THURSDAY,

WONDE RS OF THE HAND,

ONE OF THE MOST PERFECT PIECES OF MECHANISM.

Prof. Henry Drummond Gives the Scien- tifle Uses and Value of the Human Hand and the Variourt Movements Necessary

to Its Perfect Action,

One of the moat perfect pieces of me- | chanism in the human body is the hand. How long it has taken to develop may bs | dimly seen by a glance at the long array | of lees accurate instruments of prehension which shade away with ever decreasing | delicacy and perfectness as we lescend the scale of animal life. At the bottom of that scale isthe amr-ba. It is « speck of protoplasinic jelly, “headless, footless and armless,

When it wishes to seize microscopic par- ticles of food on which a portion of its body lengthens out, and, moving to- wards the object, flows over it, enyulfs it, and imelts back again into the body. This is its hand. At any place, at any moment, it creates a hand. Each hand is extem- | por-zed as it is needed; when not needed itis not. Passa little higher up the scale and observe the The hand

it lives,

Sea -anemobe.

but lengthened portions of the body are set apart and kept permanently in shape for the purpose of seizing food.

Watch, in the next place, the hand of an African monkey. Note the great increase in usefulness due to the mus- culararm upon which the hand is now ex- tended, and the extraordinary capacity for varied motion afforded by the threefold system of jointing at shoulder, elbow and wrist, The hand itself is almost the hu- man hand; there are palm and nail and ar- ticulated fingers. But observe how one circumstance hinders the possessor from taking full advantage of these great im- provements—this hand has no thumb, or, if it has, it is but arudiment. To estim- ate the importance of this apparentiy in- significant organ, try fora moment with- out using the thumb to hold a bvok or write a letter, or do any single piece of manual work, A thumb is not merely an additional finger, but a finger so arranged as to be opposabie to the other fingers, and thus possesses a practical efficacy greater than all the fingers puttogether. It is this which gives the organ of fon er to seize, to hold, to manipulate, to do higher work; this simple mechanical device, in short, endows the hand of intelligence with all its capacity and skill. Now there are animals, like the colobi, which have no thumb at all; there are others, like the marmoset, which possess the thumb, but in which it is not opposable; and there «re others, the chimpanzee, for instance, in which the hand is in all essentials identical with man’s. In the human form the thumb is # little longer, and the whole member more delicate and shapely, but even for the use of her higher product, Nature has not been able to make auything much more perfect than the hand of this anthropoid ape.

Is the hand then finished? Can Nature take ont no new patent in this direction? Is the fact that no novelty is introduced in the case of man a proof that the ultimate hand has appeared? By no means. And yet itis probable for other reasons that the ultimate hand has appeared ; that there will never be a more perfectly handed animal than man. And why? Because the causes which up to the point have furthered the evolution of the hand have begun to cease to act. In the perfecting of the bodily organs, as of all other de- vices, necessity is the mother of inven- tion.

As the hand was given more and more to do, it became more and more adapted to its work. Up toa point it responded directly to each new duty laid upon it. But only upto a point. There came a time when the necessities became too numerous and too varied for adaptation to keep pace with them, And the fatal day eame, the fatal day for the hand, when he who bore it made a new discovery of tools. Henceforth what the hand used to du, and was slowly becoming adapted to do better, was to be done by external appliances. So that it anything new arose to be done, to be better done, it was not a better hand that was now made, but a better tool. Tools are external hands. Levers are the extensions of the bones of thearm. Ham- mere are callous substitutes for the fist. Knives do the work of nails. The vice and pincers replace the fingers. The day that cave man first split the marrow-bons of a bear, thrusting a stick into it and striking it home with a stone—that day the doom of the hand was sealed.

But has not man to make his tools, and will not that induce the development of the hand to an as yet unknown perfection? No. Because tools are not made with the hand. They are made with the brain, For a time, certainly, man had to make his tools, and fora time this work recom- pensed him physically, and the arm be- came elastic and the fingers dexterous and strong. But soon he made tools to make these tools. In place of shaping things with the hand, he invented the turning- lathe; to save his fingers he requisitioned the loom; instead of working his muscles he gave out the contract to electricity and steam. Man, therefore, from this time forward will cease to develop materially these organs of his body. If he develops them outside his body, filling the world everywhere with artificial hands, supply- ing the workshops with fingers more in- tricate and deft than organic evolution could make in a millennium, and loosing energies upon them infinitely more gigan- tic than his muscles could ever generate in a whole lifetime, it is enough.

Aluminiam Shoe Nails.

On the late visit of Prince Bismarck te

the Emperor the latter called the attention of the ex-Chancellor to the improvements made in the boots of the Prussian infan- try. This consisted in the displacement of the old-fashioned steel nails by nails of aluminium, which is much lighter and more durable. The extra weight under the sole of the foot imposed by the heavy nails formerly worn, and the added autaha consequent upon the clogging mud in hasty weather, made a great and needless extra cmount of muscular expenditure necessary.

Interesting Details of the Method of Cul- tare—Cultivating and Hoeing—Topping the Plants—The “Suckering” Process

Pouliry and a Diet of Green Worms.

