A Mysterious Epidemic of Blindness," Ijeading physicians at Montreal, Canada, are greatly puzzed over a strange disease from the effects of which at least one resident and several sailors just arrived, have been stricken with blind ness. Early during' a recent morning Policeman Rutherford became 'totally blind while doing patrol duty. The ease was considered mysterious, but tho phy sicians at the hospital where be wast taken consider it duo to nicotine poison ing, as Kutberford was-an inTeterato smoker. The mystery in this case was intensified, however, by similar casf-s made public a few days after. When tho bark Thomas T. Marshall arrived from the Philippine Islands the Captain was astonished when informed that one of the crew was stone blind, the attack being exactly similar to that of Rutherford. The man was immediately conveyed to the Notre Dame Hospital. During the course of the evening several other sailors on board complained of dizziness in the head, but they considered it was due to over-exertion during the day, and that they would sleep it off. Next morning the Captain was further mystified when informed that more ol the men had lo3t their sight. Vijiting the forecastle he found the sailors greatly excited, and four cf them named Frederick Nordfeldt, A. MalgulfrofT, T. Manfough and C. Lewersori were sight less, while some others wers partially in I the same condition. I These were all re- moved to the hospital. I rm t. :J. - i ne pnysician coasiuer me case a mot extraordinary one, which cannot be accounted for, rs therr firt theory that it was due to tudden change of climate would not hold when tfcj case of the policeman is considered. A leading pby sicin :d th.it the blindness might po6ibbrie doe to something in the air, as th- atmosphere has been peculiar for some time. Ci&einidiii Enquirer. Says, Saids and Tlut.

A Wild Turkey Scheme. The wild turkey is a bird that has almost disappeared from the face of the earth. But it will be comforting to sports men to learn that there arc still sections of the country where this gamesome and toothsome fowl abounds in com para rively plentiful numbers. Such i said to be the case in some parts of Misissippi. But it the record recently made by an old hunter down there is kept up, the supply will not last long. The hue ter in ques tion enticed a flock of turkeys into a lonely place In the woods by scattering corn on the ground. This operation wis performed several days in succession until! nineteen nice fat birds formed the habit of reporting to the place for their daily brraksast. He then laid for them, ami ons morning fired into the rlook, killing eighteen outright at one shot. The nine- teenth escaped with a broken wing.

Marrin with a natural gas flame at Iluthren , Canada, a few days ago, is one that fire department authorities everywhere should take into immediate consideration as fur niahing a clew to additional means of fighting that dreaded element. Tho stream of natural gas issuing from tho well there caught fire and all efforts to extinguish the flame were- unavailing. The neat was so intense that no one could go near it. Water thrown from the nearest point of vantage by power ful engines had no other effect than to generate-great clouds of steam. The roar of the burning gas was deafening and 11,000,000 feet per day were being con sumed, while the earth about the well wa3 becoming baked and so hot that no one could tread on it. Engineering skill proved useless to cope with tho mat ter and finally a reward of $1000 was offered to any one who would stop the leak. . Martin volunteered. At first ho tried to reach the orifice with long iron levers, but they melted as soon as they came near the place where the gas was burning.' Then the young man hit upon a bright idea. He revived to walk into the fWy furnace clad in a complete suit of that wonderful material, asbestos, which though fine and pliable as the softest silk, will neither be consumed by fire nor conduct heat. The suit was made, including a cone-shaped hood with a gl&sj front to envelop the head. Tho first attempt was a failure. IJefore Mar tin got near the flame he accidentally dropped his "tools on the ground and saw thorn turn red hot before his eyes. The second attempt was successful. Tho man came out slightly scorched and partly sulhx-atcd, but otherwise un harmed. Asbestos liad lKcn his protec tion and it can readily ix; understood that a fire department with employes cquipied in similar clothing would have tmmen&e adT-ntages in fighting fire. No Turk Graphic.
