Invented the Artificial Leg.

In q quaint old house at 6O9 Mar
hall street, Philadelphia, lives Frank
D. Deschamps, who, although over
seventy years old, has been inventfn8
things all his life. Mr.. Deschamps is
rs active as boy of twenty, lives all
alone amid his models and contriv-
lnces, cooks his own meals, acts as his
own housekeeper, and is as happy as
the day is long. Mr.. Deschamps's first
invention of note was the artificial
leg. 1t was over fifty years ago when
Mr.. Deschamps, then an apprentice,
was asked by his master to see what
he could do for foppish Frenchman
who had lost leg. At that time only
wooden legs were known, and the
Frenchman was dissatisfied with this
by no means elegant substitute. In
two days young Deschamps had fin
ished complete model of an artificial
leg, with every movement of the ma
tural limb duplicated. His master
had it patented, and it yielded him a
fortune. II got fifty cents out of it, I"
laughingly remarked Deschamps.
''The Frenchman gave me that and
told me to go over to Smiths Island
and enjoy myself. And thought I
was in great luck. New York Ad.

TOO FAT TO WORK.
And He Is Nov Being Shaved of ISu
Pounds.

Who has not heard of the proverbia.
fat, jolly man? The expression has be-
come SO hackneyed that it almost seems
as though no man had n right to feel
jolly unless he was fat. Well, Thomas
Bower, of New York. is fat He weighs
$50 pounds and he isn't jolly. On the
contrary he has worried so much that
he may never be jolly again.
Thomas was waiter in n hotel. II,
was Il first-class advertisement for the
dining-room, to be sure; but unfortun-
ately space is valuable in New York
and poor Thomas grew so fat that he
could only with difficulty move be-
tween tables, and he had to CO. He ap-
piled elsewhere for work. but his ap-
pearance was against him and he was
rejected. This made him worry, but as
lie had worried before his discharge
and through dread of it he only grew
the fatter now that physical exertion
was removed. Finally he entered
Believue Hospital and impIored the
physicians to relieve him by cutting him
in two. They are now engaged in re-
ducing him by $50 pounds. and the
probabilities are that he will be waiter
again. But he'll never be jolly. Worri.
ment lest he get fat again will prevent
him.

The rapidly enhancing value Of real
estate in large cities and the tendency
10 utilize to the fullest extent every foot
Of available space by erecting sky
scraping buildings has led a Boston
architect to make a very bold and strik-
ing prediction. He has put on paper a
design for what he terms 'the building
of the future" which for originality
probably exceeds anything ever con-
ceived in an architects mind. The
building he has drawn is circular in
shape, with breaks in its interior at in
tervals for light and air shafts. It is a
structure fifty stories high, and is de-
signed to accommodate 10000 people.
1t will not only provide living apart
ments for that number Of persons, but
will also contain the necessary stores,
