Deep Sea Bathometer and Suffering Shipwreck Tale
A 1869 Tipton column mixes humor with science news. It describes a new bathometer by Morse heirs for deep sea soundings, detailing its glass floats and mercury register, and contrasts it with older line sounding. A Paris letter recounts a shipwreck survivor’s harrowing, cannibal ordeal and arduous voyage to safety after years at sea.

Great Sunk En Lake Sighted in Cascade Mountains
The Sentinel reports a party returning from a visit to a vast sunken lake in the Cascade range about seventy five miles northeast of Jacksonville Oregon. The lake seems two thousand feet deep around its shore with near perpendicular walls and a surface undisturbed by air currents. It measures roughly twelve miles long and ten miles wide and may remain unreachable.
