MACHINE FOR BRooDING Babe

MACHINE FOR BROODING BABIES
DR.. FARMER, an ingenious French ply
sician, is entitled to distinction as a man of
inventive genius for the discovery of pro-
cess whereby children may be brooded
something on the principle of incubating
chickens by a mechanical appliance. The
appliances are described las large boxes of
wood, with double walls, resting on ped
eStal divided into two compartments, the
lower containing warm water, the upper
the bed of the infant. The upper cOmpart-
ment is covered by two plates of glass
which are movable, through which may be
seen the condition of the infant and the
temperature indicated by thermometer
placed within. A sufficient number of
openings are made to give communication
with the external air, which enters from
below, passes over the warm water heating
surface, and then into the upper compart-
ment, from which it escapes. The infant
is thus placed i'll warm-air bath, the tenn
perature of which is maintained constantly
at 30 centigrade, or SIS , Fahrenheit The
greatest difficulty is to maintain this con-
slant temperature. The heat is supplied by
special lamp. When this invention was
first announced it was regarded as
a French joke, but the inventor would not
have it whistled do an the wind i'll that
way. and proceeded to put it in practice in
the Maternity hospital OF Paris, with the
following result reported by the hospital
authorities: From Nov, ISL, to July, 1888,
there We're treated by this method Isl in
fants, OF whom 81 had been prematurely
born and the others very feeble. A healthy
infant born at full tiue weighs about $500
grams. These infants which at birth weigh
less than 3.000 grams are considered as very
feeble: tha,t is, it Is more probable that they
will tie than that they viii live Statistics
show for such infants il mortality of about
G5 per cent. With the couveuse, out of the
ninety two infInts prematurely born thirty
one died ana siXty-one lived. The time the
infant is kept i'll the boxes varies from one
day 10 six WEEKS, according to its condition. :"
It will be seen by these statistics that it is
no joke, but a living, life-saving reality.

CAMP HUBBARD, Faribault, June 3D.
This morning the reveille sounded at 5:15.
There were no absent men and the guard
house had not been used. The dampness
of the night had much to do with keeping
the boys III. But two men answered the
sick call and those were slight cases of
sickness. Company drill at $50 was well
responded to. The feature of the occasion
was the gallop drill of the battery, which
drew all the attention, even to that of the
companies. Maj. Smith kept the battery
in the field for some time after the COM
panies had returned to their quarters.
Battalion drill gave the companies work
from $50 to 1890. The movements exc
cuted were successful formations.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon detail
from Companies A, B, and l went out to
the rifle range about three-Quarters Of a
mile south Of the camp. The range has at
present but four 100 yard targets; the others
will be placed tomorrow. Considerable in
terest is being taken by the members of the
regiment in this target practice, and each is
anxious to qualify as sharp shooter or
even marksman. The scores, possible 25,
at 100 yards are as follows:

FIJI as such an affair could possibly be. The

ST. PAUL GAVE THEM POINTERS.

1t deyolved upon st. Paul to enlighten
the interstate commerce committee on the
transportation question from the popular
standpoint in the Northwest. Minneapolis
gave the committee but contracted idea
of the monopoly side of the question at is
sue, as none but mill men, manufacturers
and elevator men were called. OF course,
they were of the favored few and found no
fault with the transportation business as it
is carried on. 1t was hardly expected that
they would. But when merchants,
and others came to be heard here, they gave
expression to popular sentiment, the view OF
the many as against the few. While there
was considerable unanimity as to the griev-
ances, there was WIDE diversity of opinion
as to the remedy that should be applied.
Some expressed themselves as heartily in
favor of railway commits siOns, others as
vigorously against them. 1t was admitted
that the location of st. Paul on the great
waterway to tide water at the gulf exercised
a healthful restraining influence on rail-
ways greatly to our benefit and to the
advantage of tributary trade centers
and territory. Capt. BLAKELEY dwelt
at length with much force and effect on this
point, and he is recognized authority on
the subject. One cause of complaint urged
was the cheap through rate from Chicago to
extreme points i'll the West. having
the effect to discriminate against
st. Paul in the matter of eX-
tending its trade into the territory natur-
ally tributary to it. This subject has been
under discussion before, and it is a seri
Gus problem for solution. Strong ground
was pretty generally taken by the gentle
men against pooling as tending to high
rates of transportation, for the reason that
it destroys competition. the best protection,
if it could be prevented, that we could have
against excessive tariff. Some quite origi-
nal suggestions were submitted on these
subjects, and some good may come Of the
visit of the committee to ST Paul

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.

The dairymen'S convention came to prac-
teal consideration of the great industry
on yesterday, and devoted the day to a most
interesting and instructive discussion of the
practical methods applied in butter making.
These proceedings are not only of inestima-
bic benefit to those engaged actively in the
business, but to every housewife either in
the city or in the country, who can afford
to keep a cow and make butter for the fam
lily table. Mr.. CURTIss' calculation of
the simpler processes of the business,
for instance, is full of practical
suggestion. 1t is clear exposition of the
methods that may be applied by the mer-
est tyrO in butfer-making. But it remained
for Treasurer ToTTEN of the New York
Merchants exchange to strike the keynote
of the diversified farming campaign now in
introduction he claimed to be big farmer
in New York, cultlyating fourteen acres.
The time may come when that will be
regarded as big farm in the Northwest,
but the widest flight of the magma
ton could hardly compass the idea.
One serious drawback to the development
of the Northwest in the direction of its
destiny as the home of the free millions OF
this great continent. is the misunderstanding
system. which is all well enough for the
earlier stages of territorial development,
but it is out of harmony with progressive
state 1t is not a condition which devel-
ops cities and centers of population, or di-
versihed industries, or trade cente. s. The
bonanza farmer can buy machinery and
supplies for his farm and secure
as cheap, If not cheaper, rates
of transportation, as the local
merchant and for that reason Stagnation
seizes on the towns and they cannot thrive.
1t is the homestead plan that makes an
agricultural people prosperous. Bonanza
farming in principle, if not; in practice,
tends TO develop system of serfdom out of
all harmony with our free institutions and
the highest functions and feelings of citi-
Zenship, and we should seek to outgrow it
as fast as possible i'll this new empire of the
Northwest. The almost illimitable acreage
of prairie in the Northwest should be cut
I'D into homesteads, and eventually will be.
Then will it attain its highest development
Diversified industries, among them stock
raising and dairying en- small scale, will
then thrive and cities and towns will spring
UP and this will prove to be the paradise of
a pastoral people.

