between 1t and the ordinary shoe is the,
presence of the groove and the absence
of nail holes. 4 ~
When the band is fitted TO the hoof
(which is done very readily, tine shoe
in turn is attached by slipping the
asnge into the groove. It now re.
mains to clasp the arrangement by two
screws in the rear. These may, be
turned to any degree OF tightness de-
sired, and q moderate degree is suf-
6cient to prevent the shoe from COM
ing off. The whole arrangement may
be put on or taken off in q moment.
AS the shoe is not nailed to the
hoof, there is perfect freedom for
expansion and contraction. This is q
very essential point, as all horsemen
know. The growth Of the hoofis not
prevented, and if there is any growth.
instead Of splitting the hoof, it serves
only to tighten; the shoe. All the
strain on the band as it is tightened
comes over the toe and around the
lower edge of the hoof at the point
where it is the hardest.
The ease with which the shoe may
be put on and taken off permits it's
fortunate wearer to enjoy luxury
that has been denied him up to the
present time, for now the horse may
remove his shoes before retiring for
the night. We all know what q relief
it is to.take off our footgear, especially

An important: Invention That May!
@ Prove 4 Boon for Horses. III

WV . Ifst
sIn,one respect The human race has
made very little Improvement during
the past few thousand years. his is,
in the matter OF horseshoes. Our pres
ent method of shoeing horses has not
changed materially for centuries, and
has always been rude and irrational.
One of the chief objections to the sys-
tenn is that the hoof is made to ft the
shoe instead of the shoe to fit the hoof:.
This involves lot of cutting and
sczaping, and is the chief cause OF
lameness and stumbling. The use OF
nails is also serious objection, as, no
matter how careful the blacksmith
msy be, there are cases when q tender
spot will be penetrated. It is quite
obvious that nature never intended
nails to be driven into horses hoof.
The !. accompanying illustrations,
saws the New York World, show q
novel horseshoe that has been sub /.
iected to q careful and thorough trial
on half dozen horses. In every in.
stance it has worked to perfection.
The inventor is q. Z. Reynolds, Of Au-
burn, N. 7.
Like great many works Of genius,
the one in question is extremely sim.
pie. It consists of q band OF metal
about an inch high, which fits around
the lower edge of the hoof. At the
base of this band there is . sort OF
projecting shelf, or fange, which is
made to ft into q groove which runs
around the inside of the shoe. The
latter is made of steel, of the usual
shape and style. The only difference

relieved when deprived of bis heavy
iron clogs. s.
another point of advantage. on
which the inventor properly lays much
stress, is the fact that the shoe is
grasped firmly to the hoof at every
point. Under the mailing system the
last nails towards the rear are driven
about half way between the heel and
toe. This leaves one-half. of the shoe
on either side unfastened. There is
thus considerable leverage, and it is
for this reason that so many shoes
come of. Ifthis shoe is caught, say
in track, at the rear end. it is almost
sure to come off: This difficulty is
obviated in Mr.. Reynolds's shoe. In
fact, some persons have objected to
this shoe on the ground that it will
never pull of in an accident, thus rem.
dering the hoof itself liable to injury.
The fastening in the rear is made by
means of spring clinch, which may.
be of any strength desired. 1t has one
end fast to the hoof of the rear up
right extension of the calk, and the
other end has a metallic bearing, at
tached to the hoof an inch or more

