Adopts Incubator Baby.

Richard Elkins, youngest son OF the
late Senator Stephen b. Elkins. OF West
Virginia, today revealed that the bright
eyed baby his wife wheels along the At
Iantic City Boardwalk every afternoon is
a graduate" of the incubator that is in a
nearby sideshow.
"My wife legally adopted the child and
gave him her family name." Mr.. Elkins
told the reporter. "He is now John
Gerald Lousdale."
Beginning life on May 2S, 1915, the
baby weighed only two and half pounds.
The father had died several months be-
fore, and the mother fingered only short
time after the infant was born. A phYsi-
clan said the only hope of saving the
baby's life lay in the incubator.
Mrs. Elkins, frequent visitor to the
institution, became deeply interested in
the orphan with The fascinating smile.
She made confidential inquiries about his
parents.
81 wish 10 give that youngster good
home and bring him up as my own"
Mrs. Elkins told the nurse in charge.
The maternal grandmother OF the baby
was reluctant at first, but consented TO
the adoption because she realized what it
meant for the baby's future.
Then Mrs. Elkin had priest go 10 The
incubator and baptise the baby. Legal
documents were drawn up and on Sep
tember Is of last year little John was taken
to the Elkins apartment.

Through VoItaire's Ewes.

We admit that we are much more civ
ilized, cultured and humane than our
grandfathers OF hundred and fifty years
ago. Still this fragment OF Voltaire's ia
BILE is not without it present punch.
The giant from the star Sirius, is seeing
the sights OF the earth accompanied by a
philosopher, who remarked:
"Do you know while stand here and
talk to you, 100, 900 hat-wearing fools OF
our beast class are about TO kill 100 900
beings with turbans on their heads, or be
hewn in pieces by them, and that this has
been the usual mode ofproceeding nearly
all over the world, time out Of mind ?"
The giant shuddered and asked the
cause of the hideous quarrel. The phil
osopher replied:
"They turn on some heaps of mud
about the size of your heel. But you
must not suppose that any one OF these
millions OF men who cut each others
throats claims one fragment OF these
heaps of mud. The only question TO be
settled is whether they shall belong to a
man called Sultan or TO another man,
who for some reason or other, is called
emperor
"Not one of them has ever seen or will
ever see the piece OF ground in question,
and there is scarce one Of the beings, who
murder each other, who has ever seen
the being for whose sake he lets himself
be murdered"
"Wretches," exclaimed the giant from
Sirius. "Such an excess Of insane rage
is beyond comprehension. | have a
mind to take step and scunch the whole
swarm OF ridiculous assassins in three
kicks"
"Do not interfere with them," was the
answer. "They are doing their best to
ruin themselves. Know, that after a
lapse OF ten years not one in hundred
oithese poor wretches will be lett. Know,
that if they had not drawn the sword,
hunger, toll and intemperance would have
swept them away.
Besides, it is not they who deserve
punishment. II is those idle barbarianS
who sit in their studios and, while they
digest their food, give orders for the
slaughter OF a million men, and who af-
terward arrange solemn thanksgiving SER
vices 10 God"

The Healing sun.

thaS always been understood, although
more or less vaguely, that sunlight is eff
caciouS in the treatment OF many physical
ills; but il is only OF late years that the
knowledge has been redued TO definite
scientific form. Experiments with cases
of bone tuberculosis by French and Ger
man physicians have been so successful
that sanatoriums have been established
exclusively for The application oithe SUM-
light treatment. One OF the most famous
OF them is in the Alpine village OF Leysin,
which stands forty-five hundred feet
the sea level. There hundreds OF tuber-
culous people, especially those suffering
from bone, or surgical, tuberculosis, are
treated with most gratifying results.
In the hospitals the galleries that COM
muncate with the wards all face south.
Patients are wheeled out into the open
sunlight, TO whica lhc feet and legs are
first exposed. As they become used TO
the treatment, the resi- OF the body is ex-
posed. SO accustomed do the patients
become both 10 the sun and TO the low
temperature that The children play in the

nationality they belong.
The results Of heliotherapy, as il is
called, seem 10 be especially good in

and especially the larger joints, such as

But it has been discovered that people

fair skin, who burn but do not tan, are
less likely TO react favorably. In any case
the treatment must be under the constant
supervision OF an experienced physician;
for if the exposure is continued too long,
or the patient is plunged too ruthlessly
into the treatment, great harm may result.

Inventor Would Fill Mine With Ice
To Save City.

To prevent Scranton, Pa, from caving
into the abandoned subterraneau caverns
cut peneath il by coal miners, local in
ventor has worked out strange scheme
which he believes would solve the city's
problem if employed. The mans plan
consists of filling the mines with ice, the
slow glacierlike movement OF which he
considers would cause il to be packed
soidly so as TO form substantial founda-
ton for the town. Although at the outset
much of the ice would melt, the inventor
contends that he melting would cease as
quickly as the surrounding ground became
thoroughly chilled. Furthermore the
packing would be done during the winter
time. The presence the world over OF
ground ice deposits is cited to
strengthen the contention that the scheme,
which he expects to patent, is feasible.
