BLUE MOUNTAIN LION.
STRANGE Hybrid in California Causes
Offer of Large Reward for Capture.


For the second time in six months a
strange hybrid known as the blue
mountain lion has. made its appear
ance in the vicinity of Lake Lagunitas
ut the foot of the east slope of Mount
Tamalpais
Plunging into the center of a herd of
thoroughbred Holstein cattle owned
by A. w. Foster, the lion frightened
them into a mad run, which carried
them over a steep bluff into ravine
100 feet below.
Four of the animals were killed out
right and more than n dozen of them
crippled SO badly they were shot to
end their miseries.
On the occasion of its former raid
the beast was seen at close range by
County Surveyor George Richardson,
who described it as having the general
appearance of a mountain lion, but
with a head like that of lynx, and
being OF a peculiar blush color.-New

Poor Medical Schools.

DR. Henry S. Pritchett of tbs
Carnegie Foundation, which has q
fund of s14000o,Oo0 for educational
purposes, declares that the tremen-
dous resources of the foundation will
be used to whatever extent necessary
in a crusade against worthless medi-
cal schools throughout the country
that trade on the names of worthy in
situations under whose charters they
take refuge. Not long ago he att
tempted To dissuade a university OF
excellent reputation from lending lis
medical school in its state where
another medical school had been
brought to promising condition by
the union of three medical colleges.
1t was discussion of this case that
brought out his declaration. The
New York Times, in referring to the
matter says that the question of why
worthy Institutions permit the use of
their names in this way may be made
the subject of an investigation. based
on the premise that men in an official
capacity in the colleges concerned
reap large profits from the CONNER
cialized medical schools.
Comparing American medical schools
with those abroad, a report by DR..
Pritchett says: American schools
range from the highest to the lowest
conception of medical education and
medical ideals Side by side with
schools of the best modern type stand
other schools whose function is to get
the ill-trained and the unfit into medi-
cal practice by the shortest route
which the varying laws of our states
will permit.
This situation forms the most strik-
ing contrast between medical condi-
tions in America and in Europe. TO
remedy this condition we need. first OF
all, the education of public opinion to
the difference between medicine as
business and medicine as profession.
The public needs TO learn
that the maintenance of commercial
and defective agencies for the training
of physicians is blow at public health
and a betrayal of public interest; that
society can obtain full supply OF
men for the medical profession VINO