getting the knack of holding pen or
pencil between q wooden or rubber
fnger and thumb, but if both hands
are missing it becomes necessary.
In regard to artificial arms and
hands some great results have been
attained. The work on these is much
more complicated than on the leg, but
still hands are made with fingers that
will pick up pin or handle sword
with wonderful facility. The simplest
contrivance for making the fingers
work naturally is strap which goes
over the shoulder. By "hunching"
or working the shoulder joint this
strap is made to act upon a mechanism
in the forearm and action is thus COM
municated to the fingers SO that they
will open and shut. -.
While it is advisable for anyone who
intends procuring artificial limbs to
visit the factory in person to get 8
rerfect fit, it is possible to get fairly
good results from a plaster Of Paris
cast. 1t is sometimes impossible for
people to reach large cities where this
work can be dore as it should, and in
such cases the plaster cast serves
good purpose. So also in regard to
the cost of limbs. A perfect leg will
cost about $75, while an arm, owing
to the complicated mechanism, will
cost from $40 to 500.
There are what the makers call peg
legs. These are finished legs except
that they have no foot They are
made with a peculiar joint at the
knee, 80 that the peg can be either stiff
or, by turning a screw. can be made
to work on a hinge, as the wearer likes
best. The socket receptacle is hol.
lowed out in the complete leg. and
they can be made very comfortable.
There is wide difference OF opinion
regarding the time that ought to elspse
after amputation before the artificial
limb should be tried, but fair aver
age of all judgments on the matter
sets the time at three months, and 1t
will then take two weeks to turn out
limb

When these two parts are put together
and connected q natural working
ankle Joint is produced. The ordin.
ary make has only the back and for
ward motion, though IN some cases q
joint having a lateral action is found
necessary. This, however, is not often.
The next point to which the work
man gives his attention is the toe
Joint. This is q simple contrivance
TO look at, but it is an ingenious piece
of mechanism. 1t is difficult to get
this hinge to exactly suit the step of
the wearer. Then comes the socket
for the reception of the stump. This
Is a work of great care, for in the per
feet fit here lies all the comfort or dis
comfort. In one end OF the original
block as it arrives ut the factory is
round anger hole. With peculiar
tool, shaped like a hook, with sharp
edge, the workman begins enlarging
this hole until he has made it fit the
stump so that it touches with precisely
the same bearing every portion Of it.
If the amputation has been below the
knee then comes the stout steel Fnee
Joint. The making and fitting OF this
pert of the limb requires great skill.
Tie necessity is found for a separate
knee piece of wood. This is fashioned
into a shapely knee cap, and so ad-
iusted that each end works smoothly
and steadily in either the top socket
OF the lower limb or the bottom part
of t,,e upper limb.

BILE wooden peg. Although frequently
spoken of as "cork" legs, that very
useful material has never been factor
in the making of an artificial limb.
Artificial limbs are made generally
from red or English willow. This
comes to the manufacturer in blocks
after a thorough seasoning Of two
years. For legs, these blocks are long
enough to form either the lower or
calf OF the upper or thigh part of the
limb. Then there is the foot block.
All the work is done by hand. Jnven-
tion has not yet devised machinery for
making artificial limbs. The first
thing the operator does is tohew the
foot block into some rough semblance
of human foot, and into this is put
one part of the ankle hinge. Then
the skin is rudely formed and the other
portion of the ankle hinge is adjusted.

the artificial article is truly blessing.
It appears to be difficult task to de-
termine the date of the first appear
ance of this great boon to humanity.
For centuries the unfortunate cripple
was on object of pity, neglected and
entirely at the mercy OF the unskilled
surgeon. Crude and cruel methods
were adopted by the ancients in cut
ting off limb. It was not until the
seventeenth century that any humane
means of stopping the hemorrhage was
discovered. Previous to that, after a
leg or arm had been knocked off by
the use of mallet and chisel. the
stump was scared over with red hot
irons to stop the flow of the blood.
And even after all this torture the
sufferer was compelled to hobble about
as best he could without the slightest
hope of ever having his condition
ameliorated. And YET some substitute
for a missing member was certainly
found by the ancients, for Herodotus,
who died in 408 B. c., tells US in some
of his historical works of prisoner
who amputated his own foot to free
himself from the shackle, and was thus
enabled to escape and return to his
home, where his friends provided him
with wooden foot. An artificial leg
was found in 1885 at Capua in tufa
tomb, and is now on exhibition in the
Academy of Sciences in London. At
the feet of the skeleton where this
relict was found lay three vases bear
ing the date of BOOB. c., proving that
the art OF making artificial limbs is an
old one.

tury, however, marks the time when
