During the storm of Mon

Tightening flashes were 80 frequent and SO

that several OF the tightening rods in the

An INCUBATOR FOR INFANTs.-M
Tarnier, the surgeon of the Matern-
ity Hospital in Paris, struck by the
great mortality among infants pre-
maturely born. and those which are
sickly after birth, has conceived the
ingenious idea, says the London Lam
Get, OF constructing box, which is
almost exactly similar to the incuba-
tors used for poultry. The box is
divided into two compartments the
lower one being used as reservoir
for hot water, while the infant is
placed in the upper one. which is
we'll stuffed at the side and fitted
with asliding glass cover. the tenn
perature is maintained at sc degrees
Fahrenheit, and Nj. Tarnier has
found that by keeping infants in the
incubator from a period varying from
two days to six weeks, their vitality
is enormously improved. He has
made experiments upon five six
months children, six seven months,
and thirteen eight months children,
and he has lost only two of them,
whereas, according to his statement,
three fourths of them would have
died but for this advantageous aid to
vitality.

almost to Il certainty. and left with

TO capture the James boys He had
not long to wait. Now, Mr. Jones is
a man who. from his commanding
presence and the peculiar color of his
clothes. could scarcely fail to be rec
ognized on a description. Presently
he doomed up around the corner, with
his valise i'll one hand and his UNI
brella in the other. With cautious
hist to his associates, Detective
Bligh moved ON him with SO much
skill and caution that he had no
time to draw his umbrella or make
the least resistance. There was an
exclamation. Surrender; no use kick
ing; you're my prisoner on the one
hand. and The You say on the
other, and it was all over. The
brawny hand of the detective held
the collar of the stage robber in a
grasp of steel, and the thing was
done.
In vain might Mr.. Jones protest
his high standing at the st. Louis
bar Bligh was too old detective to
be either deceived by highly respect
| able appearances or by plausible ex-
plantations He Immediately tele
graphed the good news to st. Louis
the arrest of the suspected stage
robber, who gave his name as Z. n.
Jones and claimed to be a St. Louis
attorney.
The description left no doubt
in the minds of the st. Louis officials
as to the identity of the desperate
captured by Detective Bligh. There
was a sound of hilarity around the
Four Courts building. and the mi
tiated would every now and then so
and stick their heads under the tables
and explode with great violence.

A ST. LOUIS LAWYER MISTAKEN FOR A
CALIFORNIA STAGE ROBBER,

The st. Louis Republican of the
10th instant, publishes the return
there Of Presley n. Jones. an attor-
ney, and the unpleasant experience
he had in this city with Detective
Bligh. Jones was an attorney of
Charles Dorsey, one Of the Califor-
MIA stage robbers, an account of whose
crime was published in the columns
several days ago, and visited this city
few days after the return of the Of
ticer in the interest of his client.
After recountlng the facts in the
California robbery the Republican
says:
In the meantime. it seems that it
occurred to Mr.. Collins. who knew
nothing of the movements Of the de-
tectives. or who possibly may have
been kept fully Informed of them.
that he had interests in Louisville
which needed looking after. This is
inferred from the fact that last week
