A remarkable thing was the difference in the human fats of persons who had been affected with various diseases. ‘The fat of the consumptive, for 1n- stance, showed an entire absence of solid fat, while other strange conditions were noted about the fat of insane persons and the fat of a man who had drank himself to death.

Many gen- tlemen and ladies appeared in evening dress. Others who had just arrived in the city came in with their dusters on thelr arm. Dr. Grant Bey wore his fez, and a Chinese doctor wandered about attired after the manner of hiscountrymen in san- dals ahd tunic with flowing sleeves. The visitors promenaded back and forth, now and then joining in conversation and renowing old friendships, with the ‘sweet strains of the orches- tra situated on a platform near the center com- Dining to blend the sounds of indiscriminate Voices into a harmonious muriaur that, rose to the Toof and flosted down again only to be renewed, ‘The fountain in the center of the court lent cool- ness and diversion to the. medical atmosphere, Since there was no restriction at the entrances on the admission of any who desired to ‘come and See,” large numbers of Washingtonian laymen Were seen mingling with the happy throng, en- Joying the music and the beauty of the scene Just as much as the physicians.

Dr. Robert Reyburn makes an Argu- ment Against their Use. Dr. Robert Reyburn, of this city, read a paper Defore the section of military and naval surgery and medicine on the question, “Are wounds from explosive balls of such @ character as to justify international laws agaiust their user” ‘The proper discussion of the question, whether explosive balls should be prohibited by interna- tonal law, he said, 1s largely influenced by the ‘changed conditions of modern, as compared with anctent, warfare. In our day the perfection at- tained in the various forms of large and small rif_ed projectiles has been truly wonderful, and the destruction of human life tn the great battles per uation, ny rr Ue gloomy’ record of the history of wars, Would have little to'comfort his soul, were It not for the admitted fact that the improvements in the con- struction of the projectiies and Hrearms used 1p War have’ been accompanied with a marked ution, in the relative morvality of the combs a eats the battles ot modern om: ‘With the aficlent. “A battle in the days before the tuvention of gunpowder wag in a. Measure a succession of single combats, resulting eventually in the death of one of the combatants. Now, among civilized nations during wartare, when the enemy becomes disabled from wounds, he generally receives all the care and attention necessary in bis helpless condition, either from his comrades or often trom his late antagonists. ‘The chief endeavor in the battles of ancient times was to kill ag many of the enemy as possibie in a given Ume. The same end is attained in modern bat- Ues, but it bas been found that an enemy wounded suiliciently vo become hors du combat is practically much more a source of Weakness to bis comrades than if he were slain in battle. When he 1s se- verely wounded, not only 15 he as useless to the army as if he formed no part of it, but he has wants to be attended to that require the services of many men, who otherwise be employed in pottve duty ab soldiers. Humanity, which finds a jodging place even in the bosom of'“grim-visaged. war" demands that AMBULANCE CORPS stiall be provided for the carrluge of the wounded soldier to a place of safety; hospital surgeons, stewards, and nurses shall be engaged in attend. ing to him, while a large portion of the commis. sary’s and quartermaster’s departments has to be employed 1n furnishing Lim with needed suppiles ‘and transportation, Not only 1s this the Case at tue Ume he receives his wound, but this disability continues for Weeks and months, 1n fact du the entire period of Lis convalescence.

It is probably too low an estimate to state that every wounded man needs the services of two able-bodied men for bis care and sustenance until be becomes again fit for military duty. If, then, the object of modern war Js not the taking away Of life, but rather the dis abling and rendering unfit for active service of the enemy’s soldiers; why should the inevitable horrors of war be further aggravated? ‘The use of explo- ive ballsdoes not accomplish any more effectually the disabling of tie combatants, but converts slight wounds into grave and fatal injuries of vitalorgans, The characteristics of WOUNDS CAUSED BY RXPLOSIVE BALLS or bullets are great shattering of the bones at point of injury, with comminution of the frag- ments, the soft tlasues are extensively lacerated, with great destruction of the parts; this 1s fol- lowed by extensive sloughing.
