The Gainesville wheeImen nave aban-
doned the idea of building bicy Gle path
to Newnan's lake, and have centered
their Efforts on the construction OF
path to Alachra Sink. This is thought
to be the more practical idea OF the two.
Tie sink is about three miles south of
Gainesville, and the rock road leading
toward the cemetery could be used. A
great advantage is that the rock for the
path lies near the route. The distance
is about one-half Of that to Newuan's
lake. The cost of path to the latter
place would have been $1,000 at the
least calculation, and the path now pro-
posed can be built for little more than
$500, most of which has already been
sub cribed The scenery at the sink is
as beautiful as any in any part OF the
state, and, with little work, path
could be made there.
The cyclers of St. Augustine of which

men are either compelled to take the in
side road to South Beach, which has not
been worked up thoroughly, or else 60
| on the train before being able to run on
the hard beach. This condition OF al
| fairs is caused by narrow lagoon about
one-third of the way between the jetties
and Jack Mound. While this is great
inconvenience to the bicyclists, it also
deprives those riding in carriages OF a,
least two miles of the beach drive. Sew

for the Purpose.

New York, Nov. 1S.-Richard Van
Romer, a 16-year-old boy, has under
gone a peculiar operation, performed
by DR.. T. II. Chambers, of Jersey City.
The operation consisted in grating a
piece of skin taken from the patients
thigh into the cavity of one Of his eyes,
which had been destroyed by molten
lead several weeks ago.
The lead burned the eyelid half way,
and so badly damaged the tissues sur
rounding the eye that in order to in
sert glass eye to lessen the difgure-
ment the operation was resorted to.
DR.. Chambers, when he discovered
there was not sufficient tissue in the
eye to hold the false eye, resorted to the
Thiersch grating. rare and difficult
operation. A piece of the epithelium
layer on the boys right thigh was care
fully cut away, and an incision made
in the eye socket. A common bone but
ton covered with antiseptic gau2e was
then inserted into the cavity. the piece
of skin being stretched over it, and the
whole bound firmly In the socket until
union took place.
DR.. Chambers said that. curiously,
whenever'the boy was struck over the
scar in his thigh he felt a severe pain
in his injured eye.

RELIGIOUS MANIA IN A FAMILY.
Extraordinary Alteration Of Parents
and Fifteen Children.

BoYmanville, Ont, Nov 1S.-An ex-
traordinary case of religious mania is
reported from farm house near the
Long Sault, where for a number of
years Elijah Rice, his wife and fifteen
children have resided.
The eldest son, Louis, aged %, re-
Gently became insane and announced
himself as the prince of the sand hills"
and declared that Christ had appoint
ed him to reform the world. The man.
ia extended to the father, mother and
the other children, who neglected the
farm and spent their time singing and
praying.
Recently the father conceived the
idea that Louis was pursued by the
devil and that he must be beaten out
of him. Louis was knocked down with
leg of q chair, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Rice and two sons pounded him into
insensibility. When this was accom-
plished they were satisfied the devil
was driven out.
Their next move was to celebrate
the Feast of the Passover, and one of
the little children was to be sacri-
feed as the "Paschal lamb" One of
the sons, a mere boy, told this to
clergyman, who informed the police.
On visiting the farm they found Rice
and his son, Louis, suffering from in
tense mania, and had them removed to
Kingston insane asylum. The doctors
say the other members will recover.
