This contraction would unavoidably cause a disturbance WHEN NEW BUILDINGS ARE COMPLETED worn by Christian, Duke of Brunswick Ambrose Pare devised artificial limbs with movable joints which were made for him by artificers, of whom Lor raine, a locksmith, was the most famous. Pare devotes a special chap ter to the means of repairing or sup plying natural or accidental defects in the human body, He describes ar tificial eyes and noses, an artificial tongue and an artificial palate. At a later period Father Sebastian Car melite monk, made movable arms and hands. In the earlier part of the sev enteenth century Peter Lowe, in his ‘Discourses on the Whole Art of Chirurgery,' gives representations of artificial legs. About the middle of the same century Faleinelll, a Floren. tine surgeon, mentions the use of ar tificial eyes of silver, gold and crystal painted in various colors, (AYING CORNERSTONE, | Impressive Ceremony Incident to | Construction of New Capi- tol Buildings.
