MARVELLOUS INVENTIONS.
German Scientist Invents Device for
Use of Armless Men.
At the convention of German Or-
thopedic Society, held in Berlin, many
inventions of methods for repairing
the wastes of war have been exhibit-
ed or discussed.
Dr. Ferdinand Sauorbruch, profes-
ser` of surgery at Zurich University,
showed the delegates an artificial
hand which was able to grasp object$
of all forms and to lift weights up to
22 pounds. An entirely novel feature
of the land is that it and the fingers
are controlled by muscular action in
the upper arm, which is prepared for
such work by two operations. The
muscular power afterwards is trans-
mitted to the band through a system
of wires and pulleys, to which all the
fingers respond.
Dr. Karl Ludloff, professor of sur-
gery at Breslau University, described
a method for uniting severed nerves
and eeviving the muscular actionof
nerveless limbs. Dr. Ludloff pointed
out that the natural tendency of se-
veral ends of nerves to reunite is
hindered by the fact that the ciee-
trised new flesh between them is im-
pervious to growing nerve fibres. --'
Prof. Ludloff said he restores the
connection by a piece of an artery
of An ox filled with gelatine, through
which nerves readily grow, even
bridging gaps of several inches. In
several weeks crippled limbs •regaili
