WHY Pain IL Felt.

at is :. matter of common knowl-
edge that a person who has had leg
or an arm amputated will afterward
complain of feeling rains or aches in
the toes or the fingers of the amputat-
ed member, as they put il, or, more
properly, in the extremity OF what
would have been the limb had IL not
been amputated," said a Washington
physician.
Some people are inclined to doubt
that these sensations exist in the
minds of the patient, while others
who are willing TO accept it are at n
loss to understand the cause of the
complaint. The reason is compara-
lively simple, though it is not general
ly understood.
IF a mans leg be fractured and
crushed from the knee down, for in
stance, he will complain, before ampu-
tation, and often afterward, OF pain in
his foot and toes. He does not feel
the sensation of pain in the crushed
parts. This is because the pain is felt
at the termination of the nerves of
sensation in the foot of the injured
limb, and not along their course.
1T is upon this principle that a man
complains of a pain in his foot when
the foot is cut Off. The pain is really
in the stump Of the limb. but the SEN
satory nerves refer it to the former
termination of the nerves. This refer
ence acts upon the brain TO the extent
Of causing the patient to seem to feel
the ache in the place where the foot
formerly was.'-Washingto Star.

Root grating can be done in the

apple seedlings one or two years old;
cions OF the desired variety, as near

and a knife with a keen edge. The
cions are shoots Of the past seasons
growth-wood Of one year. For
stocks only young trees should be used.
Some have grated OH pieces of the
roots dug up from large trees. The
young trees are first washed to free
them from grit, then the small fibrous
roots are trimmed off, then as each
tree is taken up TO be grated. the top
Is cut off at the collar, with a slOping
cut about an inch long. A cion about
three inches in length Is then prepared
with the same kind OF cut on the low
er end-the cut on the root, ii Will be
observed, is on the upper end. In each
OF these stopping cuts, a slit of near
ly three-quarters OF an inch as made,

ALUMINIUM HOUSES.

Al the Pan-American Exposition
slsitors will have the opportunity OF
seeing small building made OF alum

Niagara Falls with the use OF the
electricity generated there in large
quantities. Niagara Falls is the prin'
cipal aluminium manufacturing place
in the world. and the white metal is
product OF the two principal factories
located there, current being taken from
both OF the great power companies.
This Pan-American structure will be

Building. In shape IL will be octagon'

built in a space OF fifteen feet square.
The height will be about twenty-five
feet. and IL will be made OF No. "a
sheet. The architecture will resemble
the Spanish Renaissance, practically
the same style adopted for the build
ings OF the great exposition. Its lines
will be graceful. and there will be 4
beauty about IL that will win new ad-
miration for aluminium. No doubt the
presence OF this building AT the ex-
position will suggest numerous ideas
10 inventive minds whereby aluminium
in similar sheets may be utilized 10
add 10 the lightness and beauty OF
various structures. Pure aluminium is
so white and silvery in appearance
that il will be hard for many 10 believe
that the building is not a genuine sill

in the architectural line, and old as
we'll as young will be interested in
II. During recent years the price of
aluminium has been so reduced that
II has now cached a point where il
comes in close and successful competi-
tion with several OF the other cheap
metals. This is why IL enters into the
manufacture OF so many articles the
display Of which AT the Pan-American
Exposition will excite much favorable
