RECoNsrRUCrIoN HOSPITAL.

The movement TO put the disabled
Industrial worker back on an earning
and productive basis has taken con-
crete form In the expansion OF the
Reconstruction Hospital, New York
City. The first hospital to bc dedicated

and others who have studied the sub
iect hnve advocated that the Recon-
struction Hospital b made the model
for similar institutions IN all indus
trial centres.
The problem Of the disabled worker
has grown to alarming proportions.
Based on the available reports Of State
compensation commissions, the esti-
mate OF the number disabled in in
dustry or suffering Industrial diseases
has been placed at 100000 persons
yearly. In New York State alone
there are a5o.ooo cases OF Industrial
disability and diseases annually, more
than all the American soldiers dis
ahlcd m the war. Hundreds OF thou
sands Of such patients arc discharged
from general hospitals annually to
mako room for urgent surgical or
acute medical csses- They are well
enough to leave the hospitals. but
many are not At to return to their
work. This makes public problem

Industrial States.
The primary object Of the Recon

that modern man can do anything II
leading some ambitious experimenfers
toward the long deserted aims OF the
alchemists.
For several centuries now. the popu-
| lar attitude toward tho medieval al
chemists has been ridicule. The phil
osopher's stone and the elixir OF hfs
were Jokes" Transmutation OF base
metals into gold was pronounced q
Ilegerdemain trick which some al
chemists derterously managed to put
over in the presence OF sullible kings
whose knowledge OF chemistry was
limited.
One historian explained that ths
medieval scholar could produce a con-
yincing Illusion by mixing In the
presence OF witnesses some compound
In which gold was secretly placed or
held invisible in solution, and then
bringing II forth by process simple
enough to the operator but profoundly
mysterious TO the bystanders."
The bearded old alchemists were
relegated TO o. sorry placs in history
and formulas were glibly quoted u
show Just how far off were the
theories OF the early philosophers from
the facts Of scientific chemistry.
But now, we have come round TO
more credulous era. so many
miracles have become commonplace
so many mysteries have been ex
planned, and so many modern expla
nations have to be periodically revised
that most learned men hesitate U

But eventually the ounce was used
up. Seton was dead by that time and

widow hoping that the Scot had left

Some of the alchemists did entrust
their theories regarding the philoso-

books explaining their discoveries, but

were worthless.

The birth Of modern science was the

wise men practiced it. But lately
science has begun to see something
more than humbug and wild guessing

piers.
