PITT>BURa DISPATCH: A novelty
IN the Matching OF eggs has ap-
peared in the shspe OF an cleo
trio incubator. The special feature
Of this machine is that the heat Of
the egg drawer is automatically rcgu-
lated to the lftieth part Of a degree
Fahrenheit. 1t consists OF a tank
Incubator, heated by radiation from
the bottom of a water tank, which Is
constructed on the multitubular sys-
tenn. When the egg drawer reaches
The temperature OF 104 degrees
Fahrenheit an electro thermostat
connects up O dry battery with an
electromagnetic, which a~ctuates a
hamper, allowing the heat to escape
though the open air instead Of pass
Ing through the flues of tho water
tank. This entirely automatic de-
vice is said to effect a saving Of 80
per cent In the fuel used for heating.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
Remarkable Cases of Its Occurrence In an6
Eject on Human Bodies.

Remarkable Cases of Its Occurrence In and
Effect on Human Bodies.
Medical literature of this country as
we'll az that of England and continental
Europe relates many remarkable In
stances Of the spontaneous combustion
Of the human body. In all such cases,
which are the more interesting on ac-
count Of their comparative rarity, the
victim has been aperson addicted to the
immoderate use of spirituous liquors,
either as beverage or in the form OF a
bath. Little by little all the water and
other liquids Of tho body are replaced by
alcohol, and then all that is necessary
to cause catastrophe is to find some
means of applying fame to the spurious
gases which are escaping from every
pore. Occasionally the breath Of the
poor victim is fired while lighting q
nipe or a cigar, or it may be that
Same comes in contact with and lights
the alcoholic yapors which are escaping
from some other portion OF the body.
When once the fire is applied, a blush
fame extends very rapidly to all parts
81 the body. leaving 1t a shapeless mass
Of charred flesh and calcined bones. In
many instances attempts have been
made to extinguish the flames with wa
ten, but always without success. When
the affected parts of the victim are
touched, fatty matter attaches itself to
the finger, still continuing to burn and
giving off a very disagreeable odor,
something similar to that which arises
from burning mixture of horn, hair
and wool
During all this time thick black
smoke arises from the body and attaches
itself to the surface of all objects with
which it comes in contact, the 'set-
things from it being in the form Of u
sweat, unctuous to the touch and of an
unbearable fetor. In the majority Of
such cases combustion is only arrested
when the flesh has been reduced to
cracklings and the bone to powder.
Vincent, in his "Curiosities Respecting
Man" says, Commonly the feet and
portion Of tho head are not burned, but
usually when the combustion is finished
it is difficult to believe that the inciner-
ated mass is all that is left of a human
body. "-St. Louis Republic.

The statement HAT o, The four thou.

The statement that OF the four thou

about fifteen hundred are Hungarians,
and eighteen hundred more are of other
Municipalities, is food for thought That
in large manufacturing establishment
such as the Pullman's less than one fourth
of the men employed are natives of this
country, shows that the immigration bus
mess has been overdone, and it is time
that the brakes were put on. The hun
dreds OF thousands of ignorant foreigners
dumped Oh our shores every year, many
of them of the nihilistic and criminal class.
are supplying the material for all kinds OF
social outbreaks.
OF the fellows who burned up railroad

National troops, niue-tenths of them wer'
foreigners who have 10 knowledge of our
Institutions and who care nothing for law,
human or divine.
We used TO speak of Our country us the

now seem to be the people who were born
in this country, who are at the mercy
