ere ee eee ee FEELING 1N AMPUTATED LIMBS. | An Explanation of the “Funny Bone” and Other Strange Sensations. “How often have we heard a legless oran armless man say, as he pointed, down to his stump, that he could feel | that foot which he lost twenty years ago just as plainly as though it were | there now,” said an anatomist recently. “The man told you the truth in spite of | the seeming absurdity of the claim. It | arises in this wa If that part ofa divided nerve which is still connected | with the brain be stimulated, the same | sensation is perceived as if the stimulus werefapplied to all parts in which the bra s of that nerve were distributed befove they were cut off. Everybody | fas a perfect illustration of thisstrange ction in that ‘funny bone’ sensation which we all have felt when a particu- lar stroke on our elbow is given. ‘That | queer tingling pain which such a blow } produces, and which appears to have its seat in the inner forearm and hand and | in the little and ring fingers, is owing | to the filaments of the ulnar nerve | (which passes behind the elbow) being distributed to those parts, and to the sensation being always referred to the outside termination of that filament, no | matter where it may be irritated. Now, it is, of course, impossible experiment upon a single nervous fil ment, lest the accuracy with which the imagined seat of sensation produced by irritating a bundle of filaments accords with their distribution leaves no doubt of the accuracy of the following odd truths: The nearer to the brain that the stimulous of irritation is applied the more extended is the bodily sensation; hence, in diseases of the spinal ‘cord pain is often felt in all the parts sup- plied with nerves coming off from the cord below the diseased portion, and the pain of dividing a nerve is felt over all the parts of which its branches are distributed. This the circumstance which gave rise to all the apparently queer ideas which our friends who have ost a limb entertain as to their still possessing it. Often so strong is this delusion that they will insist on seeing or touching the vacant space be- fore being satisfied that it is a mere fancy of their own. For example, the constant cry of a patient who has just had his leg cut off and while the doctors are dressing the stump above the knee: top squeezing my knee! ‘You hurt my toes!’ and the like. “The reason is that when those fila- ments of his nerves in his stump which ure destined for the knee or the foot be- low are touched in dressing the ampu- tation, the knee itself or the foot is ap- parently severely handled to the mind of the patient, and he suffers in that firm sensation. So deceptive are these sensations that years and years after the loss of a limb, and even for the rest of their lives, men occasionally endeavor to perform some act with the stump which they were accustomed to do with that part of their body which they lost. We don’t have to lose an arm or a leg to know something of this odd delusion, for we all have felt the stinging sensation of a foot being asleep when the ischiatic nerve has been pressed upon, and much of that peculiar pain called tic doloureux is due to the trunk of some nerve being dis- eased, and the pain is referred to all the parts to which its filaments are dis- tributed. “All men and animals that are well fed and sheltered have the same per- fect, delicate, nervous organization, and the nervous force is merely correl- ative with the forces engaged in the nutrition of the body. We find light and heat necessary to the production of those materials from which the nerv- ous system is formed. These are cor- relative with the chemical forces brought into action in forming the com- pounds of our food, such as sugar, starch and protein. When we do not properly assimilate our food and from the effects of sudden shoe then w pass into that condition known as ner ous prostration, and the prostration is complete, indeed; then we have sundry morbid conditions known hydropho- bia, tetanus, epilepsy and which seem to be utterly beyond the power of men having the strongest wills to overcome or suppress. “While, therefore, we know all x the nerves, delicate and complex machinery is, yet it is equally true that we do not know anything yet of the will that animates them. We can not get hold of it to analyze it, and the more we attempt to define it, to locate it, the more insignificant to us the sum of all our understanding of ourselves.” —Was hington Star. to THE FATHER OF SNAKES. A Den of Reptiles and aa Indian Tradition Concerning It. who has lived on the or inthe mountains dur- t twenty-five years, will re- call the fact that at certain seasons thousands of rattlesnakes and other species of serpents may be found in the vicinity of fhe stone ledges bordering the creeks and rivers of the region re- ferred to. It will also be remembered that by some peculiar instinct these reptiles congregate early in the fall around the crevices in the rocks, soon to hibernate in immense, tangled masses under the ground. Although the little prairie-rattlesnake is very venomous, can rarely be tamed, is always mean, vindictive and ready to spring at a real or supposed enemy, I} have yet to learn of a death from its bite, if medical treatment were applied promptly. Whisky is the antidote, although it should not be termed an antidote in the strictest acceptance of the term, for it is nature, after all, that goes to work in its endeavor to elim-| inate the virulent poison from the sys- tem, which she would accomplish un- aided, if the physical constitution of the individual affected could always} stand the violent shock. Whi is | merely a powerful stimulant, keeping up the vitality, until nature herself throws off the poison. In February, 1869, during G Sheri- dan’s “‘winter campaign” a, the; allied Indian tribes of the plains, Gen. Custer’s command, consisting of his/ own famous regiment, the Seventh 7 , and a large portion of the teenth Kansas volant one at Plains” ing the ps | manufacturing belts out of the ski | been | bottom. | “den” ean ann nent re cn camped on the Wichita, in the Indian territory. Half starved, their horses without forage, the troops were com- pelled to remain there, waiting for ra- tions of corn and food, the arrival of which was daily expected and a : lly looked for. While necessarily in their foreed camp, the enlisted men, | true to their ever inquisitive and roam- | ing nature, went on little expeditions of discovery in every direction, within | a radius of a few miles of their camp. Sometimes they made remarkable finds.” One of the most interesting of these was an immense den of rattle- snakes, where they had hibernated in almost uncountable numbers. The re- sult was that nearly every one of the} Kansas boys—the regulars did not seem | j to fancy them—set themstives to work as of | the mottled sery we around their “cowboy” fi The ‘den which or nts, & h, of course, covered by a Kansas youth, reared on the broad prairies of the state, wasa in the indurated rock, about Ive feet in length and a foot wide.

To reach the den one had to climb down the almost perpendicular side of the ledge or wall of the upper mountain, a very dangerous passage. The den had evidently been a hibernating place of snakes for ages, if the smoothly-worn rock over which they were obliged to travel to reach their holes was any indi- eation, for it was polished like a mir- ror, the result of centuries of their migrations; besides, the Kiowas have a very ancient tradition concerning the spot. The number of snakes killed and cap- tured by the soldiers wa They would have filled a mule army wagon without any exaggeration. They were very large, too, many of them measuring eight feet from head to tail, not counting the rattles. Among the traditions of the Kiowas, that of this snake den is the oldest. It has been handed down orally from their earliest existence. A great many years ago, when the earth was young, and no white man had ever yet been seen by the red man of the prai- ries, there was an old Arapahoe chief, who was so aged that he knew he was drawing near to his end. One morning he wandered away from the camp and the lodges of the tribe, in the hope of finding some place where he might lie down resignedly and pass over to the happy hunting grounds calmly and un- disturbed. He believed the top of the bluff, out of sight of all his people, to be the most suitable place, so there he dragged his weary and nearly paralyzed legs. When he arrived at the mouth of the den he entered it and was never seen again by mortal eye in his normal shape, but, transformed into a snake, he became the father of all the snakes on the plain detroit the y slouch re w ats, was dis- had western | eat crack twe who as marvelous. ree Press.
