This institution, incorporated under the laws of the United States, is under the auspices of the American Hospital, which has long been estab- lished in Paris. At the beginning of the war, Ameri- cans in Paris, still inspired by the work of the American ambulance in the Pranco-Prussian war of 1870, con- ceived the idea of establishing a hos-. pital for wounded soldiers, irrespec- tive of nationality. Hon. Myron T. Herrick, the American ambassador to France, lent his aid and encourage- ment and was largely instrumental in the successful achievement of this purpose. At the beginning, th'e board of gov- ernors of the American hospital ap- pointed a committee of five prominent residents of Paris to raise funds' and organize and administer the new hos- pital, giving them the fullest powers to this end. Special departmentswere organized with American specialists in charge. An example of this is the dental department, under the direction of Drs. Hays and Davenport, who col- laborate in the treatment of wounds affecting the teeth and jaw. The French government placed at the disposal of the committee in charge of the work a large and near- ly finished school building, known as the Lycee Pasteur, just outside the walls of Paris. By September this building had been transformed into a modern hospital and was ready to receive patients. It was thoroughly equipped with X-ray apparatus, path. 'ological laboratories, and all the lat- est appliances known to medical and surgical science. Beginning with 170 beds, the hos- pital now has 440, and an additional 200 at Hospital B at Jouilly. During December the building was 86 per cent filled,' and in January, 88 per cent. It is doubtfulawhether any other hospital in Paris during the present war has shown such a large percentage of its capacity utilized. Very quickly the hospital, which is operated under the direct authority of the French minister of war, gained a splendid record for efficiency. The most difficult cases have been sent there, but the mortality has been only 7.90 per cent, a remarkable record when it is remembered that almost all the patients entering the hospital are suffering from some kind of in- fection and that gangrene and tetanus have been much more prevalent dur- ing this war than was at first antici-I pated. The hospital is organized in two divi- sions under the charge of Dubouchet and Dr. Blake respectively, and a third division is in charge of well, known surgeons from the United States, serving in rotation. In addition to the base hospital in Paris, the "Ambulance Americaine" has organized an "advanced" hospital, known as Hospital B, at Jouilly, about 30 miles nearer than Paris to the battle-fields. This hospital has a ca- pacity of 200 beds, was instituted and is maintained through the generosity of Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney; and is under the charge of Dr. Walton Mar- tin, of New York.

Phone No. 1.(* The forestry department has re- cently received a practically complete set of sections of timber species exist- ing in the United States. Complete. sets are extremely rare and are pos- sessed by only a few institutions in this country. The species are thin and square and are cut radially and tangentially. The purpose of sets of this kind is to aid in wood identification. Many times during the year the forestry de- partment is called upon to decide on the merits and quality of wood used by business firms. The department has been of great help in protecting the lumber dealers of the state from' frauds, and with the new equipment itl is thought that its efficiency will be greatly increased.

Having Itobson is a clever comedienne who the natural advantage of very gen- h as won distinction in many produc- erous proportions, and the acquired tios, but surpasses herself in this advantage of long and successful ex- success written by Anne Warner. For perience, the comedienne at no time found difficulty in being funny. One of theliveliest scenes came in the second act, when, thanks to the exigencies of the plot, the aristocratic society leader Mrs. DePeyster is spi- rited to Mrs. Gilbert's popular-priced East-side boarding house, where the rule is "that guests may not whittle pickles." Here the heroine, who is Mrs. Gilbert's housekeeper, was able to combine acrobatic novelties with exceedingly clever and trite lines. The result was a continuous round of mer- riment, which on the whole was evi- dent all throughout the play. The book, by Leroy Scott, offers ma3ny amusing situations of which the most are made.
