A rare diving spider forms a transparent air dome under pond weeds to breathe and live underwater. It lifts air bubbles from the surface, stacking them within a weed bowers to create a protective crystal-like dwelling, where it lays eggs and rears young. Nearby notes include a coffin story and various short items.
A composite note covers paint wear by sunlight and weather with tips, then a shop scene with a novice buyer misnaming elephant braid for Hercules braid. It cites eggs and wheat production figures from 1870 and 1880, a Washington fire department anecdote about a cow in a well, and a Chicago hotel guest praising Chamberlain’s cough remedy plus DeWitt’s Little Early Risers.
A collage of tiny items from a bygone paper includes a fable about two frogs in a cream pitcher who keep jumping until they escape, notes on burial or cremation preferences of French authors, a drought era coyotes drinking from melon patches in Oklahoma, a short exchange about a failed romance, and a local sales pitch praising Chamberlain’s colic remedy.
