Artificial Limbs,

The manufact ure of artificial limbs
Is Of very ancient origin The grand
father of Catiline In early life lost his
right hand In battle. but made himself
an iron substitute with which he could
handle sword or lance About fifteen
years ago a tomb was opened Mt Ca
qua, which contained remarkable
specimen Of a well made artificial leg.
1t was composed Of thin sheets Of
bronze. riveted together. and fastened
to wooden core. Iron bars connected
the leg with a bronze belt round the
waist of the skeleton. and there were
traces Of wooden foot. The iron hand
Of Gotz Won Berlichingen Is historic,
but among the German knights of his
time there Is record Of one who had
an iron foot which weighed nearly ten
pounds. and with this pedal extension
he could kick SO hard that his servants
finally stole 1t and threw 1t into the
Rhine. He had second made which
shared the fate of the first, and he
then contented himself with foot
made of German oak. The servants
and retainers Of his castle did not ap-
parently mind being kicked with an
oaken foot, but they drew the line at
iron.
