the workers In the steel and iron
mills of the Pittsburg district, de-
clares writer IN Current Literature
By singular paradox an idea prevails
among the workers themselves that
these labors of theirs are healthful.
The whole subject has just been In
vestlgated with pains and thorough
ness by the expert of the New York
state department of labor, John A.
Fitch, who finds the workers for the
most part healthy, but he suspects
that this excellent physical condition
is due to the precautions taken by
the men, and not to the capacity they
possess for withstanding the terrific
strain to which they are subjected
daily. The severity of the strain It.

There are many marvo us stories OF
the indestructibility ~ Luz, and the
bone has been located by rival claim
ants to the honor of discovering 1t in
various parts of the human skeleton
THE most careful searching in the
last published and amplest treatise on
osteology will not result in the dis
covery of the bone called Luz" says
a writer in the Lancet. 1T will be
necessary to go to the Frankfort edi-
ton of the 'Theatrum Anatomicum' Of
Caspar Bauhinus (1621) for descrip-
ton: 1T is stated by Hebrew writer's
to be a bone which cannot be de-
stroyed by fire, water or any other
element, nor be broken or bruised by
any force. Its site is in the spine
from the eighteenth vertebra to the
femur.
I'VE read that the Emperor Had
rian once asked Rabbi Joshua, the
son of Channi, how God would resur-
rect man In the world to come. He
made answer: From the bone Luz
in the spinal column" When Had
rian asked him how he came by this
knowledge and how he could prove It,
the Rabbi Joshua produced the bone
so that the emperor could see it
When placed in water 1t could not be
softened: it was not destroyed by
fire, nor could it be ground by any
weight; when placed on an anvil and
struck with a hammer the anvil was
broken in sunder. but the bone re
manned intact Hieronymus Magius
represents chat, according to the
Talmudists, the real bone is near the
base of the skull, whether 1t be in the
base itself or in the spine. Vesalius
writes that this ossicle is described
by the Arabs as resembling chick
pea in size and shape, and Cornelius
Agrippa describes it as magnitudine
ciceris mundati (the size of shelled
peal. Different anatomists have held
1t yariously to be the sacrum, the
coccyx, the twelfth dorsal vertebra
