It Is also producing fairly high tefnperatures% except in Montana and the Dakotaa where the weather is cold. under the influence of high pressure in western Canada.
 The weather will eontinue fair in Alabama tonight but Friday the weather Will be partly cloudy to cloudy. with showers in the afternoon.

THE SURGERY OF THE AN
GENTS.

What is known to modern dentists
as bridge work was familiar to the
Etruscans. as extant specimens attest,
according to an interesting article in
the British Medical Journal. Plaster
ears, noses and lips were common
among the Indians. where the cutting
off of these features was punishment
much in use. and Greek and Roman
veterans who had lost leg or an arm
in war tried to make good the de-
ficiency by artificial substitutes. 1t is
stated further:
What is said to be the Oldest artifi-
cial leg in existence is now in the mu-
scum OF the Royal College OF Surgeons
OF England. II was found in a tomb
at Capua. Pliny speaks of Roman
warrior who, century and half be-
fore the birth OF Christ, wore an arti-
manipulate a sword In the Middle
Ages artificial limbs sometimes re-
paired the disablements OF war. The
iron hand of Goetz Won Berlichingen
was an ingenious piece OF mechanism
made for that famous knight i'm 1904.

which was carved for the Festival Hall

this she was awarded a silver medal.
AT the close of the fair the original

in the already hardened shell that sur
rounds the inner mass. That shell
must give way at some point. Aside
from the contractions Of the earth's
surface. another cause is given that
might affect the changing of the sur
face Of given part of the world. This
cause Is the accumulation OF vast
weight of sedimentary deposit brought
down by rivers. For example. the Mis-
sissippi River is entirely made up OF
the deposits of the streams washing
down from higher lands. The weight
or that deposit would be difficult to
calculate, and resting upon a portion
OF the earth's shell. might occasion it's
sinking. This theory is held by some
scientists in connection with the Cali
fornia disaster, for the Sacramento
River is the depositor OF vast weights
OF sediment in the Pacific waters near
San Francisco.

are never caused by volcanoes, but by
faulting plains This is particularly
true Of both seaboards Of the United
States. Mr.. Walcott and other scien-
lists Of the Geological and Geodetic
Surveys agree that scientifically the
recent disturbances were caused by
conditions identical with those pertain
ing during the earthquake which de-
molished Charleston. s. c.. on August
81, 1886. Volcanoes occasionally cause
shaking Of the earth's crust. but the
disturbances occasiOned By pentup
gases seeking to escape are felt only
locally.
The cause generally attributed to
earthquakes is the gradual cooling Of
the earth, which Is known to still be a
molten mass inside. When any object
cools It contracts, and so will the earth
as Il grows colder. This contraction
would unavoidably cause a disturbance
