THE GOLF EYE.
A New Disease by which Players on the
Lississ Arc Liable to BE Attacked.

Golf is rapidly developing n peculiar
symptom among some OF its devotees
which, for the lack of better name, may
be called the golf eye" 1t is q peculiar
and perhaps unclassifled form of disease, il
indeed it can bo called disease and may
exist at any period OF golf players Ca
rcer. In brief IL is the faculty of seeing
an object without having the eye commu-
nicatc the fact TO the brain.
Take any golf course in the country and
let a person walk around it, keeping with
In tho playing bounds of the links With
out making any perceptiblo efforts at
searching, tho chances are that the pedes-
trian will be able to pick up several golf
balls Those same balls have been lost
during play and have occasioned the loss
of no end of time and temper TO the play
ers and caddies who have searched indus
triously for them. Tho chances are that
each golfer who lost bali saw the exact
spot where IL dropped and that his fore
running caddy was within n distance of so
feet of It when IL struck the ground. Yet,
Notwithstanding these facts, perfect
stranger to the location Of the ball may
walk around two days after IL was lost and
without search see the hall revealed To
his eyes at the very place the golfer anil his
caddies had tramped up and down in rain
for 10 minutes
Here is a case in point. A foursome
competition was in progress on the Pater-
son IN. j. clubs links q few days ago.
After poor drive, n good iron shot landed
tho first pair of tho first foursome over
the Boulevard and within about l5 feet of
the River hole green. The ball dropped
about 90 or 80 feet past the foremost fore
runner, and the two forerunners started
ont TO locate IL. The second pair got on
the green y, three minutes, and the fore
running caddics as well as the players and
carriers were looking for the ball. After n
fruitlcss search the first pair gave up the
hunt and lost the hole. About ten minutes
later a second foursomc started out. When
the forcrunning caddies OF this team got
up within about 90 feet Of the green, both
boys lit out simultaneously and made q
dive for little white object about 20 feet
away, and one Of them rose up triumph
antly with a new golf ball I'm his hand. IL
was the same which the preceding four
somo had lost. On several occasions balls
have actually been found on the putting
greens, lost by some golfer; but, of course,
these arc exceptional cases.-Now York

Place Yourself in This Position and You
Are All Right.


Here Ia something new and strange IL
the way of u cure for scasickness. its dis
covcrer explains tho physiological princi-
lies on which IL Is based.
Ho Is an lrishman, Thomas Moy by
name. Some years ago, when crossing the
Irish channel or board passenger steam
or, with very rough sea, 10 occurred To
him that as the motions of the vessel pro-
duccd scasichncss, IL might be possible To
so utilize such motions as to prevent that
disagrccablc malGdy. The vessel has three
kinds OF motion, rising and falling mo
tion of tic crtirc vessel; AN oscillatory mo
tion longitudinally about its center Of
gravity, ard n transverse rolling motion.
Ar. Moy treated the longitudinal motions
rs having tendency to drive matter, con-
trifugally, toward the head and stern, and
tho rolling motions as having a similar
tendency 10 drive matter outward from the
center OF such motions.
Now for dcrils. THE entrance 81 the
stomach" says Mr.. Moy, lis on the left
side OF the body, the csophagus end, and
the exit Is on tho right side, the pyloTic
orincc, and my experiment consisted In
utilizing tho longitudinal motions so as TO
Lccp the food In the stomach and utilizing
the rulliSy motions so as to assist the nat
ural operations of tho esophagus In pro-
pelling tho food toward the pyloric oriflcc.
This i effected by selecting n couch ar
ranged in line with tire keel lying with
my head toward the engine room and ly-
ing upon my left side" The experiment,
Mr.. Moy adds, was entirely successful, and
he has always adopted it In rough fCns,
when suitable berth could De- obtained.
IL would DC interesting 10 know whether
any one else has tried the remedy and, II

when another horse belonging to the
company gave out IN almost the same

on fire. lie was finally led into the
shade and ice applied to the head.
Both horses were lead to a stable, where
they will probably survive. A sug-
gestion as TO remedy for horse in

The Origin of The Kinetescope.


The wonders of Edison's invention,
the Kinetescope, is not dimmed by
the fact that the same principles are
involved in the construction OF the
Wheel of Life issued with The Bos-
ton Herald Of Sunday, April s..
The Herald has taken advantage of
the old Zoetrope-has modernized
and adapted it to the purposes of a
newspaper supplement, which it can
give to every purchaser. The sup
plement is the largest ever issued. by
any newspaper; is on heavy card
board, and is SO simple in its con-
struction that it avoids any complica-
tion. When made up it affords more
amusement to household than any
toy ever issued with any newspaper
in America.
The Wheel Of Life is peculiar
optical effect, and affords an amount
of scientific information unusual in
newspaper supplements. 1t can be
secured only with The Boston Herald
of April 5, 1896. Our readers should
place their orders early, and thus
positively secure this most desirable
newspaper novelty.
