It is then an easy task to lasso him aboard. The best turtle divers in the Gulf of Mexicoare the Seminole Indians. They have been known to bring an 800-pound turtle froma depth of forty feet: but the Bahamians are even more daring and successful.

At present the same effect is more cheaply obtained by soaking the stuff in a colored mixture. Philadelphia Record. NEW EYE DISEASE. It Ina Form of Diphthe orted from aand Has Been ermany. A disease known as diphtheria of the eye has lately shown itself in the vieini- ty of Boston. As yet it has not gained much headway, but eye specialists are on the lookout for such cases, in the hope that its progress may be effectually checked. In conversation with a leading eye physician of this city a day or two since it was found that the disease up to the present time has been a very rare one, but a very few cases being known to him in the past eight or nine years in this part of the country. These, however, have in nearly every instance resulted in the loss of the member affected, and often in the loss of the entire sight. 55 The disease, which is considered a very serious one, is peculiar to Germany in the vicinity of Berlin, where many peonle have suffered from its effects. In nature it is precisely the same as throat diphtheria, and may be caused by com- ing in contact with that disease, person's eyes have been inflamed from any canse. At the present time there is one case under treatment at the Massaciusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, on Charles street, this city, the patient being a little girl; but, as it is a comparatively new case, hopes are entertained that it may not result serious! nd that her present impaired sight may be restored. The most difficult trouble encount- ered in the treatment of this disease by the specialist is to keep the unaffect- ed member tightly bound and hooded, that it may not draw the inflammation from the diseased eye to elf, for. if this should happen, there would at be ering. As yet there is no cause for extreme alarm, as most cautionary measures are | being taken to reach these cases before if the | all sore or | €itizen-So you think of locating here?
