sonous germs might find 1odgment, and thermometer is suspended inside tEie 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- qnired degree is obtained automatical- ly, and the heated air is created by gas. petroleum or electricity.

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 in which they find themselves.
 Dr. 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.

get all the water he bought and as much more as he wanted.
 The temptation to get something for nothing has induced many farmers to induct forty inches of water through a fifteen inch ditch. A natural result was that so much of the water as could not be retained by capillary attraction would run over the side and flood g regularly laid out highway the same as an irriga ble field. The defense contended that to succumb to the temptation to get all the water in sight was as natural as it is for hungry man to eat. A hungry man by reason of his hunger sometimes eats more than his stomach will retain. Most of the memb bers of tho jury had at some time or other been engaged in irrigation themselves and understood human frailties on the sub ject of water.
 Judge Buck appeared for the defen- dants. At the close of a very ex- haustive direct examination of one of them in which he had not only asked suggestive questions but had really suggested most of the answers, he turned him over to District Attorney Millay saying "Do you wish to cross examine the witness?" Replied MT. MiIlay: "I don't know, judge, whether to cross-examine him or you; you've done most of the talking"

BABY-SAViNG MACHINE.

A Cradle In Miniature Hot Room That
 Has Had Wonderful Results.
 There is now being exhibited in Lyons, France, a 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 it 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 or 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 zine and stand ing on iron legs. The construction provides for perfect ventilation and ab- solute purity of air. There are no angles or interstices inside where poi

TOO MUCH WATER.
Three Defendants Charged
 With Flooding the Road,
Successfully Plead the Habits of
 With Regard to irrigation.

The whole afternoon in Justice Kin caid's court was absorbed yesterday in the trial of Hugh Gould, John Lamisou and Ed De Smet for flooding the road in the course of irrigation. The defend ants are neighborlng farmers living east of the city. The offense was committed last Sunday and it is said that the road in the vicinity of their operations was so thoroughly irrigated that anything could have been produced on it from an alfalfa crop to blasphemous profan- ity by persons who had to wade or drive through it. The defendants were acquitted by 8 jury. An acquIttal in this class of cases is an unusual thing since saturated highway is regarded as strong prima. .facie evi. dence as difficult to get over by the defense in lawsuit as it is by the public in the course of travel. In this case though the defendants came out all right lin the wash" for there was a serious complication. There were in the first place three defendants tried on one complaint. The flooding which had certainly occurred, had taken place from one or two or three of three dItches so that at the conclusion of the evidence and the arguments the jury was in that frame of mind which enables it to entertain a reasonable doubt as to the guilt of any particular member of the trio though it may have felt reasonable assurance of the guilt of some one or two or all of them.
 Then again the defense laid great stress on the subject of gopher holes so it may be said to have crawled into a hole and success fully dragged the hole in after it. The gopher has way of cutting ditch in his meander- ings and coming to the surface at point anywhere from ten to 300 feet. distant. The walls of gopher's route are as smooth as the inside of an iron pipe and the water has 8 way of following it with vigor and rapiditysand whereyerIthe hole comes out the water comes out unless the elnergence of the hole is above the level of the water. In that event the water would disdain to fol- low the wanderings of the gopher; in fact it could not do so without gross violation of physical law which has never been amended or repealed. In / this case the defendants claim that the flooded road is below the top of the water level.
 That allegation was naturally ad- mitted. The complaint itself tended to establish the theory and the con- dition of the road last Sunday sup ported it. The gopher holes were hypothetical but they might have been real and no jury would convict de- fendant of having permitted water to overflow the bank of ditch when it was possible that the overflow might have taken place from the bottom.
 There was also another defense which involved an entirely different theory. That was that heretofore ranchmen have had difficulty in getting enough water to fill thelr ditches which were designed to carry given number of inches. This year though the canal companies have been phenomenaly liberal. Every man has been able to

company and overhauIed Speeros boa
 as 1t was approaching the bar on which
 the sea was breaking. They overpow- cred Speero and his companion and
 brought them and the baby back to
 Point Isabel, where Mrs. Speero was found walking up and down the beach tearing her hair and crying about her
 baby. The sane men of Point Isabel now took immediate action. They re- paired to the custom house and organ ized. An old politician who wrote obituary notices when prominent citi. zens died offered set of resolutions designed to end the craze. Then the meeting adjourned to round up the in- sane and corral them in box car. Speero was the first run in and then the trouble commenced. Camisa, on, learning that the prophet was a pris- oner, armed himself with a butcher knife and started to carve the crowd, but Constable John Whitaker succeed ed in arresting, disarming and binding h1m. There was no trouble in manag- ing the others. Several of the unfor tunates were sent to a lunatic asylum, but Cameron county was hot with Speero for being the originator of all the trouble, and he was sentenced to the penitentiary at Huntsville on the charge of assault with intent to mur- der, to which he pleaded that he was prophet sent to announce the second coming of his Master. The attention of the Australian consul having been called to his case, that authority inves- t1gated it, had Speero released and sent home to Montenegro. The action of the citizens broke the backbone of the epideIsic and Point Isabel has since been free from affiictions of every sort save an occasional gulf hurricane"

A FIGHT FOR PRINCIPLE.
The Principle Was a Disputed Ac-
 count of Fifteen Cents.

The Principle Was Disputed AC-
 count of Fifteen Cents.
 There was a stubborn lawsuit for principle in Justice Johnstone's court yesterday. It grew out of disputed account between P. McGovern, the pro- prietor of corral, and Mark Heissman, the attorney. The amout at issue was @ claim by McGovern of $l.15 alleged to be balance due on the board of a horse. MT. Heissman claimed that nothing was due but moved by law yer's antipathy to litigation made a tender of $1 just to avoid trouble. The tender was indignantly rejected. The plaintiff would have that other fifteen cents or come into possession of legal reason why not. He was represented by Judge Andrew Buck. The defendant declined to represent himself having in mind the old maxim "that he who is his own lawyer has fool for client," so he retained the services of Attorney Geo. Bullard and the struggle for the fifteen cents began.
 It was developed that everybody con- nected with the case had been so occu- pied with the contemplation of law pOih to lAest dO dblCdl of the transaction between the parties had been made. Such a calculation was, however. inadvertently made by Judge Buck during his argument in be- half of the plaintiff, by which it was shown that he had already received from the defendant thirty-six cents more than was due him. An address by MT. Bullard on top of this finding left the court nothing to do but to find ftrthe defendant. The costs, amounting to about $6, were assessed against the plaintiff, but the court reduced the amount to $2, 8 sum sufficient to cover all actual expenses, but nothing was left overlapping for profit. Mir. Bull lard's fee became matter of conjecture on Wall street. He was reticent on the subject but finally told friend in con- fdence that the retainer consisted only of a cigar. The cigar was of such & character that horrible suspicion had entered hls mind that it had been timed so as not to take fatal effect until the case was concluded, and then in time to prevent his collection of 8 contingent fee.
