A Railroad Through GaIiIee.

The Ottoman government has bought
the English concession for line Of
railroad from Haifa to Damascus. 1t
is intended to build railroad through
Galilee to Mzerib by way of Beisan,
connecting at Mzerib with the
Damascus-Mecca line. On the 5th
instant FIVE German civil egnineers
employed by the Turkish government,
arrived in Haifa, and on the l1th
the vail of the province of Beirut
unveiled monument in commemora-
tion of the beginning of operations.
The estimated cost of this line from
Haifa to Mzerib, by way of Beisan,
is 81, 0oO,O 600. It is to be a marrow
gauge line (about forty inches in
width. The Damascus-Mecca line
has now reached point east of the
Dead sea. In this connection Consul
G. Bic. Ravndal of Beirut states that
he has reason to believe that. this rail
way, instead of running to the Hejjaz,
including Medina and Mecca, will take
from Ma'an southWesterly direc-
ton straight to the Gulf of Akaba in
the Red sea. While the line will be built
for strategical purposes, it can hardly
fail gradually to develop the trans-Jor-
dan country-hitherto another Tibet
by bringing it into touch with the
outside world.

Babies Mixed 10 Incubator.

A strange lawsuit has just been
heard by the courts of Amsterdam.
As far back as February last year a
newly born child was taken from the
mothers care to be reared in an IN
cubator. In accordance with medical
advice the infant was packed in wad-
ding and hurried to the hospital, where
the incubators stand ready to receive
weakly babies. Meanwhile, in COM
pliance with Dutch law. the father
had The birth of son registered, and
the child was given the name of
Franciscus Gerardus there and then.
At the hospital receipt was taken
for the baby boy end he was put into
one of the incubators. Some weeks
passed and the parents received notice
that their child was we'll enough to
take away. Imagine the fathers sur
prise when he went to fetch his son to
have baby girl thrust into his arms.
The hospital nurse declared some mis-
takes had been made by the parents.
The parents, nurse and other witnesses
declared the mistake was on the part
of the hospital authorities. The baby
girl was not wanted by the parents OF
the missing baby boy, and nobody else
owned her. The father took proceed
ings against the Mayor Of the city,
who IS the nominal head of the
hospital, and claimed 240 pounds DAM
ages for his lost son. During the
time the child was in the incubator
the outside of the machine was
painted, and, according to the plain
tiff's advocate, che cards on which are
written the particulars regarding the
inmates were mixed up. A touch Of
romance is added to the case by the
offer of an anonymous woman, who
undertakes to pay the compensation
claimed by the parents and adopt the
girl who ought to be boy. Judgment
will be given next on5h.-Phiiadel-
phia Telegraph.
