ArtIacInI LeRa.

The most lIfelike and servicenble mr.
tIficIal legs in the world are manufac-
tured in America. Enormous quanti-
ties OF these limbs are shipped to Eu-
rope every year.
The first great boom in the artificial
leg business was brought about by the
civil war. Since that time railroad and
trolley car accidents have kept up an
ever increasing demand. Another fac
tor has been the general use Of antisep-
tics. The mortality among those who
have their legs amputated is far less
than formerly, and n large proportion
OF the survivors become patrons OF the
wooden leg factories.
The old fashioned peg leg is practical
~ thing Of the past. The modern ar
tiflcial leg shows great advance over
the old forms. Every improvement has
been with the idea of greater simple
ity.
The main object Of the manufactur-
crs is TO improve the ut OF the legs.
The best models now cost 500. II
costs from $5 to $25 a year to keep one
OF these in order.
Few women wear artificial legs. On
the other hand, II is becoming more
common to ut limbs to children. Legs
are made for children sometimes be
fore they can walk. They are fitted as
soon as the child learns to stand and
make II possible for II to develop sym
metrIcally.

TIE wor.t Parea CITY.

Moscow is probably the worst paw
ed city in the world. Great cobble-
stones driven by hand into a loose bed
OF sand form a roadway which y al
why's dusty In summer and muddy In
autumn. and In many Of the roads
there lis no attempt at a roadway Of
any kind. The streets are badly wa
tered and cleaned.
The city Is regarded by the Russians
as "the holy city" probably because OF
the large number Of monasterles IL con-
taIns. It was once the capital Of the
empire and still enjoys the distinction
OF being considered the capital Of the
interior. but there does not seem TO be
any particular desire on the part Of
the authorities to make II, more worthy
OF its title.
