UNIVERSITY LECTURE.
Dr. Whiting Discusses the Mechanism
Of The Human Body.

1.-THE Mechanism OF the Human
| Body" was the subject treated at the
University public lecture last evening
The lecturer was Dr.. q. A, sWliting,
and good.sized audience listened to
his interesting treatment OF the suh-
jtct.
The lecture for next Tuesday night
is, Chow the body ia supported" to
be given by the same lecturer, DR..
Whiting.
The discourse given last evening
was illustrated throughout by skele.
tons, bones. models and black board
drawings, and below we present q
synopsis of some of the principsl sub
ects treated.
The skeleton begins In the form of
cartilage. Cartilages may be divided
into two classes, temporary and per.
manent. The permanent cartilage re.
mains csrtilaginous during life, while
the temporary cartilage sooner or later
becomes ossitied or bony. The per.
maneDt car.ilsges consist of three well
marked varieties, the hysllne cartilage,
the white fbrous cartilage anu Inc
yellow elastic cartilage. The hya.
limo cartilage closely resembles
and perhaps is just the same as
the temporary cartilage. 1t consists Of
cells separated from each ether by a
secretion from the cell known as the
matrix of the cartilage. The white,
fibrous cartilage and the yellow dbroue
cartilage ss are Indicated by their
L.. nh
sisting of threads running nearly or
quite parallel to each other, and differ.
ing in the fact that the W bite cartilage
IL highly elastic. These last two vaTi-
cites OF cartilage are found around the
Joints, serving as ligaments, binding
one bone to another. Not alone do
these cartilages bind the bones to each
other, but by forming pads between
the bones, they increase the plisbility
OF the limbs. Thus the knee Joint is q
perfect sample OF hinge joint and 30
far as the bones are concerned the
only motion permitted Ia backward
and and forward motion, but owing TO
the cartilaginOus pad between the
bones a somewhat lateral motion H.
permitted.
While most OF the bones OF the body
begin as cartiiages, there are some OF
the bones OF the body, particularly
those Of the skull, which begin as
membranes ana are known as men,
branous bones in contTadislincti n
from the true cartilsginous bones.
Covering the bones 10 membrane
known rs the periosteum, which ia de-
veloped from the membrane know as
the perlcbonurium, which envelope
the cartilage. The bony tissue begins
not only In the cells OF the CARTILAGE
hut also In the periohondrium, go thai
the bone In its development, ossities
from the centor out as well as from tho
surface towards the oenter.
Bones are freely permeated by blood
vessels, lymuhgtics and nerves. The
tubert ptrmeRting the bones are known
as hsversisn canals, anu In each OF
these canals are found a nerve, artery
anu vein rs well as q Emphatic vessel.
The long bones are tubular 90 lar as
the shaft or the middle part OF the
bone Is concerned but in the ends near
