' Lump-hlark anil li'inp-scrd oil varnish
The following experiment was the conse
quence ol the lire which was seen on board
ihe Russian frigate Maria, in April 1781 while
lying ut anchor in the roads, oil* the island of
Kronstadt, flic substance of which we have be
fore stated.
“As upon jud cial examination, ns well as
private enquiry, it was found that, in the ship a
cabin, where tho smoke appeared, (here lay a
bundle of matting, containing Russian lamp
black, prepared from fir-root, moistened w ill
hemp-oil varnish, which was perceived to have
sparks of tirciu it at the time of the extinction,
tho Russian Admiralty, gave orders to mako
various experiments in order to see whether a
mixture of hemp-oil varnish and tho aforesaid
Russian black, folded up in a mat und bound
together, would kindle of itself.
“ They shook torty pounds of fir-wood root
into a tub, and poured about thirty-five pounds
of hemp-oil varnish upon it; this, they let
stand for an hour, after which they poured oft’
the oil. The remaining mixture they now
wrapped up in a mat, arid the bundle was laid
close to tho cabin, where (lie midshipmen had
their birth. To avoid all suspicion of trea
chery, two officers sealed holli tho mat and tho
door with their own seals, and stationed a
watch of four sea officers, to take notice of all
that passed the whole night through ; and as
soon as any smoke should appear, immediate
ly to give information to the commandant of
the port.
The experiment was made the 26th April,
17S1, about eleven o’clock in the morning, in
presence of all tho officers named in the com
mission. Karly on the following day, about
six o’clock, a smoke appeared, of which tho
chief commandant was immediately informed
by tin officer; he came with all possible sped,
and through a small hole in the door saw IIjq
mat smoking. Without opening tho door, ho
dispatched u messenger to the members of tho
commission ; hut us the smoke became strong,
er, and tire began to appear, the chief com
mandant found it necessary, without waiting
for the members ol the commission, lo break
the seals and open the door. jN’o sooner was
the air thus admitted, than the mat began to
burn with great force, and presently it hurst
into a flume.”—Kmji. of .Iris and Sciences.
Sail cloth, ochre unilod—In the year 1757,
a sort of sail cloth called prelect, having one
side of it smeared witli ochre and oil, took lire
in the magazine at llrest, where it had proea-
bly kindled of itself.
11 rnip a.ul oil, and cordage.—Several fires
broke out iu a rope-walk and in some wooden
buildings at .St. Petersburg ; and in all the in-
stances not tho slightest trace of wilful tiring
could he found ; but there was lying in the
rope-walk, where the cables for the navy arc
made, a great heap ot hemp, among which a
considerable quantity of oil had been careloss-
