The history of Hawaii is partly illustrated by a model of a village 

 of the early inhabitants, who lived in grass- thatched houses grouped 

 in villages, presided over by a chief and a priest. With this exhibit 

 there is also shown a large ethnological collection brought together 

 by Mr. N. B. Emerson as the result of many years' work. The 

 church, settlement, and school work of the Hawaiian Evangelical As- 

 sociation is set forth by a series of photographs of their buildings. 

 A life-sized famil}^ group, oil paintings, photographs, and a number 

 of objects depict the habits and customs of the Samoans and the in- 

 habitants of Guam and the Marianne Islands. 



The history of photography begins with the earliest permanent 

 photographs and includes examples of nearly all of the most important 

 discoveries and inventions up to the present time. Many of the ob- 

 jects were made by the inventors of the processes and others in the 

 Museum laboratory. The collection of colored photographs is espe- 

 cially fine, commencing with the tinting, followed by an elaborate col- 

 oring of the photograph by hand, and the patented processes for 

 transferring the film to a colored base, which finally led to the 

 almost perfect photographs in color, as made by Ives, Wood, Lipp- 

 mann, and Miley, and the autochromes produced in the Museum 

 laboratory by Mr. T. W. Smillie. 



The history of medicine, prepared by Dr. J. M. Flint, U. S. Navy, 

 consists mainly of photographs and biographical sketches of noted 

 physicians, beginning with the time of Capt. John Smith and end- 

 ing with the twentieth century. The experiments conducted by Major 

 Walter Reed for the prevention of yellow fever in Cuba in 1901 are 

 also illustrated.
