the prophets ecstasy of sight.

Art thou rejoicing in the Joy to bep

And all the happy days in Nazareth,
Break on thee through the binding mist of

Mr.. Charles Broadway Rouss
and the Confederate Achfves.
[special to nc baltimore Sum

RICHMOND, VA, Nov. 22.-Mr.
Norman B. Randolph returned yes
terday from New York, where he had
a conference with Mr.. Charles Bread
way Rouss touching the latter's
proposition to establish an institu-
ton for the preservation of Confed-
crate war archives. Mr.. Randolph,
it will be remembered, was one of
the committee of Lee Camp to whom
was referred the circular letter of
Mr.. Rouss outlining in q general
way his plan. Mr.. Randolph says
Mr.. Rouss is thoroughly enthusiastic
over the theme. He is sending out
circular letters in every direction re-
garding it, and means business. He
will stop at no labor that will con-
tribute to its consummation, and will
give literally to the object out of
his own means.
Mr.. Rouss's idea is that all the
camps and other Confederate asso-
Citations should unite in the prosecu-
ton of the work to the end of having
one grand institution for the preser-
walton of the Confederate archives,
and that all the existing collections,
such as that of the Confederate Me-
mortal and Literary Society here,
and that of tile Memorial Hall in
New Orleans should be merged under
one roof. The location of the insti-
tuition he is willing to leave TO tile
decision of the ten ranking Confed-
crate generals that may be living at
Nthe time the plan is perfected.
Mr.. Randolph says he never saw a
man more in earnest in regard to a
matter than is Mr.. Rouss in regard
TO this one. Outside of his business
he thinks of nothing else. Mr.. Ran
dolph will make full report of his
conference with SIr. Rouss to Lee
Camp at its meeting tomorrow night.
Mr.. Rouss is exceedingly anxious
lot the Endorsement of the camps.
Eis idea is not mere passing one.
1t mas become part of his existence,
and he has already devoted 10 it a
vast amount of time and labor.
