MECHANICAL LEGS.
Artificial Limbs So Natural Nowadays That
They Defy Close Scrutiny.

The degree of progress shown by the
artificial limbs now constructed is aston
ishing. Time was when the man who
lost leg carried the advertisement of his
calamity continually about with him in
the shape of a crutch or staff orpeg. Now
that is all done away, and the cripple
moves, undiscovered, among his fellows.
Many walk the streets with two artih-
cial legs. and the lack of their natural in
struments Of motion is not detected By the
ordinary observer, while those who have
but one artificial leg often defy close scru-
tiny. To accomplish such results the
manned must purchase the most approved
devices and must devote some care to the
cultivation of the "knack'' of swinging
the cantrivance, but these pains in the
end are a triumph, though caution must
be used not TO put the best leg foremost
too prominently.
\ universal motion at the ankle Joint
has been introduced, with good results
for the peculiar comprehcnsiyeness of the
natural movement Of the ankle has always
offered tremendous difficulties to the
maker. For long time one joint was
used at the ankle, but second is now
used, and the result is most satisfactory
By the use of springs and cords at the
knee also it is possible for the wearer of
an artificial leg to sit without the annoy
ance of a protruding leg, which has always
been cause of difficulty
The mechanical skill shown in the man
ufacture OF hands and arms is no less in
ecnious, for they are so well constructed
as to be for use as well as for ornament.
one maker seems to regard the latter rs
the primary attraction, however, for he
says, 80 make them so that the hand can
be detached and hook, ring or any in
struhent suitable to the wearer's business
can be attached and the hand can be kept
neat and clean for dress purposes"
Ire arms now made can be moved for
ward OF back, while the fingers of the
hand are made so that they can be opened
or smut. by such adjustments the wearer
Is enabled To perform many feats which
one would suppose to be impossible for the
manned. BY one movement of the arm
the fingers are made to open, while by an
other they arc made to close. in which DO
sition they are retained firmly by spring,
giving . firm clasp.
A VloliniSt who lost his right arm was
htted so skillfully that he was enabled to
play again with something of his former
ability, and one man, we'll known in New
YORK, has two artificial legs, yet he at
tends balls, and is by no means a wall.
Hover, though he shuns the round
dances. There are machine legged cripples
who skate on roller skates and there ara
men with artificial arms and hands who
play good game of billiards. New York
