I Melbourne papers chronicle the dreadful pligiht of a woman who was attacked by a swarm of bees. It jacetus that Mrs Amos Mi I ford, wife of a fruit-grower, whose house mid orchard are situated at Jlarcourt, walked into the garden, and, as she did not return, ty'cr husband went in search of her. He was horrified to find h'ifi wife prostrate on the ground with her head and shoulders black with a swarm of bees, which had evidently attacked and settled on the unfortunate woman. The bees were dirven off and medical assistance hastily summoned. Mrs Milford was suffering so greatly from pain und shock that her condition was regarded as very critic 1.

A likely suggestion is made by the Lancet to the effect that the great steamship companies should help themselves to the gold of the sea. Most steamships are eepjipped with an electric installation, and it would be ijuito an easy matter for them to start a system of electro-plating while at sea without interfering seriously with the progress of the ship. A couple of large copper plates suspended in the sea and connected with the dynamos would serve as electrodes, and collect the gold contained in the sea water during the voyage. At the end of the voyage the gold would merely havo to he removed troin the plates. The product might possibly cheapen the passenger rates, for on the estimate that a ton of sea water contains approximately one grain, the yield would amount to something like 200 tons of gold per cubic mile ; and. ■ as the volume of tho world's ocean is estimated at 400,000,000 cubic miles, the total possible yield of gold would be no less than 100,000, Woods' Great Peppermint Cure, lor Coughs and Colds never fails.
