Careless Campers.

A party of Nebraskans travelling
through the Hills by private convey
ance, camped on the Sylvan lake road,
three miles north of this place on
Thursday for dinner. Upon leaving
camp they carelessly left a burning fire,
which soon spread in the surrounding
underbrush, and, had it not been dis
covered, would have resulted in a very
damaging timber fire. As it was it was
by the greatest effort on the part of a
party going from this place, that the
damage was averted. There was plenty
of water near the camp, and it would
have been ar easy matter for the
campers to have put out the fire upon
leaving the camp, and the fact that they
poured ont their dish water within a
few feet of the fire instead of pouring it
on the fire would indicate that their
conduct was more malicious than care
less. The parties are known, and steps
are being taken to bring them to an
accounting for the extremely careless if
not malicious proceeding.

70 Make The Blind Sec.

A very important discovery made by
DR.. r. Deutschmann of Hamburg is
Just now much spoken OF by physi-
clans, particularly by specialists on
the eye. It deals with the successful
cure of disease of the eye, which but
a short time ago was considered abso-
lutsly incurable, the so-called detach-
ing or peeling of the retina, which
sometimes follows case of retinitis.
This disease consists in the shrinking
of the aqueous humor, watery,
slightly salty fluid which lies between
the oornea and the crystalline lens
with the greater part of its substance
in front of the iris. IF the quantity of
this fluid is lessened to certain ex-
tent the eyesighti is absolutely destroyed
and the physician, can do nothing but
pronounce the disease incurable. Now
Professor Deutschmsnn has succeeded
in introducing into the diseased eye
sufficient amount of theaqueous humor
taken from live rabbits eye to restore
the lost sight Several cases where
this most delicate operation was per-
formed are on record, the one of o
purser on one of the steamers of the
Hamburg-American line being most
interesting. This man, totally blind
three years ago, was able to resume his
former occupation after undergoing
the operation just described, and, the
Philadelphia Record says, his sig ht
is just as good as it was at any time in
bis life
