FIFTY BABIES HATCHED OUT.
Remarkable Work of the woman's Hospi-
tai Incubator.

The New York doctors who are making
a splurge over the fact that baby boy
WIS Matched out in one of the incubators
at the Charity hospital, on BIackwelI's is
land are behind the times. Their latest
baby Matching is absolutely triffling com.
pared with the record made at the Wo-
man 5 hospital in Philadelphia, says the
Record. That institution, without any
blowing of trumpets, has within a year
Matched out fifty little boys and girS-all
of them living and Lively Including a
six months child. which latter feat is
considered a marvellous ore by the best
trained scientific minds or the age 1t
has been a popular belief among medical
men that a six months cannot live
There is no mistake at all about the Wo-
mans hospital phenomenon, for the hos
pital physicians are certain as to the time
and the result of the experiment.
The incubators, 70 there are two of
them, were imported direct from Paris
about three years ago, and since that time
not one of the little oncs that have been
placed inside them has died. In fact, ac-
cording to the hospital authorities, who
have kept special records of these babies,
all of them are thriving in remarkable
manner and all are unusually healthy and
free from disease.
Some of the cases which the hospital has
dealt with recently are almost as miracu-
lOus as the one mentioned, About two
weeks ago policeman, while travelling an
alley back of Thompson street, saw an old
tin Stop bucket on top of garbage box.
He paid no attention to the bucket until
an excited Italian came up and told
him there was baby in 1t. 1t was
raining heavily at the time, and had been
doing so all night, and, sure enough, in
side the bucket was a newly born black
baby.
An old piece of carpet in which it was
wrapped, was soaked with the cold rain,
and so far as the policeman could tell the
mite of humanity had returned TO clay.
The officer knew his business, however,
and rushed off at once to the Woman's
hospital, where the inanlmate mite was
quickly placed in one of the incubators.
For twenty hours there were NJ signs of
life, and then a little finger was seen to
move. A few hours later it could move
an arm, an inside of two days the little
black rascal was kicking its heels, yelling,
blinking and creating as much disturbance
as any baby in the hospital. When seen
the little fellow WIS fat, happy and
contented. with all the outward owl
dences of IL determination to live to a ripe
old age.
Another fact which the hospital people
do not care to boast about is that the little
fellows are not kept in the incubators for a
month, as was the case with the boy
Matched out on Blackwell's island. In
many instances it has not been found
necessary to keep them inside the incuba-
tor for over a week. This is because the
machines have been carefully studied and
are understood by those who handle them.
According to the experts it is possibIs to
retard the development of baby seriously
if the temperature and humidity are not
just right.
