GENERAL CATALOGUE or THE 4
V. VI. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT..

Very few Medical Colleges, so far as
We know, publish General Catalogues con
tanning brief biographical sketches Of
alumni Among the thousands OF cata-
logues Of all kinds that have come within
our observation we do not remember
to have seen one such till now. Thanks
to the Associate Alumni of the Medical
Depa rtmcnt of the University, under
whose auspices 1t has been prepared, and
especially to Dr. Lyman Allen, the Soc
rotary Of tho Associate Alumni who un-
dcrtook and has successfully completed
the task of preparation, our Medical Col
lcce now possesses such "A catalogue. It
makes thick pamphlet OF eSj pages
containing tho names, by classes, Of .o?i
graduates Of the Medical school from lS23
to 1904 and condensed sketches OF some
100 OF that number, giving date and
place Of birth. degrees, offices held. pres
ent address, 10 whom married. ctc. TIE
plan of the catalogue is similar to that
of the exceedingly valuable General Cata-
logue OF the University, prepared by
Prof Goodrich and published in 1891. only
those who have undertaken to procure
from widely scattered sources the facts
for such a catalogue can appreciate tho
amount OF labor involved in the task
That there should tc no errors in such
a work comprising thousands of names
is beyond possibility; but SO far as We can
perceive from curSorY examination Dr.
Alien has done his work with great care
and a high degree Of accuracy. 10 the
cata losuc proper, a geographical index
is added, giving residences by States and
towns: and an index Of names There arc
complete lists of officers, professors. i'll
StructorS, assistants, lecturers and dem
0ustrators from 1909 Ia 1903 inclusive, and
a brief history of tho department. All
IN all it is an admirable catalogue as
to plan and execution.
1t is sold at a dollar, and should have
a wide sale. In order that future editions
of the catalogue may he more complete

can supply omitted facts or correct any

yellow foes. if both are bcnS On fighting,
unless pcrchance tho rainy soason inter-
vencs to disastrous degree. 1t has been
favoritc plea on the part of Russians
that Kuropatkin's ran of campaign was
to lure the Japanese far away from the
coast, where the enemy would be oblig-
ed to haul munitions OF war long dis
tanccs and fight a decisive ba.,lc at
marked advantage.
The Japanese on the other hand have
insisted that their aim was to crowd the
Russians out Of Manchuria without a
decisive battle and simply hold that ter
ritory against the enemy. This idea
seems to have been in harmony with
their line OF action, first one division and
then another still further north ad-
vancing and compelling the Russians TO
withdraw along tho line of the Manchu-
rian railroad toward Mukden.
The world Will probs bly, soon have op-
portunity to see whether tho Russian or
the japanese proclamation was based on
facts If "a big battle takes place at M,ik
den. it will be evident that the Russians
have chosen the place of battle. IT on
the other hand they withdraw still furth-
or toward the interior and the japanese
do not follow them, it will be plain that
the Japanese have accomplished all they
set out to accomplish; and they viii CON

ANOTHER RUSSIAN RETREAT.

The evacuation Of New ChwanE by tho
Russians which seems now to have boon
established beyond the possibility of
doubt, marks another in the series Of al
most uninterrupted disasters that have
followed tho cars arms ovcr since the
Japancs" surprised tho Russian feet at
Port Arthur. This result seems 20 nave

"f fighting III tho region OF Ncw ChwanC
and in part by the advance of japanese
divisions To tho northeast of that point,
which served To threaten the line OF
communications OF the Russian army at
New Chwang
Maps showing the scene Of hostilitics
in the Far East show that the Japano So
divisions have been marching from the
Yalu region in almost parallel lines in
a northWcst"rly direction toward the Man
churian railway running from Port Ar
thur to Mukden, the base Of supplies and
headquarters of the Russian armies. "hc
advance Of these different divisions has
served to force repeated withdrawals on
the part of the Russians in order to avoid
the danger OF being cut off from all Jos
sible hope of retreat toward the north
and it is signiiiccnt that of the two north
erly divisions that at the extreme right
is apparently aimed at Mukdcn itself,
while that next to il if it continues in
its present line of march, will strike the
Manchuria line at Laoyang. Following
the proCedents already established the
Russians must risk "A pitched battle at
the point named with other japanese di-
visions in supporting distance on either
side, or they must make another retro
grade and evacuate Liaoyang, marching
back upon Mukdcn itsclf.
When the movement in question has
been forced there will be no further work
for the three different divisions that have
been operating south of that aimed at
Mukdcn. and they will all be at liberty
to converge their attack upon the Rus
sian commander in Mukdcn.
If the Russians had sufficient forces

Hollands air ship will differ from most
OF the aerial craft thus far designed
in that the driving power Will be purely
muscular. The inventor claims tnat
man has physical energy enough to propel
himself through the air under proper
conditions at the rate of from rorty to
nifty miles an hour. 1t is also to be noted
that this is a vcritable Tying machine,
being equirc~s. with SGT OF wings ten
feet In length, which can be operated
in various directions at the will OF the
operator.
To the ordinary man 1t would appear
much easier to apply tho balloon prn-
ciple to flying machine than to devise
a craft that would go under the water
and Mt the same time enable the crew
to breathe and there are great expocta-
tons in the new Holland fying machine.

AERIAL FLIGHT A POSSIBILITY.

The announcement that John Holland
has invented an airship which promises
10 solve the problem OF aerial navisa-
ton will receive a certain degree Of
Crcdence owing 20 the fact that tho in
yentor OF the craft Is the discoVeror of
the secret Of the submarine boat, Mr..
Holland himself IS optimistic in the
extreme over the success of his new
invention, holding that his airshlp Will
not only solve tho problem of aerial Eavi-
CATION, but will also enable a man to
navigate tho air as easily and as safely
as he can ride bicycle
IT is stated that Mr. Holland began to
investigate the question OF aerial fight
before he experimental with submarine
boats, and he was helped in the latter
line of Investigation by the results of
machines. lie constructed Il number of
models for aerial purposes, but tampor-
arily abandoned flying craft for the wond-
ers of the submarine field. Now he las
returned to his first love, and the result
must certainly be regarded as promis-
ing.
Mr.. Hollands airship, now approaching
completion, is constructed Of the finest
aluminium, which combines strength and
lightness in the highest degree possible

on them will permit. Some idea Of the
