ARTIFICIAL CHILD-INCUBATION,

Artificial child-incubation is practiced in

nursing bottle and a soft wooden bed placed
in box covered with glass slide and kept
at temperature of SO degrees Fahrenheit in

on for period of six months, .only two died.
Ii is said that six months of artificial incuba-
ton developed them as fully as three years o.
ordinary life would have done.
