THE MARINE RECORD 3 A 'TERRIBLE STORY. From the Houghton Mining Gazette, A terrible story of suffering reached here by way of Eagle Harbor, which, if true, shows criminal carelessness or neglect on the part of the goverement authorities. The keeper of the Passage Island lighthouse, ly- ing directly northeast of the Isle Royale, concluded to winter on the island. His family, 80 report say, consisted of himself, wife, child and father, Several weeks since the father was taken sick, provisions began to run short, and the son started in a boat for the adjacent island to secure supplies and a doctor, if possible. Over three weeks have gone by and no tidings have been heard of the missing man. Several days since a boat passing in the vicinity noticed a flag of dis- tress flying from the island, and upon in- spection found that the father had died from lack of proper medical care and starvation, and also the child dead from starvation, ‘The mother was also in a pitiable condition, und must inevitably have met with a like fate but for the timely arrival Care was taken of the bodies and supplies left with the wo- man, after which the boat proceeded on its way. Since that time nothing has been heard from there, but it is hoped that some of the steamers arriving at Houghton, will be able to give further particulars. en SWELLED RIFLE BARRELS.—A board of offi- cers, with Captain Greer as president, has tested a lot of rifles at the Springfield armo- ry to determine the cause of the bulging of the barrel, which occasionally occurs in practice. ‘I'hey tind it due to the fact that the muzzle has been stopped by san¢l, cnused by resting the muzzle in wet sand, or in dry sand after the gun has become foul from firing. ‘This arrests the passage of the ball. go that the pressure is increased at the. point of swelling. It is curious that sand pro- duced this result where wooden plugs driv- enin tightly and swelled by steam, failed to do so.— Ord. Notes, U. S. A., no. 238, Feb. 1. DIFrrusion ENGINE.—At a recent meeting of the London Physical Society, Mr. Wood- ward described an experiment illustrating motion. prcduced by diffusion. A porous reservoir of clay containing alr was suspend- ed from one end of a weighted balance beam, A- glass tube projected from it below cand dipped into a vessel of water. A jet of hy- drogen gas was allowed to play on the out- side of the reservoir, and the balance beam Degan to oscillate. ‘This is un adaptation of Graham’s well-known experiment, and is, in fact, a diffusion engine —Scieatific Ameri= cans ' oo HISTORY REPEA'S LISELF. In the olden time any person afilicted with any sort of scrotulous disease was regarded with holy horror and 30 intense was the su- perstitious dread of such people that they were driven out of the country and made to live among themeelves. ,Such disorders are, as prevalent to-day as they were fifteen bun- dred years since, but public feeling is more charitable. Besides Swayne’s ointment tor skin diseases has been introduced and the afficted are being healed. MANUFACTURERS OF - ELASTIC MIXED PAINTS.
