THE MARINE RECORD ! POUBIKG OIL ON TROUBLED WA¬ TERS. FrmlhtMaulkal OoitUi. SoHEnviLLK, Somerset Co., N. J. Tho subjoot of "Pouring Oil Upon Troubled Waters," Is one ot vast Importance to all ' thoso who go to sea In ships nmr do busi¬ ness upon thtfgroit waters, and yet compar¬ atively llttlo attention has been paid to it ex¬ cepting by n few enthnsiastlo scientists nnd Chemists, who were fascinated by the mar¬ velous results it produced, whllo experi¬ menting with the different oils, viz: fish, mineral, nnd vegetable. Thntcelcbratod an¬ cient philosopher, Pliny, appears to have , been the first ono to bring to tho notice of ^ tho world this wonderful property of still¬ ing the waves with oil, but tho Interest In It soon died out, and It was not until more modern tlmos, when Dr. Franklin attracted the attention of learned^nen to this romark- ablo agent, that It again came Into tiso among mariners. Until quite recently it lias been cither en¬ tirely unnoticed or trei ted ns fabulous, but by the energetic and eutorprlslug efforts ot John J. Shields, Esq.,ol the Wallace Works, Perth, Scotland, who discovered its wonder¬ ful Influence over the surface of water just by mero nccldent, whllo he wns superintend- ' lug tho exoavatlon of a fish pond, and to him nllcredtt and honor Is duo for having been the pioneer In brlrging It Into practical use at the North Harbor of Peterhead, Scotland, - and also nt Aberdeen. Lust year Mr. VI- nengo Fondnearo, of Montevideo, built him¬ self a throe-ton boatrto cross the Atlantic, in order to demonstrate what cnn bo accom¬ plished by a small vessel currying olive oil to lubricate the wnves. His safe arrival at ' Naples, Italy, won for him distinction, hfid he was invited by the king and queen to the royal palace to give an account of his re¬ markable passage, etc, The flshernion of Gibraltar were neons- - tomod to pour a little oil on the sea In order to still Its motion, that they might be oua- bled to see tho oysters lying at the bottom, which wero thoro very large. Might notour Yankee fisherman take the hint and go nnd do likewise? The fishermen of Lisbon, when about to return Into tho river, If thoy saw < too great a surf upon the bar, would emr. ty a bottle or two of oil overboard, which would suppress tho breakers nnd allow them to pass frcoly and In safety. Another'way of ob¬ taining tie same results Is some tunes re¬ sorted by French tlahermen on the "Banks," when thoy are laboring hard in a storm, aud I cannot'imagine why somo of om Intelli¬ gent Gloucester, Mass., fishermen do not try theBiime m-anj. Cutting open their codfish, they extract the liven and crush them to ob¬ tain the oil, after which they throw them over the sides, bow and stern. Tho oleagi¬ nous mattei soon sprends a thin skill or film of oil, forming a complete ring wound tho vessel, and prevents the sea from harming her. It has bie i observed thnt when seals are eating a very oily fish, which they In¬ variably do under jyjitor, the waves above are very smooth; and by this the fishermen know just where to find them. Fruit schooners trading betweon Groat Britain aud the Western islands, while run¬ ning before n gale of wind and high sea, nearly always carry two perforated canvas or leather bags filled with oil, and hang one over encli quarter, where the oil drips into tho sen, and dlltuslng Itself over the surface, Btnooths the waves. There are people in the world who do not believe that Christ's mlr- aclcs'wcrj wrought by anything more than natural power, and they toll us that wutei was made wine |ust by mere "chemical" aetion, in tho same manner that wine Is changed Into water. In the sartie way they would try to explain that the Groat Captain used oil to still the waves on the sea of Gal- Ulce, and thus make somo believe that the master brought about a calm sea by natural means, as thdjuechanioal aetion of oil on wa¬ ter seems almost n miraculous achievement. Tho calming eflcct of petroleum rising in the bed of a Mexican river, and carrlod cnit- to boh Is attested by tho fact that the spot Is called the oil pond, and is used as a harbor of refuge aud safety by small vessels, who run from tho approach of a storm to ride out the gale In ease and sccqiity. The oil forms a thick scum, tho effect ol which Is stated to be so great that even In tho most violent storms the sea Is comparatively smooth In tills spot. Not long since the Earl ot Car¬ narvon called the attention of Parliament to the eP'eot produced by pouring oil upon tho son in tempestuous weather, and Inquired what mongures the Board of Trade had adopt ed to tost the value ol recent experiments, nnd to fliicouiuffo u discovery vuluabte to lift aud property at sea. I think It i ow high tlmo thnt the Ameri¬ can government had Instructed the Life-Sav¬ ing Service to compete for prizes for the best achievements scoured by pouring oil upon the troubled-waters. If any reader doubf the efficacy of greasing the ocean let him tri the experiment, and I venture to eny he will bo highly delighted at tho result, ns tho writer has boon. Shipowners would do well to put a lew extra burrols of oil on board as a part of tho Hie saving apparatus. Tho English Insurance companies a^o likely to Swaynes ' fflSLfllOM All.
