The San Francisco call., 1898-03-06

the last municipal year were: Total deaths, 1866: under one year of age, 997. Of these infants 263 are reported to have died of atrophy and hamilton; that is to say they died because the feeble vital spark was not nursed into vigorous life by proper care in earliest infancy. It is not unfair to assume that a considerable proportion might have been saved by the incubator, be- sides a percentage of the 734 other in- fants whose death is ascribed to other causes.
 In London the new improvement has created a new industry. Portable in- cubators are made of glass and metal, which can be washed, disinfected and carried in a vehicle to any point where they are required. From the depot where they are kept in stock an incu- bator may be dispatched to a house where a feeble or premature child has just been born, and can be handled by any intelligent trained nurse. They will only be needed for few days; at the end of two or three weeks the ln- fant will have acquired vitality enough to resist a breath of fresh air, and the incubator can be returned to the depot.

ADVENTURES OF A
 WOMAN UNDERTAKER

 " Did you really mean 1t? I thought you were only joking. Have you truly decided to learn?'
 Why, of course.' I answered. If you'll teach me-"
 After Mrs. Parks learned how to lay out a body for burial, she entered a college of embalming, which met here last November. Prominent undertak- at the head of this school, and come here about once in every six or seven years.
 Out of class of thirty-two gradu- ates, three were women, namely, Mrs. Parks of San Francisco, Miss Wood of Oakland and Mrs. Ream of Sacra-
 Did you ever attend an autopsy?' I asked her.
 "Oh, yes; and the first one I attended the doctors watched me for fear I would change color. But I had re- solved to be firm, and kept up to the end, although several times I felt very uneasy. At the conclusion, one of the doctors congratulated me, and said he had fainted himself the first one he at tended"
 Mrs. Parks complained that the ma- jority of undertakers are afraid to initiate woman into the business. As one undertaken said to her: Why should we give you money that we can earn ourselves? As long as the public does not know that lady can be em ployed, why should we make them any the wiser?"

main entrance, which is known as the nursery Here, all day long, train of nurses feed the babies with food spe- cially assigned to each by the institute physicians; some of them suffer from mouth trouble which requires them to be fed through the nose. But one sell dom hears the complaint so often made in private nurseries that the food "does not agree with baby" Back of the nursery stands the nurses dormitory. They keep watch and watch, so that the number on duty all through night and day is about the same. So perfect is the system that the death rate among the infants is not now greater than that among the people at large low as that is in New York.
 Hospitals like the Lion Institute in New York are, of course, not self-sup- porting, nor could they be here. A pit tance is granted in New York by the municipal government which is sup plemented by an annuity generously be- slowed by the rich. Parents who can afford to pay for the salvation of the

PESTS TO KILL PESTS.

Some remarkable bugs are being matched and reared at present by ex- perts of the Government Bureau of En- tomology at Washington. This kind of scientific work has a very useful pur- pose in view, notwithstanding the fact that the species selected for breeding are the most peStiferouS that can be found.
 On the shelves and on the floor are glass jars and boxes, with glass sides. containing great variety of plants. fruits, dried-up vegetables and pieces of branches or roots. The purpose for which injurious insects are bred in this hatchery Is twofold. In the first place it Is desired to study their history, be- cause knowledge on this subject yields pointers as to the best methods of at- tacking them. Particularly it is desir able to discover what parasites prev upon them. The fact is that every spe cies has it's parasitic enemies, and one of the most effective methods for at- tacking pestiferous bug is to identify and encourage the multiplication of it's insect foes.
 One of the most remarkable insects bred in the insectary Is the "shothole beetle" It is so called because of queer little tunnels, resembling holes made by small shot, which it bores in wood. The "sawdust" produced bv OO1i io OAiS"No tO ei PulR Dy the 1e- male beetle and is put by her into mushroom beds. In due time the beds furnish mushrooms for her young.
 When the parasite of an injurious in sect is found it is coddled and petted. Efforts are made to encourage 1t to breed. Eventually 1t is let loose exper- mentally on an infested tree or other plant. Fierce beetles, which are to the insect world what beasts of prey are to the mammal kingdom, are propa- gated and placed where they will have chance to tackle their victims. Fun gus and bacterial diseases are commit nicated to healthy bugs, in order that they may be let loose and disseminate artificial maladies among their kind.
 The Bureau of Entomology is breed ing parasites of the cotton-boll weevil the insect that is doing so much damage to cotton in the southwest. Other bugs under propagation are the borer that invades oak tree roots, the scale insect of the peach, the cottony maple scale and the creosote scale This latter is found on the creosote shrub all through the southwest. The shrub itself is not of importance, but the substance of the scale formed by the insect makes an excellent commer- cial quality of shelIac. The Japanese shellac is obtained from similar bug.

This sky-scrapeD which is the larg- est in the city, extends from Broadway through to Greenwich street, and cov- CTS 29, ,152 feet of ground, for which $S,- 900, 900 was paid. This is S102 90 per foot, and, though the price per foot Is less than has been paid for several oth- CT pl0ts, the total represents an enor- nous sum to pay merely for the ground on which to erect one building.
 One peculiar effect in real estate val ues that has followed the sky-scraper era is the extraordinary price which has been put upon sites that are suit able for very high buildings, spots with open surroundings, on which other lofty structures are not likely to be built are, of course, the most de- sirable for this purpose, and such places are few in the city of New York The result is that many buildings which are already very profitable are being torn down to make room for the erec- tion of sky-Scrapers.
 It is now said that the famous old Astor House, which is still a paying and prosperous nOtel, VIII Soon De tOrn down and replaced by twenty-five story office building. This site faces the churchyard of old St. Paul's on one side and the open space about the Federal building on another, SO that 1t is an exceptionally advantageous loca- tion for a tall building.
 Of course there are many big real es- tate transactions in which the actual prices paid do not appear, but it is not likely that there have been any in which the figures have surpassed those

1 HE most valuable plat of ground
 In the world, at least the one
 that has commanded the highest


 l price, is located at the corner of Broad and Wall streets, New York City, in the heart of the great finan- cial district. Several years ago MT. Wilkes established a record for high priced realty by paying $16S,00O for sos square feet of ground on this site, or $330 TO per square foot.
 The immensity of this rate of valu- ation can best be appreciated by meas uring off square foot or space and then comparing its dimensions with those of S33O in money. Such a com parison will show that if MT. Wilkes had paid for his property in $1 bills he would have been able to cover his en- tire lot with eighty-two layers of green hacks. or he could have paved it with four tiers of silver dollars placed edge to edge as closely as they would lie. Doubtless if the worthy Dutch burgh- CTS of New Amsterdam could return to earth they would be astounded to learn the value of the land on which they pastured their cows 200 years ago.
 Though no other piece of ground has commanded an equal price per foot, there are several other plats in New York City which are quite equal to the Wilkes property in value. For exam ple, a considerable larger lot on the northwest corner of Nassau and Pine streets, one block above the Wilkes property, was sold last year for s250 per square foot, and the opposite cor ner of the same streets, including 6043 feet, was bought by the Hanover Ma tional Bank for $1, $50 900. The lot on the corner of Broadway and Maiden lane, and the site of the Commercial Cable Company's building in Broad street, are also properties that could be covered
