THE NEW BLOUSE BODICE.
Plsids and checks of all sorts are
fashionable, especially for blousss. A
blouse OF blue and white plaid, with
blue velvet collar and cuffs. is particu-
larry stylish. Blouses are also made OF
black WOODEN lace, mounted on elk of
bright color. for afternoon indoor dress.

EXTRAORDINARY VITALITY.

The Longevity OF Toads and Frogs Said
to He Surprising.
The persistence of life in frogs is very
long. Spallanzani preserved some frogs
in q mass of snow for two years. They
became dry, stiff and almost friable,
but gradual heat brought them back
to life. Vulpian observed return OF
life in frogs and salamanders that had
been poisoned with curate and nico-
tine. In both cases the animals in
question had been for several days
in the condition of cadavers. Toads
have been shut up in blocks of plas-
ter, and then, having been deprived Of
all air except what may penetrate
through the material, and of all
sources of food, resuscitated several
years afterward. The question pre-
sents one of the most curious problems
that biological science has been called
on to explain. The longevity and vital
resistance Of toads are surprising. Be
sides the experiments we have cited,
nature sometimes presents some already
made, and vastly more astonishing.
Toads are said to have been found in
rocks Such cases are rare, but it
would be as unreasonable to doubt
them as to believe in some of the mirac-
ulous explanations that have been made
of the matter. The phenomenon is
marvellous, it is true, but it is sup
ported by evidence that we are not
able to contest; and skepticism, which is
incompatible with science, will have to

A number of guests at Charlie Ben

BABY-sAVlNG MACHINE.

A Cradle In . Miniature Hot Room That
Has Had Wonderful Results.
There is now being exhibited in
Lyons, France, queer machine that
has been adopted by the government in
the Public Maternity hospital in that
city. It is an apparatus for saving the
life of young babies, and the success il
has attained there recommends it
strongly here.
Over two hundred and fifty thousand
babies, aged less than one year each,
die annually in the United States, says
the New York Press.
The mortal enemy of babyhood is
cold. To that all children are more OF
less susceptible, and the irregularity of
temperature for these. little beings
while their organs are in process of for
nation or strengthening is the princi-
pal cause of the loss sustained by the
thousands of families in this country.
The machine is merely a large box
made from galvanized zinc and stand
ing on iron legs. The construction
provides for perfect ventilation and alb
solute purity of air. There are nc
angles or interstices inside where poi
sonous germs might find lodgment, and
thermometer is suspended inside the
glass front, so the actual temperature
is regular and always high, generally
one hundred and twenty degrees, or
even more for very young babies, and
SO graduated down, as the infant be-
comes older and stronger. The re-
quired degree is obtained automatical-
IL, and the heated air is created by gas,
petroleum or electricity.
The babies lie or sit in cradle, sus-
pended like hammock inside the ma
chine, and the most scrupulous atten-
tion is given the cradle and it's sur
roundings, SO it is as neat as anything
can be. DIR. Lion, the inventor, says
the oldest child treated by this ap-
paratus was six and one-half months,
and had been brought up from birth in
this way. The doctor claims the child
was nearly dead when born, and had it
not been for this treatment it would
not have survived at all.
The appearance of the babies is said
to be exceedingly interesting and
charming. They look so perfectly fresh
and rosy and seem to enjoy thoroughly
the warm climate il which they find
themselves.
DIR. Lion claims that during the
three years he has been perfecting this
machine he has saved three hundred
babies that would otherwise have died,
and this is eighty per cent. of the entire
number brought to him. He believes
that had these infants been left to the
ordinary treatment, not one would have
survived.
