Swimmers the Prey Of EeIs.

A remarkable story Of the seizure
of swimmers by cells comes from New
Zealand. A stream In New Zealand
was favorite bathing place because
the current was swift and strong.
Time after time the bather would be-
gin to shrek and splash on the SUR
face, would disappear before help could
reach him, and when his body had
been found 1t had invariably been eat
en- by cells. The cause Of the fatality
remained shrouded In mystery. for q
long time. but at length the true cause
was discovered that whilst the swim
mer was almost stationary in the rapid
stream huge eel would seize him by
the foot or leg and drag him down be-
meath the surface.
