pied, a fact which may yitiate his title. He in
formed the State Department OF these facts but
neglected for many years 10 file the bond required
by the guano island laws IN the Treasury Depart

last year. In the time. finding deserted ISL

the guano There are believed to be twoscore Of
them now on the island, and the japanese Govern
ment holds that their title is good The japanese
warship carried the message from this government
to Rosehiu advising him TO offer no resistance,
and. as it probably will reach Marcus Island be-
fore RosehilPs schooner, which sailed from Homo
lulu, two thousand miles distant. IL 10 expected
that there will be clash between the schooners

island.
Recent adyices from Honolulu said Il was feared
there that international complications between the
United States and Japan would arise over the pos

Nero which was sent out by Admiral Bradford
for that purpose. On the outward trip from
Honolulu in distance of 4. 1872 knots S53 sound
ings, many of them two miles deep and several
over FIVE miles, were made, and returning by
zgzss course three times much work was
done, until perfectly feasible route was de-

To Float on Water,

Jacob Hess and Peter Yoos, two we'll
known artisans of this side, of an in
ventive turn of mind, have been at
work for some time on pair of shoes,
which are designed not only to float,
but to carry the wearer in safety on
water. The shoes, much like small
coffins in shape, are twenty-eight inches
in length and fourteen inches in
width, and are made of galvanized tin.
They stand ten inches hight, and re
perfectly air tight and water tight,
floating with great buoyancy.
In the center of each shoes is a
compartment where the foot is fas-
tened. although the wearer is able to
free himself in case of accident. A
pair of small paddles complete the out
lit.
The inventors proceeded to Mountain
Lack few days ago to try the patent.
the lake, and it did not take long to
discover that the shoes We're too short
and that the foot-holes We're too far
forward, causing the wearer to lose his
balance. A young son of Mr.. Hess,
however, had no difficulty in steering
across the lake, as his height about
corresponded to the length of the
shoes.
Messrs. Yoos and Hess gained val
liable experience in the trials, and will
continue their experiments and hope
to turn out practical pair of water
treaders.
