For several months past a peculiar
kind of warfare has been going on in
Brazil. There has been considerable
blowing about what was going to be
done but very little real fighting was
INDUCED in. Admirals Mello and
DaGama, the Rebel leaders, thought
through their agents. have claimed
that at the proper time they were
going to wipe the earth up with Presi-
dent Peixoto. Brazil's first president
is c0ol-headed individual and he
smiled at his enemies and made care
ful provisions against annihilatiOn.
The outcome Of the affair is that
President Peixoto assembled his naval
fleet at RIO Janeiro a few days ago
and gave notice that he would COM
mence real warfare within forty-eight
hours. Immediately the Rebels made
a proposition TO surrender on condition
that their lives be spared. Thus it is
with blowhards everywhere.

The Eastern Shore Insane Asylum
bill of Senator Hubner's passed the
Senate Monday by unanimous vote.
1t appropriates $4,000 for the pur-
chase of 500 acres of land on the
Eastern Shore and the erection Of
buildings thereon. The agitation of
this question was started by the MIS-
sENGER some four years ago through
talk with DIR. William l.. Robins,
of Worcester county, who was then
resident physician at one of the State
Insane Asylumns. DIR. Robins then
wrote several able arguments in favor
of an asylum for the Eastern Shore.
lie interested Senator Hubner in the
work and he has since been pushing
it forward. There is good reason to
believe the House will pass the bill
and the Governor will sign it. In that
case we urge Worcester as the place
for such an asylum and no better spot
for its location than ut Ocean City,
the reasons for which have already
been given in recent editorial in the
MESSENGER.

An Incubator Baby.

Tho successful raising Of Irema
turely born baby by an incubator is a
rare thing but it is now being tried
in New York and the physicians
declare will he successfully accomplish
ed.
\ wee bit of baby girl. weighing
less than two pounds and measuring
less than twelve inches from the tips
Of her little pink toes 10 the top other
doll-like head, is being nurtured in an
incubator in the home of Madison
avenue millionaire. The little ones
mother died in giving her premature
birth. If the baby, whose entrance
into the world was So sad. can, by the
artificial process. be kept alive until
she shall have reached the develop
ment when babies are supposed TO
begin their career in this world. and
then continue Ia live under natural
conditions, she will enjoy NIL that
wealth can give her.
The incubator in which the little
child rests is about 3 feet long and
- feet wide and high. The glass doors
in front are doubled, so that no steam
can form upon the glass and so pre-
vent the watchers from seeing all that
goes ON within. On all sides of the
incubator except the glass front there
are three walls. Between the outer
and the middle wall is space an
inch wide through which the hot air
circulates. Between the middle and
the inner wall is another space nm
inch wide. filled with water. The pur-
pose is to give the incubator a warn
and moist atmosphere.
On the lower part of the incubator.
Mt each end. there are two flat pipes
through which fresh air is drawn.
Before the air reaches the inside of
the incubator, however. it is prepared
for the tiny lungs of the delicate child
by passing all the way around the
hot-air passage. On the top there are
exhaust pipes for hot air and the
breathing air and openings through
which the temperature within can be
taken.
