he left the hospital he looked in
vain for an arm that was service
able, so he started to make one
himself. He studied anatomy of
the arm and fingers and combined
their natural principles in an ar
rangement of steel levers, ratchet
gearing and crank that they would
readily respond to the muscle force
and nerve impulses of the stump.
He developed an arm that could
be flexed or Strengthened and fin
gers that could be opened and
closed at will.
Carnes made meager living
for eight years building arms for
other people. His orders were few
and he never got enough money
to buy the tools he needed.
In 1908 Prescott lost an arm
and leg In an elevator in his own
building here. He soon found a
leg to walk upon, but his physi-
clans told him it was useless to
look for an arm. Prescott heard
of Carnes and went to see him.
Carnes built an arm which Pres
colt still wears.
Then Prescott, who had plenty
of money, suggested factory in
his home town. He organized a
company and Carnes was placed
In charge. Carnes keeps improv-
ing hts arm and says 1t is far
from perfect yet.
About the office and factory
there is joking and laughing.
Everyone feels he is giving SER
vice for value received, and Incl
dentally helping someone else
along.

that. in their line of work, little ex-
aggeration does no harm.

One end of piece Of the dried stem

material is also crushed into the form

To popularize lighting and heating
by electricity, various plans are being
tried by European electric stations. In
Bremen limited current is offered to
small users, making it practicable for
workingman's family to use specified
number of lamps-say, three Of 16-
candlepower-and no more, the cost
to be about the same as that for oil
lighting. The house may be wired for
any number of lamps, the current
limiter preventing the use of more
than the contract number at one time.
In Vienna, the municipal plant Is seek
ing to encourage electric baking, and
provides free ovens for local bakeries,
guaranteeing that the electric current
shall not cost more than sources of
heat, hitherto employed. Great results
ere expected. Among the advantages
claimed are saving of time, greater
cleanliness, greater ease of manage
ment and regulation, and the banish-
ment Of chimneys and flues. It 10
