these
situations, the Columbian Medical College,
which started in 1921, the speaker traced
the history of the schools that have -four
ished in the District. At this time, he said,
there is in successful operation in this city
four medical schools. A brief history was
given of the medical departments of Column
bian Georgetown, Howard and the Nation
al Universities.
The Columbian Medical College, the
speaker said, has had its ups and downs
while its second course of lectures was in
progress some physicians attempted to Sc
cure authority from Congress to open a
medical school. They entirely Ignored the
existence of this college, and it was in evil
dence that their purpose was to cripple this,
the only medical college in the District of
Columbia. The faculty defeated the scheme.
In 1910 the college was burnt out; in 1856
1t nearly went out; in 1861 1t was put out
In 1856 the lectures were suspended for the
season because of lack of support, the dean
having reported balance of SS.2o to show
for the winters work. In 1866 the medical
school moved into its present quarters,
which had been provided through the gen.
crosby of Mr. W. W. Corcoran. Prosperity
has been the order of the day since then.
"The medical department of the George
town University" the speaker said, ''if the
paradox be permitted, was born with n
silver spoon in its mouth, and has held
on to it ever since, for its progress and
success have been uninterrupted. The or
ganization of this splendid institution is
due to Doctors Noble Young, Johnson
Eliot, Flodoardo Howard and Charles II.
Liebermann, who conceived the idea and
developed the plan of organization. They
met in DR.. Young's office, October rs, 1885,
and, after elaboration, resolved to esteb-
lish a medical college in this city. And
they did it, and it remains. and will re-
main, a monument of glory to their names
while medical science is taught in the Dis
trict of Columbia"
The first session was held in 1851, and
of the first faculty only one remains Dr.
James W. II. Lovejoy, who is still doing
service as a professor and president of
the faculty.
THE Howard University was chartered"
he stated, 'by act of Congress. approved
March >, 1867. The lectures in the medical
department commenced November 5, 1858
Two students attended the first course of
lectures; scores attend more recent courses.
1t was the first college here to adopt the
three years course of study, and has now,
with other progressive schools of medi-
cine. adopted the four years plan.
THE National University is the Junior
medical school, and was opeLed in 1884.
II has a corps Of active, ambitious profess
sors, who are doing good work" DR..
Smith then spoke of the character Of the
work done by medical schools and their
influence upon the advancement of medi-
cal science.

MAKING PATENT LEATHER.
A High Degree Of Heat and Much Care
Secessary i'm the Process.

Japanned leather, generally called patent
leather. was first made in America. says
the New Orleans Times-Democrat, by Seth
Boyden Of Newark. n. j.. lsls-2o. A smooth.
glazed finish was first given TO calf-skin I'm
France. The leather is curried expressly
for this purpose. and particular care Is
taken to keep II as free as possible from
grease; the skins are then tackled on frames
and coated with a composition Of linseed
oil and umber. in the proportion OF eighteen
gallons of oil to FIVE OF lumber, boiled until
nearly solid and then mixed with spirits
OF turpentine TO the proper consistency.
Lamphlack is also added when the compo-
sition is applied in order to give color and
body. From three to four coats OF this are
necessary to form a substance TO receive
the varnish. They are laid on with a knife
or scraper. To render the goods soft and
plant each coat must be very light and
thoroughly dried after each applica ton. A
thin coat Is afterward applied OF the same
composition OF proper consistency TO he put
on with brush and with sufficient lamp
black boiled in it TO make a perfect black.
When thoroughly dry IL Is cut down with
a scraper having turned edges. when IL 10
ready to yarnish. The principal varnish
used is made of linseed oil and Russian
blue, boiled to the thickness of printers
ink. Ii is reduced with spirits of turpen-
tine to a suitable consistency to work with
brush. and then applied in two or three
sepa ra te coats. which are scraped and p,.rn-
iced until the leather is perfectly filed ard
smooth. The finishing coat is put on with
special care in a room kept closed and with
the floor wet to prevent dust The frames
are then run into an oven heated to about
l15 degrees. In preparing this kind OF
leather the manufacturer must give the
skin as high q heat as IL can bear in order
TO dry the composition on the surface as
rapidly as possible without absorption, and
cautiously. SO as not TO injure the 1bsr OF
the leather.

HOSPITALS IN WASHINGTON.
Important Address Delivered by DIR.
j. Ford Thompson.

The history of the hospitals of the Dis
trct of Columbia was given in an address
by Dr. J. Ford Thompson, who prefaced the
purely historical portion by saying that
nearly everything that has been done to
give our profession the high position it to-
day occupies in the estimation of apprecia-
tive minds, professional or non professional
has been the outcome of hospital teaching
for it is there, and only there, that those
crucial tests of accuracy in judgment which
our calling requires can be properly ap-
piled and verified. 1t may be considered as
particularly fortunate that, as rule, no
objections are made as no hardshios are
entailed to this using of the INDECENT sick
for scientific purposes. and they may have
some consolation in the thought that, as
some recompense to the community for the
often liberal expenditure Of time and
money. they offer themselves as a means
Of advancing the science upon whose sue
cess their own welfare depends.
1T is to be lamented that, at least in our
own country, there is often lack of l.a--
mony and good feeling in the ranks of thcse
whose interests can only be subservc1 by
an intelligent administration and II high
standard of excellence in all that concerns
the welfare and success of our hospital
government; and this friction is generally
most pronounced as it is most frequent be-
tween the medical staff, individually, or as
a whole, and the governing body however
it may be constituted; and 1t inevitably
leads to a condition of things which has
often retarded the growth and limited the
sphere of usefulness of many an institution
whose promise bright as charity
could wish or science expect. Perhaps it is
not Away easy to place the responsibility
for such misunderstanding but Il seems to
be due in the great majority OF cases to Il
misconception of the bounds and limits of
the respective fields of duty and manage
ment of the two responsible bodies /
should say that encroachments are too ofte n
made upon strictly professional donna n, and
that its rights. at times. are rutflessly in
fringed upon, and its dignity and self
respect assailed. without any Unsuitable OF
! reasonable excuse for the action.
1T would seem to be apparent to minds OF
ordinary intelligence, sef-evdent
necessity, that the medical boards should
be fairly and sufficiently represented in the
directing body, and that their opinions and
counsels should be sought and duly weigh
ed in all questions involving the interests
they have SO largely in charge, ami thei-
