Pet With a Silver Joint.
rom the Strand.


With an elbow joint of silver and
chilled steel. little pet monkey in San
Francisco is proving by his ability that
the al tificial union is a success He is
demonstrating what is likely TO prove a
tremendous discovery in surgery-that
anlsylcsed joints hardened and stiffenei
by disease) can be replaced by an
opera ton that is not necessarily costly
or dangerous. The same sort of opera
tioa has been performed with equal
success upon a pet dog. and in this case
the hind leg of the animal was prpvid-
ed with a joint of metal. which appears
to be as satisfactory for the possessor
as the one provided by nature. In the
near future il is planned to provide
human being with this style of steel
and-silver joint. and the perfecting OF
this device Will restore to usefulness
many people who have become absolute
ly helpnesS by reason of accident or dis
ease. There various causes for this
complete or partial rigidity of the joints,
such as rheumatism. gout and tubercu-
losis. ard in extreme cases II has been
necessary to break a joint about which
osseous material had deposited OF
course, it is only in extreme cases. and
after other methods fail that IL should
be necessary to perform this operation
of removing the natural joint and replac-
ing il with metal. In the operations
UPON animals il was found that when
the tendons were extended properly the
muscles did their work as perfectly as
in normal limb, and the joints re-
sponded with the readiness of natural
ones The bones are capped with sockets,
which are of silver. and these are
joined to a joint of steel. The inventor
of this remarkable joint is a leading
San Francisco surgeon. Dr. Milton FRAN

Piled workmen in a railroad hospital led
him to search for this method of relief.

Climatic Grouches.

From the Seattle IOSt-lntelUgencfr.
Climate has a strong influence in shap-
ing the disposition. thoughts and actions
of men. Piercing cold and high winds
are not conducive to peace of mind and
calmness of temper. To many tempera-
ments windy day means tangled and
frazzled nerves and an irritable mood
The evidence is plain that land en-
dowed with bright skies and baimy
breezes breeds sweet-tempered sons and
daughters. On one side there may be ir-
ritahility. keenness TO get and to Keep,
''nearness' in money matters and con-
servative chilliness of manner. On the
other side there may be good temper.
generosity. sociability, liberation and a
disposition to some confidence in ones

driven to experiment with new non

noticed that men stop and converse with

a little later. when the elixir may be

era of ood-fellowship Is looked for. At
present the people of the middle west and

the climate will permit. 1t is plain that
the crouch cure viii show more marked
results In the boisterous climates than
where the softer breezes blow, and the

il is believed that there never viii be a
general call or need for the Crouch cure

Matters Holding Over.

Many Of the most important matters
taken up at the adjourned Chicago meet
ing some time ago were left in abeyance
because early action would not have been
advantageous to the clubs until all had
established themselves on sound finan-
cial basis and could show that they had
secured grounds in their respective cities

which was appointed to look after such
matters.
Another important detail that is beng
gone over at todays meeting is the
chance of securing players from the
major and minor leagues which are now
operating under the rules OF the natio ial
commission.
Several star players from the. major
leagues are said to be anxious to cast
