MECHANIC HAS INVENTED
SET OF FINGERS
lBv Associated Press. J

Munich, May 20. One of the
many remarkable artificial hands in
vented during the course of the war
is one just perfected by mechanic
named WILL who claims to have
solved the problem of creating fin
gers which can be moved independ-
entity of one another and which will
grasp an object as does the human
hand.
The fingers of this artificial hand
are made of slender pieces of steel
three to a finger, connected and at
tached by tiny hinges to the metal
constituting the palm by a system
of fine wires running to the elbow
or the shoulder the fingers can, it is
claimed be crooked to any desired
degree so as to supply the power to
grasp. A twist of the arm releases
the grasp of the finger on the OBJ
jects they hold.
Wits invention was made possible,
it is declared, by the German Mus
cum of Munich, one of the worlds
famous technical institutions VIII
the idea of the hand and
laid it before the museum authori-
ties, who then placed at his disposal
I hn nucpsSarV means and a assistance
to perfect it. Now that it is COM
pleted the museum has given the de-
tails to the larger scientific maga-
zines Of Germany, and offers to equip
free of cost anywhere shops or lab
for manufacturing the
hand on a larger scale. The faith of
the museum authorities in the inven
tion is considered by many per ons
as proof of its practicability.

TRYING TO RAISE POSTAL AND
TELEGRAPH RATES IN AMERICA

Berlin, May 90. A proposal by
the government to increase postal
and telegraphic rates in order to add
to its revenut has met with opposi-
tion from papers that believe the
public will defeat the object Of the
plan by writing fewer letters, but
also from publications which main
tain that higher telegraph tolls will
put Germany at an increased dlsad-
vantage in its effors to place It's case
before the eutral world. n
Telegraph rates, in so far as they
concern the newspapers, should be
reduced rather than raised, It is
contended. The papers seem to be
unanimous in a belief that Germany
in the past has neglected rather than
recognized the value Of facilitating
its means Of getting German news
to the rest of the world, and Of re-
ceiving the news of the rest Of the
world