Mr. William Bonner, who for ten years has been maneger of Hiram Walker & Sons 110 acre tobacco farm near Walker- ville, talked interestingly to a Windsor Record reporter the other day. He said:

I may as well begin at the beginning if I am to tell you what I know about tobacco- sxrowinz, here and elsewhere. I came to

this farm just ten years ago last April—a year after a beginning had beer made in cultivating tebacco on this farm. The

season had been an unfavorable one, and only about 1,600 pourds of tobacce was raised on the farm. The most of that crop is, [ think, still on our hands.

Before coming here I had been engaged in raising tobacco in Massachusetts, and had been so employed ever since I was ten years old. I may say that, in that State— and it is pretty well the same in Kentucky and Virginia—there are no large tobacco plantatians to speak of, the rule being for each farmer to have only a few acres un- der tobacco in addit#n to what other crops he may raise.

I can hardly say that tobacco growing in this part of the county is a uniformly pro- fitable industry. Some years there is money in it, and other years money is lost init. We grow two varieties of tobacco on this farm, the “Connecticut Seed Leaf”’ and the “White Burley.’’ The former thrives well here, but the season is rather short for the Burley, which is a Southern variety, and is largely grown in Kentucky and Southern Ohio. The Connecticut Seed Leaf grows anywhere in this latitude —in Massachusetts, New York, Connecti- cutand, to some extent, in Wisconsin. It is an early variety and therefore more suitable for cultivation where the season is comparatively short. It is not,however, sosaleable as the Burley because it is a cigar tobacco, and the demand for Cana- dian tobacco for cigar purposes is very limited indeed.

We plough up the land in May and thor- oughly pulverize it, using chiefly disk har- rows for that purpose, then the soil is thrown up into ridges, four feet apart, by “a machine made for the purpose, called a ““*ridger.”’

The plants are grown in hot-beds, the seed being sown under glass about the first of April, and they are ready for trans- planting about the first of June. They are then taken and planted in the ridges on the field, two-and-a-half feet apart. The transplanting is neatly and expedi- tiously done by a machine invented for the purpose only two or three yearsago. I could not explain the process very intelli- gently to you unless you saw the machine at work. It is enough for the present pur- pose to say that three men and a tenm can plant41-2acres in a day, the machine watering the plants as it sets them. One man drives the team while the other two feed the machine, putting in » plant alter- nate.y.

The next operations are cultivating and hoeing. These begin in the last days of June and are continued throughout July. In fact the cultivating is kept up until the plants get so large that it is imposslble to get through them with a horse without breaking the leaves.

Next comes the “topping,” which means the breaking off of the bulb or blossom, leaving from 15 to 20 leaves on each plant. On a thriving plant we leave more leaves, breaking off the bulb at a higher point of the stalk than we do on astunted one.

Then follows the “suckering” or “sprouting’’ as it issometimes called. This is done about ten days after the “topping,” the suckers or sprouts making their ap- pearance aboutthattime. “Suckering”’ is s tedious job, as you may easily imagine when I tell you that every individual leaf has its sucker, that there are, on an aver- age, 18 leaves on each plant and that we have about 550,000 plants in the field. That gives us 9,900,000 suckers or there- abouts, and the work of breaking them off has all to be done by hand. We employ about fifty men to do this job.

About this time the Green, or Tobacco Worm puts in an appearance and the pests have to be picked off by hand—that is, if the grower has not, as I have done, fallen on a plan of disposing of them in a way that is much more expeditious and quite as effective. Picking them by hand en- tails, of course, a heavy outlay in wages. If we picked the worms off the plants on this farm by hand it would cost, at least, #500 each season, an amount which would put a big hole in our profits on the crop. As amatter of fact the disposal of the worms does not, by the method I have adopted, cost more than #100, if so much.

it occurred to me, some time ago, that, if I turned a sufficiently big tlock of chick- ens into the field, and gave them nothing else to eat, they would fall to and gobble up the worms. The plan worked like a charm. The birds got away with, I verily believe, millions of worms, but, strange to say, they got very lean on the diet. They cleared the plants of the pests, however, in short order, and, after their work was through, we shut them up and fattened therm on more nutricious food. I don’t know how their flesh would have tasted had they been killed and cooked at the time they were feeding on the green worms, but, after getting a change of diet and undergoing the fattening-up process, they tasted just like any other chickens,

The harvesting of the leaf begins about the 20th or 25th of August, or about three or four weeks after ‘topping,’ the time varying with the favorableness, or the re- verse, of the weather. We begin by removing the suckers, which still continue to sprout, in spite of their having been broken off. We then cut down the plants with a hatchet and allow them to lie on the ground until they are thoroughly wilt- ed, great care being taker that they do not get sun-burned during that time. Then the plants are picked up and strung ona lath by a needle which pierces the stem about 8 inches from the butt. Five or six plants, according to size, are placed on afour-foot lath. They are then loaded on as rack, made for the purpose and fitted on @ wagon, and on this they are conveyed to the barns to be cured. The barns are 14 in number, each 9 x 42 feet and 16 feet in height at the eaves. Every third vertical board in the walls is a door for ventilating. The plants are hung up there on the laths and remain so until they are thoroughly cured.

The leaf is cured, usually by about November 1, when the plant is taken down and the leaf stripped from the stalk, tied up in what is known to the trade as “hands” and packed, if sold in early win- ter, in bales of 30) Ibs. to the bale. If not so sold, the leaf is packed in boxes con- taining 350 lbs. to 450 lbs. each; the boxes vary in length according to the length of the tobacco, Ps
