WIND-PROOF NOSE.

At the German Surgical Congress at Berlin last month, Professor Koenig, of Marburg, described his invention- for manufacturing • a " wind-proof'' nose. He explained that all artificial - noses hitherto devised were of so frail construction that a sudden gust of wind might at any time wrench them from their places. Professor Koenig's patent nose consists of a framework duplicating different parts of the real organ and built/out of the surface of the breastbone and the adjacent ribs.
