4 NUMBER of thermometers, which had

A NUMBER of thermometers, which had
been long time in use, were recently
brought to an English maker of scien
tific instruments, to be graduated. 1t
was found that every one of them indi-
Gated temperature lower than that
which really prevailed, and he at once
set about ascertaining the cause of this
error. A series of experiments devel-
oped the fact that it lay in the peculiar
form of the bulb of the thermometer.
According to the views at which he ar
rived, this form is such, that while an
increase of heat expands it, CORE
spending diminution of heat does not
contract it in an equivalent degree.
Consequently the bulb is constantly
undergoing very slight and gradual
enlargement, and thus the standard Of
the thermometer is lowered.

ing beaten by America in the manufac-
ture of axes, shovels, hoes, and other
manufactures Of the kind. The Pitts
burg steel, both cast and rolled, is fully
up to the best English-in fact, to such
a degree that it is not only supplanting
our produce. but in every shape of tool
it is being exported to the European
continent. American bolts and hinges
excel ours, and medium and American
cutlery of all kinds is cheaper and bet

the London Times of edge tools: "The
manufacturers of the United States can
import iron and steel from this country

All their summer leisure take;

How a Whole Family Became Blind.
Broom the Cambridge Mass Herald.


There lives family in Dorchester
county, every dark-eyed member of
which for the past fifty years has gone
blind at the age of 20 to % years.
Those with blue eyes escape the terrible
affection. There is a tradition about
this singular circumstance, which we
lay before our readers as we heard it :
Some sixty years since, so goes the
story, a beautiful black-eyed girl Of 20,
from some cause or other, lost her eye
sight. Her misfortune brought penury
and want with it, Being reduced to
beggary, she was won't to go about ask.
ing aims. During one Of her journey
ings she visited the neighborhood in
which resided the ancestors of those
who are now sightless. Instead of her
helpless condition exciting, as it should
have done, a feeling of sympathy, she
was treated with ridicule by some of the
younger members Of the house her evil
star had led her into. Two of the boys,
as a matter Of mere deviltly, took her
out, promising to conduct her to place
where plenty awaited. Instead of Civ
ing her safe conduct, they carried her
into swamp and left her. 1t is said
that she cried out, beseeching them to
put her on the public road, but they
needed not her lamentations. Finding
herself about to be deserted among the
tangled brushwood, she turned her
prayer to a curse, asking her Maker, in
her revengeful anguish, to punish her
betrayers, by making their offspring for
seven generations as helpless as she was
1t is said that she was found dead in the
swamp, having persisted from hunger
and cold. This may appear somewhat
romantic, but whether the Evolutionary
part of it be false or true, it is assuredly
a fact that the male offspring of the
family referred to lose their sight as in
dicated. Hundreds of persons in Dor
chester county will verify it.

The OHIO RIvER.-The recent report
of the United States Engineer Corps on
the improvement Of the navigation of
the Ohio river, says that the system
heretofore adopted Of building rip-rap
stone-wing dams, and guiding the water
into comparatively confined channels,
though beneficial and useful, especially

the requirements for the thorough i'm.
provement of the entire length of the
Ohio river. All that the present system
will accomplish, it is asserted, will be to

cable, and that what is required is con-
slant, reliable navigation at all times,
never less than five feet at extreme low
water. The plan now proposed favors
the construction of locks and dams. The
total fall between Pittsburgh and Louis
vile is 30S feet, requiring 81 dams and
81 locks, with n lift of six feet each.
Between Louisville and Cairo, it is cal.
culated. ID dams and l5 locks would be
required, making total of &C locks and
dams for the entire length of the river,
967 miles. The dam on the upper Ohio
should have length of 800 feet, and
the one on the lower Ohio should be
1900 feet long, while the other dams
should each be 800 feet long. On this
plan the locks between Pittsburgh and
Louisville could be built at an expense
