BABY is BROUGHT TO LIFE
One Of Twins, Apparently StlIiborn,
Revived With AdrenaIin in New
York Hospital.

New York.-Dr. Philip Mininberg of
3771 Twenty-first avenue, Brooklyn,
who brought an apparently stillborn
twin to life at the maternity hospital
at Forty-fifth street and Fifteenth ave
nue., on Lincolns birthday by the use
of adrenalin solution, said that both
twins were doing so well that it was
likely they might be taken out of the
incubator in few days, instead of
being left there for the further two
weeks which It had been supposed
would be necessary. The twins, Dan
lei and Dorothy, are the children of
Norris and Bertha Isaacson of 6424
Third avenue, Brooklyn. 1t was the
hoy who appeared stillborn.

Ills Majesty the Devil is described

tlclng, rather than as principle OF
evil" This description is by DR.. J.

OF incorporating as IAN angel of

Horseferry Road.

Visitors to London Will remember a
street back Of Westminster abbey,
which was called Horseferry road. 1t
leads to a bridge across the Thames
and once had the only horse ferry al
lowed in London, a monopoly granted
to the archbishops Of Canterbury, and
when most of the traffic of the old
ferry was diverted by the opening of
Westminster bridge, the see Of Canter-
bury was granted $1,000 compensa-
ton fer loss of revenue. The old ferry,
which continued to ply until the cree
ton Of Lambeth bridge, 60 years ago,
had place in English history, for by
1t James II and his consort passed
from Whitehall to the Surrey side one
dark night in December 1858, en- route
for France and exile. The king threw
the great seal into the river from the
ferryboat during the crossing. It was
picked up by fisherman and given
to William Of Orange.

Tubular Springs.

It was Ernoult the French engineer,
who invented spring formed of a
coiled-stee tube, in which, 1t Is
claimed, are found certain advantages
over springs made of solid metal. 1t
is well known that tube is much
stronger and more rigid than bar
of the same material of equal weight,
from which ii might be assumed that
tube would not form a flexible
spring. But Ernoult has, it appears,
proved that a tube is more flexible
than bar of the same exterior dimen-
sions. 1t will be observed that the two
principles are not in conflict. Owing
TO its smaller mass and consequently
smaller inertia the tubular spring re-
spends more quickly, and should, FOR
that reason, be specially useful for
many purposes, particularly in avia-
ion.-ExChange.