THE cholera is spreading in Spain with
reckless abandon. The superstitious people
are CROPPING about in darkness and despair
ard attributing their ailment to providential
dispensation rather than to their own lack of
sanitation. If they would wash and clean up
and admit the physicians, their condition
would be UNNECESSARILY bettered Sanitation
is the only thing that will tend to stay the
progress of this plague. Our sanitation is a
better preventive than it is cure. This is
q suggestion for the benefit of st. Paul, whose
streets and allies should be kept in the best
OF order to stand off and not invite the Asiatic
visitor. Our excellent health organization
should have the help of every citizen in the
great work of cleansing and purifying the
city.

surprised to see how many people there are
with schemes for solving the whole difficult
problem OF railway legislation. II we
were to embody them all in one bill it
would be queer medley"
Later in the afternoon Senator Cuilom
was seen by GLOBE reporter. He is the
chairman Of the committee and it is curious
to see the great patience with which he
listens to the testimony and, the eagerness
with which he strives to dry out every
body's opinions on the subjects, although it
must be very old story to him by this
time. Senator Cullom has been identified
with the history of Western railroad legis-
lation almost from the beginning. He was
the speaker Of the Illinois house of repre-
sentatives when the railway law of that
state was passed. He was the governor Of
Illinois who appointed the railroad COM
missioners OF that state, and in the senate
was the author Of the famous Cullom bill
which was passed but rather than which
the house preferred the Reagan bill. In
answer to a question, Senator Cullom
stated that it was his confident hope that
both houses would be able to agree on some
good railroad bill at the next session.
1t would be impossible, he thought to for
mulate and enforce set of rigid laws for
the regulation of railroads in the country.
The bill which congress would pass would
undoubtedly provide for a commission with
discretionary powers. Although this was
the essential feature of the Cullom bill, he
had no interest in that measure as against
any other. The people were demanding
some sort Of legislation and they were en-
titled to the most efficient railroad law con-
gress could frame.
After the meeting of the committee yes
terday, Senator Platt went to call ON Gen.
Terry at Fort Smelling, and Senators Cul-
lom and Harris went to ride with Gen.
Becker and J. w. McClung. The party
left last night for Chicago. Senator Harris
will go to Washington. 1t appears that he
shares in the general opinion that there is
to be a general overturning in the offices
about July 1. and ne wants to put in word
for his Tennessee constituents. Senator
Plat will go to his home in Connecticut,
and Senator Cullom to his at Springfield,

MACKIN ought to be driven out of the
but their own. The Herald reads the pop
Glar verdict at the last election well, and it
would have the party understand the depth
of its significance. Through the DONNA
ton of MCDONALD and MACKIN and their
strikers HARRIsON's magnificent majority
of over 10000 of two years ago was re-
duced to paltry 800, in round figures
1t was not owing to Mayor HAIR
RIsoN's course, for he has been
one of the best mayors Chicago
ever had. He is public-spirited citizen,
fine executive officer, and under his admin
istration the great city by the lake has
gone grandly on to fulfill its destiny as the
commercial center of this country. But
undue license was given the MoDoNALDs
and the MACKINs until the public rose up
on last election day and smote them with
the heavy hand of popular condemnation.
Mayor HARRISON reads the handwriting on
the walls of the city and has come frankly
to the 'front.' with the declaration that he
will give Chicago an administration such
as is demanded by the popular voice. And
he will have an able ally in the Herald.
He should join hands with this paper and
the better element of his party, and rule
the MCDoNALDs, the MACKINs and the
VAN PELTs out of the party, or at least
force them back into the ranks. The
mayors order for closing gambling houses
and for the resignation in writing of all
the officials who are subject to the execu-
tive order are steps in the right direction.
He has the nerve and the ability to give
Chicago such an administration as will
bring back his old majority and fully re-
store the waning confidence of the people of
Chicago in him. The first step to be taken
by HARRISON and the Herald now Is to re-
pudiate the self-constituted ring-leaders and
ballOt-boX suffers, and to drive them to the
cover of the sheltering walls of the peni-
Tertiary if they stand on the order Of their
going.

THE MARKETS,

Notwithstanding all the efforts of the bears,
the bulls had the best of it in stocks yester-
day, and prices were generally little higher.
There was heavy break in Pacific Mail, and
reports of various misfortunes and disasters
were circulated to cause and increase the
break. st. Paul was the strongest stock on
the list all day, and showed gain of q per
cent. The Northwestern was up 7a. The
swallowing up of the st. Paul & Manitoba by
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road was
authoritatvely denied. Wheat was slightly
lower at Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis,
and the markets dull.
