the largest and finest hospitals in the
country. Nearly 800 patients can be &C
commodated at this institution at one time
in the public and private wards, private
rooms and suites. The institution now oc
cupies an entire square of ground, and the
hospital fronts on a splendid park, where the
convalescents may sit in the shade of the
trees or wander at will along the shady
walks and breathe the pure, fresh air.
In addition to the large public wards for
male and female. white and colored pa

and bath room and all handsomely fur
nished, either by private philanthropic citi-
Zens, physicians or societies. On each of
the four floors of this immense institution
there are two diet kitchens equipped with
all modern conveniences. In the improve
ments completed a year ago a splendid new
operating suite was provided, consisting of
three operating rooms, an anaesthetic
room. instrument room and rooms contain
ing bandages, steriliZins apparatus, etc. In
addition to the operating rooms in this
suite there is an amphitheater where oper-
ations are performed for the instruction of
student physicians and nurses. Another
operating room is located in the old part
OF the building and is used for emergency
cases. The operating department both as
to its arrangement, size and equipment. 1t
is declared, compares most favorably with
the operating department in any general
hospital, either in this country or abroad.
Reception and emergency wards and dis
pensaries have been provided by the in
creased size of the hospital and a delight
ful roof garden. where the patients may
enjoy sun bath has been made available
by the new arrangements. Special wards
have been fitted up for the care and treat
ment of alcoholic patients.
Connected with the hospital there has
been erected during recent years an isolated
building. in which scarlet fever. diphtheria
and other diseases of a contagious nature
excepting smallpox. treated. A home
for the nurses in the institution has also
been built within the hospital grounds
Within the past four years the improve
ments in the facilities at Providence Hos
pital have increased its accommodations
almost four fold. and as a result the tnsti-
tuition Is today OF the most complete
modern hospitals that can be found any
where in this country in foreign lands.

been taken in the construction of the build

In addition to the dispensary and special
operating rooms there IS a dark room in
this hospital used solely for examinations
of the eye. The most improved style Of
sterilizing apparatus has been installed and
the sprays used in throat disease cases are
operated by compressed air. carried through

Among some of the most delicate opera
lions are the cutting of new pupils In eyes
removing the lens of the eye to correct
ncarsightedness. and removing the cervical
sympathetic ganglion to cure glancoma, the
hardening of the eye ball, Many operations
have been performed TO cure half-sight, to
straighten cross eyes and for the removal
OF cataracts.
At this hospital the practice of tmplant-
ing hollow gold balls in the socket of the
eye 10 prevent the sunken appearance of
of the attending physicians, several years
ago conceived the idea OF implanting
a sponge in the socket Of the eye after
Its removal. This practice attracted wide
spread attention among the medical pro-
fessiou and ocCulsts generally began ex-
perimenting with various substances which
finally led TO the adoption of the hollow
gold globe as the support for the artificial
eye.
Difficult operations on the ear. involving
cutting through the thick mastoid bone
back of the ear have been performed at
this hospital, and in several instances
the ear drum has been removed. One of
the more recent operations on the ear per-
formed at this hospital, is removing the
ossicles. the little chain OF bones which con-
stitutes the miniature telephone line in
the ear Another interesting operation
performed at this hospital is the remedying
of the ''saddleback" or pug nose by in
jecting parahne under the skin, thus filing
up the depression.

Congress will provide the necessary funds
and proper provision can then be made for

the Washington Asylum Hospital because
of the lack Of properly isolated wards.

EVOLUTION OF
THE FISH HOOK


The art of fishing has undoubtedly ex-
listed since very remote times. for man evil
IDENTIFY was driven by hunger to catch fish
as well as TO hunt animals. The weapons
and implements used in other ages to hunt
mammals show considerable variety in
manufacture, and in the evolution OF such
weapons there has been noted some wonder
full changes. But the implements used by
fishermen today. and especially fsh-hoOks.
are not radically different from those used
by the ancient angler.
Implements of stone and a combination
OF stone and wood used in catching fish
have been preserved from ancient times
The invention of fishing paraphernalia did
not require the exercise Of any great inge-
nuity or mechanical skill BY watching the
fish snatch at pieces of meat. etc, in the
water, the early man evolved the idea Of
tying a piece of bait the end of line.
and later the fisherman tied a silver OF
wood on the end OF a string and STUCK the
wood through the bait.
This led to the use OF pieces Of bone or
wood sharpened al each end and stuck
through the bait. After swallowing the
bait the ends OF the wood caught in the
glls of the fish as the angler pulled taut
the line. This method is still used by the
Eskimos for catching sea gulls.
Practically the only advance in fsh-hooks
of this day over the rude original inven-
tons is in the Better material used. Fish
ermen along the lakes of Switzerland in
prehistoric days used hooks OF bronze fash
Toned very similar 10 the steel hooks used
in this day. Fish-hooks fashioned out of
the tusks OF wild boars were also used by
the fishermen who Piled their vocation
along the Swiss lakes
Bronze hooks. almost Identical in style to
thosc used now. were used by the anclents
who angled in Lake Morat. and clipped flint
hooks of ancient manufacture have been
found in Sweden. The aborigines of Wis
consin used native copper in the manufac-
ture of ish-hooks. and many of these i'm
plements have been found in the mounds
along the lakes in that state. The ancients
used much larger hooks. however. than
those employed by modern anglers. which
would Indicate that they fished for larger
game than do the fishermen of this age.
The addition of the barb on the sharp end
of the hook is a comparatively modern IN
yention.
In the improvement of fishing rods the
changes have been from the straight
branches of trees to bamboo. then 10 the
1oiuted rod and later the reels were added
as q part of a fishermans paraphernalia.
Nets have been used in fishing since remote
times

The George Washington University Hos

The force of nurses has been increased.
There has been considerable addition to
the dispensary accommodations in the hos

correcting deformities has been provided

A new administration building for the
National homeopathic Hospital has al
most been completed, at a cost of about
$4,000, and will be ready for occupancy
about the middle of June. This new build
ing has been designed with an eye to most
convenient arrangement for hospital pur
poses and when it is finished the hospital
will have almost double its present accom-
modations for patients. The new building
contains a large operating room, which Will
be fitted with modern apparatus The au-
thorities of this institution contemplate
the erection of two more wings TO this
structure, involving an expenditure of about
$lJ0O0O.
The completion this spring of the new
Casualty Hospital and Eastern Dispensary
at 217 Delaware avenue northeast supplies
a long-felt need of the northeast section of
the city This institution has been sup
piled with modern hospital apparatus, and
the appointment of the rooms is convenient
for the purposes for which they are in
tended. The new Casualty Hospital gives
special attention TO the treatment Of emer-
gency cases. but it also affords accommo-
datons for treating the sick.
General repairs have been made within
the past few years TO the Emergency and
Sibley hospitals and the Columbia Hospital
for Women, and each OF these institutions
has kept pace with modern hospital meth
DDS in the addition of surgical appliances
and in providing facilities for treating dis
eases of various kinds. The officials of the
