SnnstrOkA.

This affection occurs more particu-
larly in the tropics. but is occasionally
observed in hot weather, in the temper
ate zone, in persons who are exposed to
the direct rays of the sun, and who have
at the same time to undergo exertion.
It is therefore chiefly seen in soldiers
marching during the heat of the day,
or in agricultural laborers who are at
work in the fields; yet it has been
known to come on at night, in persons
sleeping in the pestilential atmosphere
of overcrowded and badly-ventilated
barracks or cabins, and in nchildren shut
up in a sitting bedroom after having
been exposed to great heat during the
day. 1t would therefore be more ap-
propriate to speak OF heatstroAe, for the
disorder really consists of great and
sudden rise in the temperature of the
blood, which in this state acts as a
poison on the medulla The perspira-
ton of the skin is suddenly arrested, and
as the evaporation of sweat on the sur
face of the body Is intended to produce
cold, and thus to neutralize the effects
of the external heat, the closure of this
safety-valve causes a further rise OF
temperature which paralyzes some or
most of the centefs in The fledtllla. The
worst kind Of heatstroke is that in
which the eenters for respiration and
| the hearts action are affected, as total
| asphyxia or syncope is the result. A
person who may be walking in the
street or working in field is seen sud-
denly to drop down as If shot or stE1ck
| by lightning, and dies In minute or
| two. A fatal issue Is in such cases so
| rapid that there is no chance Tor any
| treatment to do good, more especlallE
as the means which would be of the
| first importance, viz, ice and plenty of
cold Water, are usually not at once at
| hand. The second kind ofsunstroke is
owing to paralysis of the center for the
! blood-vessels, in the medullas whereby
apoplexy is caused. In such instances
| the symptoms are not quite SO sudden,
and death may often be avert6ds The
illness begins with mental disturbances
| there are delusions and hallucinati0ns
| followed by mania, and the patient may
commit suicide or homicide. This stage
| Of excitement lasts for a short time, and
| is succeeded by a period of depression.
The patient becomes sleepy, insensibie,
and may die in d state Of profound apo
| plsxy. Life is, however, often saved by
| 'orenching the body with cold water
and applying ice to the head. The oyer.
heated blood is thereby cooled, and Chs
medulla reused from its torpid condf

4 Long Search for a Pirates Booty.

Noticing the death of one Edward D.
Marble, proprietor of !" Dungeon Rock, !"
adLynn, Mass, the Boston journal says ::
Mr. Marble was forty nine years of age
at the time of his death, and he has
spent the greater part of his life sifice
he was twenty years of age in excavat-
ing Dungeon cave in search of the buried
treasure in shape of coin, which it is
claifiied was the property of, Thomas
Veal, pirate, who was entombed alive
with his treasure at the pirates dun
geon, or st Dungeon reck as it is now
called. in the Year of 1868. A great
earthquake occurred in England in the
Nave looeened the top. rock over the
to be crushed down into the mouth Of
the cavern, and thereby inclosing the
unfortunate man and his ill-gotten
treasure.
Edward was not the prime mover in
bic, originatedthe enterprise and pushed
it forward un il he died His death
took place some ten or twelve years
since. Bequeathing the trust to Edward,
the latter has devoted more OF less Of
the time in carrying on the vain search.
They were firm believers in spiritualism,
and they sought guidance from the de-
parted as to how the labor should be
pursued. Twenty years have
passed since the father and son entered
upon the fruitless task, but up to the
last each was firm in the conviction that
the prediction that untold wealth was
hidden in the reck. and would be re-
vealed to the patient searcher, would be
found trjie.
a few old coins and number of
other small artic es have been found,
but nothing of great value has been un-
earthed. Up to the year 1863 the work
was prosecuted with much vigor, and a
cave 1876 feet long and with width and
height of seven feet had been made.
Since that time the work has been
pushed irregularly.
Mr. Hiram Marble came to Lynn
from Charleston, Mass. to engage in
this work of excayating, and he had a
capital of $500. This sum was soon
expended, and then to the time of his
death he depended upon the donations
of visitors. There has been several ac-
cidents while blasting at the place. and
in September, 1856. Edward Marble
had an arm broken and was otherwise
injured by premature discharge.
Now that both Hiram and Edward
Marble are dead, and there is no one
left in the family to carry on this work,
the question arises as to the future re-
lations of this romantic spot. identified
with which are SO many traditions OF
the earlief history of Lynn. 1t would
not he at all strange were some other
enthusiast to enter upon the work of
searching for the treasure under ghostly
guidance
