ORIGIN of Spotted Fever.

Origin of Spotted Fever.
Marine hospital surgeons now say
that recent experiments prove that
the deadly spotted fever Of the Rocky
mountains is caused by the infection
OF ticks. This confirms a widespread
belief which has heretofore been con-
troverted By physicians.
Our New Volcanic Island.
Captain Hamlet of the revenue cut
ter Thetis reports that new island of
volcanic origin has appeared in Bering
sea within American boundaries. 1t is
one of the Bogaslof group and is still
so warm that no one has been able to
make a careful inspection of it, al
though the eruption which threw it up
occurred July 10. It is estimated to
be 600 feet high and Is situated about
155 miles west Of Unalaska.
Armstrong Attacks Radium Fad.
Professor Henry E. Armstrong the
distinguished London scientist, has
joined Lord Kelvin in u protest against
the proposition submitted to the Brit
Ash association that the production Of
helum from radium has established
the fact of the evolution of one ele-
ment into others. Professor Armstrong
says that no one has yet handled
radium in sufficient quantities to be
able to say precisely what it is. He
admits that helium can be obtained
from raGium, but points out that this
is no proof that the former is not
merely contained in the latter. He re-
marks that scientists in the radium
school appear to have cast caution to
the winds and to have substituted pure
imagination for it."

OIL ON TROUBLED WATERS.
An EHcc,ivc Remedy Thnt Has Long

a hundred and fifty years ago Benja-
min Franklin learned of II Dutch cap
tain who saved his ship from founder
ing by spreading n small amount Of oil
upon the waves which prevented their
breaking and of Portuguese fishermen
who made safe landings in the sirf by
similar device, says the Philadelphia
Record. kcenly Interested in every
thing that was scientific. and especially
IN everything that was useful. he gave
al the publicity he could 10 this infor-
nation. and he made with partial sue
cess the experiment of smoothing the
waters AT the mouth of harbor by
ciccting oil through perforated pipe.
One would suppose that the maritime
world would have seized eagerly upon
this device and no ship would thereaft-
or have gone to s.a without oil and the
means Of spreading II over the water.
Yet the maritime world paid absolutely
no attention 10 II. In the course of the
century following Franklin's obscrva-
tons two or three vessels were saved
by the Use of oil and made the facts
public. but other sea- captains and
owners were uninflucnced. About forty
years ago u captain posted In the Mari.
time Exchange In New York his sue
ccs>ful use of oil. AMI IT was treated
simply rs II sailors yarn or marine
curiosity.
About thirty years ago II ScOtchman
repeated Franklin's experiment at u
dangerous arbor mouth with complete
success Chambers journal took espe-
cial pains to give publicity 10 this and
to the use of oil by shlpmasters. About
twenty-five years ago two or three
cases of the use Of oil attracted general
attention and got into the magazines.
Twenty years ago the photographic
office Of the navy department published
a monograph on the subject. giving all
the information then available. and n
few years later paper on the subject
was read before the Franklin institute
