Among the many changes in naval war fare that have come Into existence as a re- suit of the late war with Spain there is none that will have greater power for good than the institution of the system of hospital ships by the United States gov ernment. For years surgeons whose duties have compelled them to witness the hor- TOTS of war have dreamed of some such in vention, and the naval officials of many countries have discussed the matter thor oughly. In each instance it has been the general opinion that while such plans might be carried out is was feared that the scheme would not prove a practical one, and it has remained for the United States to show that hospital ships could be con- structed and used with the greatest sue- cess.
 The experiment was naturally watched with great interest by those who had re- fused to sanction the scheme, and it is pleasant to relate that several governments are so far persuaded of their error that they have taken steps to provide just such

in active service the hospital staff of the Solace consists of six surgeons of the na- ". three apothecaries eight nurses, four mess attendants for the sick and one cook for the sick. in addition to the ordinary of ficers and crew. The personnel of the Re- lief consists of eight surgeons, eighteen nurses, five apothecaries, a cook for the sick and large corps of attendants On both vessels the interior was divided into wards, as in an ordinary hospital, while the operating rooms and the surgical wards were particularly we'll lighted and fully equipped for the proper care of the sick and wounded. Large bath rooms were constructed, the walls of which were cov- cred with rubber and the floors tiled. There were also apartments for all kinds of dis infection.

of one or two hospital ships, but he had met with little sympathy at headquarters As in other countries the scheme was look ed upon as the project of dreamer. and as there was no immediate prospect that such vessels would be needed there seemed to be no excuse for such an expenditure simp- ly as an experiment. As soon as war was declared, however, he pressed the matter with renewed vigor, and this time he had the support of President Mckinley, as well as of the secretary of war. As result the Solaee was built and this vessel, with the Relief, undoubtedly resulted in the saving of many lives that would other wise have been sacrificed.
 The Solace was formerly the Cromwell Line steamer Creole, and was first launched in 1862 Just prior to the breaking out of hostilities she was purchased by the gov ernment and the great bulk of the Span iards wounded during the naval fight of July 3, were taken on board of her where they were cared for as tenderly as if they had been American sailors
 The Relief also a steamship of the most modern type. She was built in 1897 and sailed between New York and Portland under the name of the John Englis. When

REMARKABLE COTTON
Bolls from Plants Over Four Years of
 Age

From the Memphis Scimitar.
 One might imagine the surprise of Secre- tary Hotter of the cotton exchange, this morning when he received by mall several bolls of cotton from the southeastern part of Florida. The sample received this morn- ing bears a staple of about one and one- half inches. and would sell for about 12 cents on the market. It is twice as valua- ble as the cotton raised in this part of the country, and while it has no specific class under the present conditions, 1t would be recognized perhaps as sea island cotton.
 About two months ago MT. H. s. koel- hofer, who was at one time with the llli- nois Central road in this city, but now with the Florida East Coast railroad, was in the city, and he made the remark to MT. Hot ter that there was cotton in Southeast Flor ida which would discount any that had been raised in this section of the country. MT. Hotter was reticent in taking the state- ment of MT. Koelhofer. relieving that he was joking at the time.
 The samples received this morning were sent by Rev. E. B. Blaskman, of Miami, Fla. editor of paper published in that city. They were sent through the request

ships for their own navies. A hospital ship is already being constructed by England and plans are being drawn to be submitted to the naval authorities of both Russia and Germany, so that there Is every reason to believe that before many years have passed conveyances of mercy will accompany each fleet of every country.
 There are few things that could be con- ceived that would do more to lessen the horror of war than this single innovation. During the past few years the destructive power of ships of war has constantly in- creased, and this has necessitated con- plete change in the internal arrangement of the vessels. It was not long ago that such conditions did not exist. In the old battleships the wounded could be treated without much trouble, but when the large connecting apartments gave place to the many small compartments made by the closing of watertght doors and the screw ing down of matches it became next to im-
The age-herald., 1899-08-06

possible to reach the wounded, to say noth- ing of giving them anything like proper treatment.
 During the old days the men could be brought to the surgeons in the hospital room but at present the most that the sur geon can do is to move from one part of the ship to the other As a result the only care that can be given the wounded is sort of emergency treatment, limited to the applica ion of temporary dressings and the checking of hemorrhages, and such con- ditions during fierce engagement would certainly greatly increased the death rate.
 Another use to which such ships will be put will be in acting as transports to carry the sick and wounded from the field of action to a friendly shore. During the last war the horrors of the transport Seneca emphasized the need of such vessels as the Solace and the Relief, for such sufferings as the brave soldiers were compelled to bear during that terrible voyage from Cu- ba to New York are unavoidable under the old condition of things
 Now, however, all such horrors may be avoided and the soldiers who are brought from the Philippines on the Solace will be just as comfortable as they would be in

They will also fly the Geneva cross at the fore that their peaceful character may all ways be apparent. Thus equipped these ships will remain near the fleet while in action, and as soon as any ship withdraws from the heat of the conflict or at the con- clusion of the engagement the wounded will be lowered to the steam launches or to barges lowed by these launches from which they can easily be transferred to their decks. Those who require immediate at tention would then be placed upon the op- erating table, while those whose injuries were of less serious character would be placed in wards where their wounds could be dressed temporarily and later they too would receive the attention of the surgeon.
 It is a matter of considerable pride that such a humane project should first have been put into practice by the United States government. and 1t is certainly but just that some memorial should be drafted in honor of the man to whose brain and en- ergy this great adjunct to naval warfare is due Surgeon General Van Reypen of the United States navy.
The age-herald., 1899-08-06

any well regulated hospital on land. They will have comfortable beds so arranged as to cause the least strain upon the injured part, proper food, especially prepared in view of their condition, good medical at tendance and the most careful nursing Under such conditions injuries are rapidly overcome and the sick who are to return from the islands in the Pacific will proba- bly, have almost entirely recovered before they catch their first glimpse of the United States. When we compare such a result with the awful and similar transports dur ing the Spanish war. it Is not difficult to appreciate the fact that one of the greatest steps for the good of humanity has been taken.
 The credit for this remarkable achieve ment in improving the conditions of war fare is due to the intelligence of Surgeon General Reypen. Long before there was any prospect of a conflict between the two nations he had advocated the construction

 The office boy pointed out the individual who was working in a corner of the room. The visitor passed over to him.
 You the funny man?"
 "Yep."
 Well, want to thank you for the pleas ure one of your jokes caused me yester- day.
 The humorist felt in his pockets to see if he had enough money to buy.
 Like 1t, eh? he said, smiling.
 "Yes. It brought back my youth to me when my grandfather used to hold me on his knee and tell me that very story" The visitor and the humorst quickly dis appeared downstairs to the nearest corner. When they came out the former said:

 Returning to the office the humorist threw

of Mr. Koelhofer to convince MT. Hotter of the fact in his assertion two months ago. Mir. Hotter says that 1t Is very fine grade of cotton, and the remarkable feature about it is that the plant from which these bolls were taken has lived four years without replanting There is no re- cord that any person planted the seed from which the stalk grew, but 1t has been watched for the past four years and no one, 1t is known, has placed the seed there since the first boil was taken off It grows in the midst of bunch of briars and bushes, and there is no other cotton around it. It goes to demonstrate the fact that that section of Florida is first class for the cultivation of cotton and 1t Is possible that advances will be made to have the product planted and cultivated there.
