A QUEER PARASITE.
1t Attacks Only the Eye OF Africans VIII
Live On West

1t Attacks Only the Eye of Africans Who
Live the West Coast.
The natives of the west coast OF
Africa are subject to the attacks Of
one of the most rcmarlza BILE para sites
known to the scientific investigator
a colorlcsS, thrcadlil<e worm about two
inches in length, which affects only the
eyeball and the surrounding parts.
There have been at least two of these
queer creatures extracted from the
eyes of suffering huma nifty by Amer
lean physicianS--the worm in each ease
having been implanted while the suf-
ferer was a visitor to or a resident of
the Gold Coast" The creature
usually affects the cyebal1 itself,
literally swimming about under
the thin membrane of the iris,
but never affecting the vitreous,
aqeous or crystalline humors. Tho
case which furnishes basis for this
note was treated by DR.. F. J. Young
of Bridgeport. Conn.,, the worm being
removed from the top or outer skin Of
the upper lid. The patient in this case
was lady who had been a missionary
to Africa. She had had one removed
from the other eye while on her way
home bv the noted DR.. Hagler of
Switzerland. She told DR.. Young that
the natives of the west coast were
solely pestered by the parasites, but
that they seldom attempted to re-
move them, proba bly, on account of the
danger incurred in submitting to an
operation by native surgeon, who
uses nothing but crooked thorn in
dislodging the intruder.-St. Louis Re-

little village of small huts scattere d
round a long, low. one-storied build
ing, with a veranda running its whole
length. In this ihouse lives the man
who rents the island from the Gillian
government. and the village is made
up of a few German and Gillian fami-
lies.
The tiny town is called San Juan
Bautlsta. and the era ter-like arm of
the sea on which it is situated, and
where Alexander Sellirx first landed,
is now called Cumberland bay. The
island is rented for bout two hundred
pounds year. The rent is paid partly
in dried fish. Catching and drying the
many varie. les of fish, and raising cat
tic and vegetables. wholly occupy the
contented settlers. and much of their
little income is obtained from the cat
tie and vcgeta bleS sold to passing YES
sells. The cattle need no care. and the
vegetables almost grow wild. Turnips
and ratiiShes. first sown here by Sell
kirk himself, now grow rank and wild
in the valleys like weeds. There is
also Il race of wild dogs. which COM
pletcly overrEn the island, depending
for their existence mainly upon seals.
They are the descendants of a breed of
dogs left by the Spaniards.
At the back of the little town, in the
first high cliff is row of caves of re-
rnarlable appearance hewn into sand
stone. An unused path leads to them.

caves have since been slowly crumbling
