The London Lancet suggests the follow
ing simple treatment for felons :--"As
soon as the disease is felt, put directly
over the spot a fly Ulster, about the size
Of the thumb-nail, and let il remain for 6
hours, at the expiration Of which time,
directly under the surface Of the blister
may be seen the felon, which can instantly
be taken out with the point of a needle or
a lancet" A piece of adhesive plaster
win keep the blister IN place.

the air.
With cry Of terror they rushed to the
boats and rowed back to the ship. Two
life-boats were manned, and some instru-
ments and provisions hastily thrown in.
All hands then started for the entrance,
determined to force their way out.
The storm had subsidized two days before,
but the sea was still raging near the rocks.
The spray dashed over them many times,
and once they despaired Of their lives, but
after long struggle with tho waves they
reached the open sea, nearly exhausted.
1t was many hours before the awful roar
of the surf faded from their ears. The
effects Of the petrifying mist which had
filed their lungs in the bay proved nearly
fatal. Each day they grew brewster, and
at last their limbs would scarcely move.
Fortunately they were able to reach the
track Of the whaling vessels, where they
were soon picked up.
During the voyage, and long after
reaching New Bedford, the unfortunate
sailors could not walk, and until last month
they complained Of stiffness in their joints.
1t is probable that their narrative would
never have been believed, had not Capt.
King wisely brought away one of the
lady's arms and the ships papers.
If any doubt existed on behoding the
former, the recent experiments Of Prof.
Haddox, of New Haven, have convinced
the most skeptical of the truth of the Cap
tain's story.
Two months ago the Professor begun
series Of experiments, and after many dis
couraging failures, he finally discovered n
process by which petrifactions could be
reduced to liquid. Then he immersed
the ships papers in a chemical solution,
and, marvellous to relate, the stony coating
was dissolved ina single night. The next
day the documents were copied and trans
lated by Spanish expert.
Space alone prevents transcript Of the
log from appearing in these columns; but
the curious will be pleased to learn that
the name of the unfortunate commander
was Don Ferdinand Gonzales, and that
the lady, who was his betrothed, bore
the name of Isabella Maria de Garcia
They were bound for the coast Of Peru.
when they entered the fatal bay for fresh
water.
As soon as Capt. King heard Of Prof
Haddox's success with his experiments, it
occurred to him that the liquid might
benefit his men. So he sent for some, and
since taking it, they have found new life,
while the Captain says that he has recov-
cred all the buoyancy of his youth. A
company of scientific gentlemen propose
to visit the bay under guidance Of Capt.
King, and with this solution they hope to
restore the rare aud curious articles on the
ship. The bodies will be brought away,
but as Nature has embalmed them, they
will not be profaned by the experiments
Of man.
The papers and the lady's arm are on
exhibition in the New Haven Museum.
The first and third fingers of her hand are
ornameuted with costly rings, covered
with Spanish gems. 0ne of them bears
exquisite tracings, representing incidents
in the Moorish wars of Graneda. err this
story be fact, it reads very much like fic-

Ply the accounts Of the French losses in
the campaign Of 1870 and 1871, prepared
by Dr. Chenu. Comparing the French
