A Baby Incubator.

THE LATEST AMERICAN INNO-

VATiON.

From earliest titles men learnsd in medicine and the kindred sciences have been trying to devißß means for saving the lives of prercatare and weakly born babies, An old custom wae to wrap them in sheepskin with the wool adhering. The peasants of Silesia and Westphalia placed them in a jar of feathers. Sixty years ago Dr Crede, t>l the Ouivpraity of Leipzig, constructed a box with double metallic side?, The space between these walls was filled with hot water so as to maintain the desired temperature within the max. The infant, covered with blankets and resting in a basket or cradle, was placed inside. Finally there was given to the world the incubator for hatching chickens. From thia cime the baby incubator at the i^an-Ameri can Exposition. The honour of the Invention Mte to Dr Martin A Coney, of Berlin, Germany, He is assisted in his work(«aysa London correspondent) by a part of the medical faculty of the noted Berlin institote. The trained nurses (and there 50 of them) hail from this institute. They are dressed in the dainty costume worn in the German Institution.

Th© babiea come uatially to the incu bators in » comatose condition. By drastic measures vitality ia brought back, An ooon »s received the frail btby is given a bath in water and mus tard. Then two drops of brandy are pfucod in its mouth, which acts as * etiraalant. Its body is rubbed with alcohol, and into the incubator it goes. Four days it is kept at » temperature of 96 degrees, being removed regularly day and night every 1£ hoar to bo fed 13 grams of nourishment with a nasal spoon, Ita foo I consists of milk sap plied by hejkithy wetnursee. The child being too weak to have a deeiro for food, the milk in placed in a small glass which is immersed in a Urge glass con taining vrtrna water. This keeps the milk at the proper temperature. The spoon sb also heated to the same tempera tare, and the b«bv is fed a drop of milk at a time through the nose, inhaling the food as it breathes, The nasal spoon and the method of naaul feeding are new to Amorica s a revelation. The baby ia out of danger when it has the strength to take at least 30 grama or loz of nourishment at a single feeding. When it becomes itrong eaoagth to swallow it is fed by means of a tete rallp, a device where by nature's food is gravitated to the child's mouth from the nurse's breast. Every baby ia weighed before and after each feeding to ascertain the amount of nourish ment taken. A complete record is kept of thiPj as is of other details of the infant. The record and number of each baby are in. full view of the incu bator to which ife belongs. The Incu bators look much like show cases. They are raised from the floor by steel rods to a convenient height for the observer. The baby Hea on a soft padded bed of woven wire, and his chamber is in full view of the specta- '• tors. The air in the incubators is kept at a uniform temperature by means of an automatic contrivance, and fresh air Is introdaced through a large pipe. The air ia first purified by passing through an antiseptic fluid, and then through cotton, and warmed before it is permitted to pass into the infante apartment, The atmosphere ia kept; humid by a pan of water which ia placed under its little bsd. The babies , are dressed like other babies, except J that their teet are wrapped in swadd-j ling cloths?, German fiahion. The boys and girls are distinguished by rib bone, a French custom, the boys wear log blue and the girls pink. After a child's time in tbo incubator has ex pired it ia kept in the nursery under observation for five weeks, during which time it h taught to take cows' sterilised nuilk The babies are kept in a perfectely hygienic condition, and are given more attention than they would receive from their mothers. Statistics show that of premature, or weakly born infants only 25 per cent livej by means of the incubator 85 per cent are saved.

Another German Military Scandal.

The sentence of death passed by the Military Court of Appeal at Gumbinner on Sergeant Merten for tbe mnrde? of Captain yon Kroßigk haa caused a pro found sensation throughout Germany, and the newspapers of all parties unanimously voice public opinion in describing the verdict m unintelligible. The decision is discussed everywhere In Berlin, where it is unanimously condemned. At the first trial both of the accused were acquitted, ao no substantial proof of their gailfc was forthcoming. Notwithstanding this acqoittal, they were detained as prisoners by the military authorities, who offered a sum or £50 for further evidence. It should ba noted that Captain yon Kroslgk who was known even outside military -circles for his brutality and severity ; to his men, w s shot in a riding school, and died Immediately. The Court of Appeal was composed of five officers and two special Military Jwdges, and atwo»thirds majority was neeeaaary for conviction. NO SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE was adduced at the proceeding which were this lime opened to the public. A characteristic feature was the difficulty of eliciting replies from the Dragoons, whose replies were meagre, and given with reluc* tance The chief evidence against Marten was his inability to prove an alibi ior the space of i jlx minutes on the fatal afternoon. Tha Pablio Prosecutor, indeed, demanded twelve and a half years' penal servitude for manslaughter against Marten on the ground that ha acbed without premedit*' don and under the influence of dr'nk, and four and a half yee.is' panal servitude against Hicke! as abettor. The Court, however, condemns Marten to death expressly for a premeditated murder and mutiny, while considering that two per' sons were concerned acquits Hickei. All the newspapers point out the

DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THB VKRDICT and the Prosecutor's curious demand for a verdict of manslaughter, and the fact that all the three civil lawyers occupied with the case expre^td the opinion that the murder was not premeditated, where as the Military Judges baae their verdict on the contraiy opinion. It is generally accepted that the Public Prosecutor urged manslaughter, being unwilling in the absence of all positive evidence to demand death. The verdict therefore caused the great sarpuse. Marten immediately demanded a revision, whi h, however, ia only ptrmiasible if the verdict in based on Bonce breach of law. In civU la** there jd no Court of Appeal in criminal cases, bub only revision, whereaa in the new

mllltary code there are two Courts open after the first verdict-namely the Court of Appeal, and, finally, the Rt:visional Goon, The prets condemns the system whioh, instead of tending ta modify, serves, aa in the present instance, to increase ihe severity of the original ver dict. It ia expected that, in deference to public <w!nioa, a revision will be

Hardly a Spark of Life Left.

MORE GONYIW_ TESTIMONY. Ihe Case of Mrs. C. M, PEARCE. (By a Local Reparter.) In consequence of information re ceived, a reporter was despatched to No. 12 Avon-street, Christ-church, where Mrs. Catherine Mary Pearce resides. Spon taneous assent was given to the writer's application to make a report, which is given below for public perusal. "No," said Mrs. Pearce, "I have not the slightest objection to giving other sufferers £he cue to the removal of their troubles. There are, I daresay, a great many people who do not know the right way to turn when beset by physical affliction, so in order to assist them in that direction I will give you every de :-ail concerning my wonderful recovery from a serious complaint."

" What was your particular trouble, Mrs. Pearce?"

" I will start right from the beginning, and then you will see how one ailment leads to another. I was in a dilapi dated state of health some time ago, and my energy was dying away fast. A feeling of restlessness and discontent took away all pleasure in life. There was a nasty taste in my mouth every morning, and I took a dislike to every thing in the way of eatables, although I had to take a little food sometimes co keep myself going through the day's duties. Every morsel of food which passed my lips lay undigested in my stomach, where very distressing pains were situated. All day long I was drowsy and disinclined to do anything in the house, and I gradually got bo weak that my limbs fairly ached again. I was tormented to death with awful sick head-aches, which were sometimes so severe that my eyes burned and felt swollen. When. I fell asleep I ex perienced unpleasant dreams, and awoke feeling just as tired and unrefreshed as when I went to bed. You oan easily understand that with these afflictions 4 altered greatly in appearance, my face having become pale and wan, and my body was emaciated beyond conception." " Was your nervous system affected by your debilitated condition?" " That is just the important part that lam coming to. les. My nerves were greatly unstrung and shattered by my complaint, whioh ultimateJy suc ceeded in making me a victim to neur algia. Sharp, darting pains attacked my face and travelled round my neck and head. I could not think of trying to work when these formidable par oxysms of agony were worrying the life out of me. No. I could only sit down and give way in helpless anguish and grief. It is quite bad enough when such shocking torture affects a person otherwise strong, but it is an awful calamity to befall a person with a wrecked constitution like mine was. The ight diet I "used to take was now denied me, fdr my jaws felfc too stiff and pain ful to move them."

"Your rest was greatly interfered with, no doubt." •

" I had no rest night or day. The only thing I could do was to toss and turn about in bed till morning, and then 30 through another day of misery and torture. For five weeks I was awake every night, with the exception of one, when I seemed to collapse entirely and fell into a heavy slumber. I was worn out and exhausted, and there was hardly a spark of life left in me. All the medicines I took had not the slightest beneficial effect. It would have been far better if I had only drank water, as I then would have saved myself the unpleasantness arising from the ill-tast ing trash. The neuralgia troubles last ed close on eighteen months, and by then I gave up hope of being cured. But I read about a neuralgic patient whose complaint was mastered by Cle ments Tome, so I tried it myself and soon felt my pains were easing off by degrees, the maddening jerking agonies subdued, and I felt my nervous sys tem was being recuperated. Then the neuralgia was beaten and has not re appeared. Several more bottles of Cle ments Tonic cured my other ailments, and gave me perfect health. I ate and slept splendidly. After each dose of Clements Tonic I felt soothed and invigorated, and if I know of anybody being sick I always recommend Clements Tonic as a medicine to be relied upon." " This interview will appear in the papers." " I hope so. However, you can pub lish these remarks in any way."
