IMPORTED SKELETONS
BRinSil CANNOT BE BOUGHT There is one thing you canndt buy as a British'-made article. Skeletons! Pei'haps you may wonder who would want such a thing. Every medical ■student requires one for the purpose of study, and there is a brisk demand for them — so brisk that most students can alford to buy only half a skeleton, a right hand or a left h'and side. All come from foreign countries, and the reason for this isj that their laws are not quite so strict as those of Great Bfitain, where when a man dies he must be buried and once he is under the ground he has to etay there! Several firms in London and other university towns import skeletons, and they do a big business. The average price of half a skeleton is £5 or so, but a whole one costs more thari twice as much.
