ARTIFICIAL LEG.-We had the pleasure
Yesterday Of conversation with Professor B.
Frank. Palmer, who exhibits at the National
Fair an artificial leg, "invented and construct
ed" says the Loom, "by himself, which sur
passes superlatively, in elegance and utility,
all artificial legs heretofore known. Its con-
structon ami operation are upon new and SCI
enti6c principles-its appearance wonderfully
like the natural limb. The articulations are
almost entirely free Of friction--not liable to
contract and expand, and are so arranged that
the exterior Of the limb appears complete
likeness of the leg. The tendons and springs
which regulate the movements of the joints,
are all entirely concealed in the interior of the
leg, and so arranged that the wearer can regu-
late them at any time, if circumstances require
Two elastic tendons are employed in this leg,
one of which regulates and stops the motion
Of the knee and acts conjunctvely with springs
and wires, in the foot and ankle, in doing
away all awkwardness of motion in the ankle,
knee, and toes-the toes moving like natura
ones at every step. The other tendon helps to
regulate the motion Of the ankle.


The entire exterior of the limb is neatly CO.
vered with fine soft leather, (aesh color, max
ing the artificial limb appear as natural one


This kind Of artificial leg is wonderfully elias
tic, and may be walked upon with the greatest
ease. The inventor employs one Of then
(having artificial knee. ankle, and toe joints,
with so much freedom and regularity of mo
ton, that no one would suppose it an artifcia
leg"


4 The professor exhibited before us BY walking
several times across our Office floor, the facility
with which this invention supplies the place
to considerable extent, Of the natural limb
and we believe it decidedly superior to any ar
ti6cial leg we have ever seen.

concert on Wednesday night, at Concert Hall
He accompanied his voice with the Melodeon
and performed several pieces in masterl,
style. Taken altogether, the concert was cal
culated TO exert high moral influence, ant
we think Mr.. c. deserves-wel deserves,
share Of the public patronage; and should any
Of our readers desire TO spend an evening hou
in listening TO good music and instructive
singing, they would not be disappointed or un
satisfied with concert by Professor Coolidge.
