growth Of population, says the New
York Herald. Almost every day the
New Yorker or Londoner who keeps
bis eyes and ears open sees or hears
OF a new scheme by which somebody
hopes to gain livelihood or make
money without honest labor. The lat
est thing in this line adds a new ter
ror to life in England's great metropo-
lis. Kidnapping and body snatching
are pastimes of hoary age, but the in
dustry of baby borrowing for purposes
OF incubation is absolutely new and up
TO date. and those engaged in it seem
to be doing a brisk business in Lon
don. In fact, it has assumed such pro-
portions that note of warning to
parents and other custodians is sound
ed by the directors OF the Infant Incu-
Dator at Earlscourt. who state that in
consequence of the success of their in
stitution various persons are calling
upon and writing to members OF the
medical profession. hospitals and in
nrmaries, asking for the loan of chill
dren to experiment with" The hos
pitals and tnfirmares will take care OF
themselves and children placed in their
care. but for the suburban matron the
new industry opens up an appalling
prospect of morning calls from gentle
men in search of infants for expert
mental purposes. And as plausible
frauds fatten on credulity, the new in
dustry may be expected to grow to
more extensive proportions unless wide
publicity is given to the warning of
the institution named Several Lon
don papers are doing their share in
this direction. Conceive the horror"
says one. ''of the Canonbury mother on

one, because our incubator grows four
teeth an hour and makes the hair friz-
zy. The beauty of our machines is
that they are large and the child can
walk around with its friends and need
not lie on Its back all day and do
nothing This is what may happen
all over the city and the suburbs II
something is not done to check the ca
reer of the baby borrower. However.
1t should not be forgotten that in some
quarters he will be hailed with delight.
