DIR. EllinwOOd Says San Francisco Is
AWAY Behind the Times.

Away BEHIND the lines.
Uses aud Abuses of Hospitals was the
subject of the third of the course Of Lane
lectures at the Cooper Medical College last
night. Professor c. n. Ellinwood was the
lecturer, and in opening his remarks said
that San Francisco is away behind the times
In the way of hospital service. He COM
pared this city with others, and showed how
deficient San Francisco is In its method of
public medical treatment The wealthy
citizens here have not endowed hospitals
like wealthy public-sp spirited citizens have
elsewhere. This was probably not the fault
OF the citizens. but simply because their at
tenti0n has not been drawn TO that fact.
NV hat a poor way San Francisco would
be in should an epidemic ever break out
within the county. There is no place 10
Isolate contagious diseases, and II cholera
should ever gain foothold there would be
no means OF administering medical assist
ance TO the thousands OF poor IN syS-
tematc and beneficial way.
Millions of dollars are being spent IN
placing The country in position Of defense
against an enemy, but very little attention
is paid to defending the nation against foes
that do more destruction than all the wars
combined.
Good hospitals" said the lecturer. "are
as much a system of protection as batteries
of heavy guns, and my hope is 10 see per-
feet hospital service in San Francisco, as
we'll as IN other cities Of the Union"
Some people he said, object 10 HOSPITALS
as being breeding places of disease. This
he proved to be an error and showed that
there was more danger of cOntagi0n from
disease in 4 hotel than az hospital
People also objected 10 hospitals on the
ground that the patients there were expert
mented on TO a great extent. Admitting
that such were the case, the lecturer proved
that as all the experiments were directly in
the line Of medical progress the experiment
invariably proved to be for the good and
benefit Of the patient. as well as 10 thou
sands of others who may be likewise af-

THE TUNEFUL VOICE.

There is one eminent reason why
every girl should be taught to sing; if
she has voice, to improve it; if she
has no ear, to acquire one if possible;
and this is, that singing and rhythmical
sounds are very great domestic helps in
many crises, since listening composes
the nerves of the excited and angry,
soothes the sorrowful, lulls the wake
.ful, and largely helps in the cure of
various illnesses. The mother who
cannot sing her baby to sleep is to be
pitied; the person who was not sung to
sleep when a baby has something in
complete in his being.
All children love the lullaby, whether
it is the gentle murmur, half song. half
monotone, whether it is the sweet mel
ody, or whether it is a tune song in a
voice regardless of measure and loud
and clear as a yOdel. Except where a
person is constitutionally inept and is
'asped by the concord of sweet sounds,
rs sometimes happens, the effect of mu-
sic is quieting upon the nerves.
1t seems only natural that the ex-
preston of pure order and the law of
numbers, which is what music is in
part should bring about good conse-
quences when applied therapeutically.
Ii all ones growth could be surrounded
by music, it might be as if one floated
in a bath of some elixir of life, receiving
it through every pore. Even if this
is but notion, something of the sort is
evident to those who have the care of
children, who know how often a tune
will end a tlntrum, and turn tears to
smiles. II 4 mother cannot sing her
self, she can intOne rhythmically, or
she can see that her nurse is able to
sing; for it seems, in view of its power
on the nerves and the higher nature,
that a child should no more be de-
prived of music than of any other food
necessary to his well-being, physical or
mental
We have known some patients to
long for music as fevered ones do for
cold water, and others who declared
that it eased their pain to listen to it.
This idea of theirs is not fanciful, but
has had the sanction of great physicians,
who all declare that music has bound
'ess uses in the treatment of the insane
If the music works so well where
nerves, and indeed whole systems, are
out forder and positively diseased, how
effective it must be where there is al
ready health in the production of the
greatest result from that health-Har-

SCIENTIFIC BRIEFS

Scientists say that if the bed of the
Pacific Ocean could be seen it would
disclose to view several mountains with
truncated tops scattered over it. These
mountains would be perfectly bare at
the base, and all around their tops
would be covered with beautiful vege-
;ationof coral polypi.
Extensive drought will cause the snail
TO close its doors, to prevent evapora-
ton of its bodily moisture and dry up.
These little animals are possessed of as
tonishing vitality, regaining activity
after having been frozen in solid blocks
of ice, and enduring a degree of heat
FOR -eeks which daily crisps vegetation.
There is in Spain river called Tinto,
which has very extraordinary qualities.
Its waters, which are as yellow as the
topaz, harden the sand and petrify it in
a most surprising manner. If a stone
falls into the river and rests upon
another they both become perfectly
united and conglutinated in a year. 1t
withers all the plants on its banks as
well as the roots of treets, which it dyes
of the same hue as its water. No fish
i've in its stream.
Dew is the greatest respecter Of colors.
To prove this take pieces of glass or
boards and paint them red, yellow,
green and black. Expose them at
night, and you will find that the yellow
will be covered with moisture, that the
green will be damp, but that the red
md black will be left perfectly dry.
The pure white lustre of snow is due
to the fact that all the elementary
colors of light are blended together in
the radiance that is thrown off from the
surface of the thousand and more dis
inct and perfect crystals.
The greatest depth under water ever
/ reached by diver is believed to have
been attained by Captain John Chris
Hansen, who went down 1876 feet below
the surface at Elliott Bay, Wash, re-
Gently. He remained at that depth in
his armor for 20 minutes, without in
convenience.
The ocean contains several fish which
clothe or adorn themselves, the most
conspicuous of them being the anten-
narius, a small fish frequenting the
Saragossa Sea, which literally clothes
itself with seaweed, fastening the pieces
together with sticky, gelatinous strings,
and then holding the garment on with
its fore fins.
