BABY INCUBATORS IN FRANCE.
NEW CHARITY IN PARIS To SAVE THE
LIVES OF DELICATE INFANTS.

Paris Cor. OF Philadelphia Telegraph
A small shop has been hired on the
| Boulevard POisioniere to contain/the
hOt-air boxes in which prcmaturely
born babies are kept. 1t is a gratuits
GUS charity, all that is required is Il
certificate OF poverty TO be produced
by the family of the child and signed
by some responsible person; for the
society, not being rich and the process
Of keeping up the establishment be-
ing extremely costly those WHO can
afford payment are obliged to give it.
The place is small and scrupulOusly
clean. On first entrance ones i'm
preston is that OF seeing the mOrguc
through the wrong end of an opera
glass. Fourteen small glass boxes
with lcaden tops, capped by long
stove-pipc-likc chimney, topped bya
tentilat0r, stood around the walls.
These boxes are heated from below
and the mattress on which the baby
lies is porous and permits the hot air
to circulate freely. Each of these
h0t-lir boxes was tenanted by an absO-
lutcly motionless atom Of humanityj
swaddlcd in white linen, pinned tight
ly over the feet, so that only the head
and hands were visible. Over the pill.
low of each hung thermometer, the
unvarying temperature being kept at
50 degrees. A rather pretty girl, who
acted as superintendent, explained
that they saved 50 per cent. of the 6.
months babies and 50 per cent. OF the
children over 6 months.
One small candidate was waiting
for his father TO come and take him
away. He was quite fine infant,
with thick crop Of dark hair, a tru-
culent expression, and talent for
squalling that amounted to genius.
The party was much struck by what
was apparently mulatto baby, the
dark yellow of its complexion shading
into brown at its finger tips; but the
attendants said it was suffering from
jaundice, and its case was by no means
serious. These poor mites, it seems;
are apt to have liver trouble, which
causes jaundicc and also Inability to
swallow, in which case they are fed
through the nostril, and even stom.
ach. which is serious, as, il they can
not assimilate any nourishment,' t,Iey
die Of inanition. 1t Is rather hard on
the hapless infants to suffer all the
ills that flesh is heir tn at so tender
an age, and, after scrambling through
all manner of maladies, to be handed
over TO the joys Of pauper existenccs
but putting that plllosophic view OF
the case out OF the question, the chars
ity is certainly an excellent one, and
does more to combit the depopulation
of France than all the speeches and
articles on that thrilling subject can
ever accomplish.

CURIOUS RIVERS.
THE YUKON Is SAID TO BE TIE LARG.
EsTiN NORTH AMERICA.

1t is a recognized fact in science
that very few great rivers have been
thoroughly explored by going up
stream. For nearly 200O years travel
ers and explorers cndeavorcd to dis
cover the sources Of the Nile by as
ccnding that wonderful river. But by
the time they had reached the diff
cult part of the stream their supplies
and energy were exhausted, aud they
could 90 no further. 1t is only by
seeking the sources of rivers by over
land routes that explorers meet with
success. 1t was in this manner. says
the Philadelphia Press, that Henry
NJ. Stanley traced the route of the
Congo, in Africa. In this way of pro-
|cedure Frederick Schwatka was ena-
bled I'd float down the Yukon, and
Spcke found the secret of the river
Nile.
One OF the most curious rivers that
has come to the knowledge of men is
the Wcbbe Shcbcyli, of eastern Afr
ca, a deep and rapid stream, abound
ing in strange fish and fcrocious croc-
odiles. Although it flows for hun
dreds of miles through fertile lands
the immense volume of water never
reaches the sea. A short distance
north Of the equator the river is lost
in a desert region, few miles from
the Indian ocean.
Some of the more recent explorers
of Alaska and British America claim
that the Mississippi can no longer be
regarded as the largest river on the
North American continent. This dis.
tinction is claimed for the great
Yukon river. According to Ivan
Petrotf, who spent over two years in
Alaska, collecting materials for the
last census, the Yukon empties into
Norton sound about third mOrt
water than the Mississippi pours into
the Gulf of Mexico. The Yukon basir
comprises the larger part of northern
Alaska, and 600 miles from its moutl
the river Is a mile in width. Man,
centuries before it was discovcrcd1b,
white men it very likely served as TIL;
water highway into the interior, fo
tribes whom we believe to have crossed
from Asia TO the American continent
The Yukon river is over 1000 miles il
length.
Travellers report that in Algeri;
there exists "A small stream which til,
chemistry of nature has turned int,
ink. 1t is formed by the union Of tw,
rivers, one of which is very strongl,
imprcgnated with iron, while TIL
other, meandering through a pea
marsh, imbibes large quantities o
galic acid. Letters have been writer
with the natural compound Of irol
and gallic acid, which forms thi
small yet wonderful stream.

UNION VETERANS RALLY
THE RdR VETS WHOOP IT UP FOE
MRINLEY and SOUND MONET.

The League Holds Largely Attended
MISUNDERSTANDING Addresses by Hon.
N. ID. sperry and Others.
The Union Veterans Patriotic league
held an enthusiastic and largely at
tended meeting last evening in Odd
Fellows building, 81 Crown street. An
address was made by Hon, N. d. Sper-
ry, and the veterans whooped it up for
Mckinley and Hobart in a most en-
thusiastic manner.
Congressman Sperry was introduced
by President Dow and said:
Some Of the men who stood up for
Mr.. Clevelands sound money policy
changed front when William Jennings
Bryan was nominated, although the
Chicago platform was exactly contrary
to the views they had been holding.
What do you think of men who stultify
themselves in this manner?
"In Washington l had a chance to
hear about the silver campaign from
the leaders there, who were kept con-
stantly posted on the delegates who
We're elected to the national convention
It cost the silver men three-quarters OF
a million dollars to get their plan
adopted by that convention.
"Those who believed in the principles
of Jefferson and Jackson We're opposed
to the doings of that convention ana
refused to the turned by every wind.
ST lay it down as a first principle that
you can't make something out of moth
ing, and it is a generally accepted prin-
ciple in this country that SO cents are
not worth 100 cents"
Mr.. Sperry then gave the history of
how the ratio of 16 to was established,
and Of the various changes in the value
of the two metals. which had resulted
in driving out one or the other as the
undervalued metal at various times.
The free coinage of silver would mean
a loss to holders of insurance policies
and depositors in banks. Secretary
Carlisle and Senator Sherman both
agree that a dollar under free coinage
would only be worth SO cents.
After the address a campaign song
was rendered very acceptably by Mr.
| William Bissell
The league voted to attend the flag
raising in the Sixth ward tomorrow
evening. A vote was also passed to
attend the parade Monday night.
| Speeches were also then made by
| Comrade Baldwin and others. About
one hundred veterans were present al

Medical Discovery. 1t is the one reliable
cure for all pulmonary complaints. Its
effect upon throat lungs and bronchial

tains clements that work directly on the
nerves, giving them steadiness and strength.
1t is for this reason highly recommended to
those suffering from brain flag, overwork
and loss of sleep. Thousands of people
have testified to the wonderful benefits re-
ceived from this great medicine. Among
them, Mrs Ella Howell of Derby, Perry

out of a schsm between the Board OF Trustees ana
