Nature of Disease. (concluded from first paired lections by this one ba alius (nec rosis bacillus) are often hr- u dit to gether under the term necrobacil lo is. Other names which have been given the disea e are a ute dermatitis in New Zea au , ini et igo labia!is iu Canada, or • usto ! libia'i and cont-igiou pu tular; dermatitis i 1 En ;■ and a ,d S •> tia. d 1 and teignimi an i nia ogrui d m| Germany. This disease also exi.-m j in the We t lud.es N'e.v Mexico, j Oregon, Kan-as, Montana, Virgin ia, Maryland, and probably other sections of the United States. The iesion-t of tne ear.y stager, usually appear as au acute intia mation af the skin on the outside _ of tin 1 lips. This piuiple-like for mation is attended with much iu flnmatory swelling with a decided tendency toward the formation of pustules. They dry and form crusts of a dark-grayish color and of a' fungoid appearance. The gvowtha extend rapidly and become in the course of a few days continent, forming a large dill used scab which is found when removed to cover an ulcerative surface. Simultaneous with this the lips become tumo lien, swelling to two or three times their normal thickness. The appetite usually remains good, but the ani mals feed with difficulty owing to the sensitiveness of the affected parts. In sonic cases the scab ex tends from the lips up over the cheeks between the eyes, and ni times a muco-purulent nasal ois h discharge appears which adhere the nostrils, and together with tin swollen condition ot tue surroivu ing tissues causes a more < complete occlusion of the air pa . sages, resulting in labored breath ing upon exercise. S (Concluded next week.) How Sea Lions Capture Gulls. The sea lion displays no little skill and cunning in capturing gulls. When in pursuit the sea lion dives deeply under water and swims sonic distance from j where it disappeared; then, ris-j mg cautiously, it exposes the tip ; of its nose along the surface, at i the same time giving it a rotary motion. The unwary bird near by alights to catch the object, while the sea lion at the same moment settles beneath the waves and at one bound, with ex tended jaws, seizes its screaming prev and instantly devours it.
