A farmer in Posey County muses over what animal hides in a small hole after poking it with a pole. He infers it is not bear fox coon woodchuck possum or pole cat, while his wife scolds the pastime and mocks his parsing. The scene ends with the quip that hindsight is better than foresight.
The U.S. Bureau of Mines stresses that effective mine ventilation requires ample air via large, steady airways and a constantly running fan. Do not place the fan over shafts or openings and avoid reversing it, as that can push inflammable gases toward fires or sparks.
The article notes the Great Wall remains in near perfect condition over a large stretch. Parapet bricks are firm, the top paving is bicycle friendly, and granite facing blocks fit tightly as they did over two thousand years ago. The wall stretches 1,400 miles, stands 22 feet high and 20 feet thick with towers about 4 feet high at intervals.
Medical Record cites an alternate theory from Doctor Guettich on cold water irritating the inner ear, potentially causing sudden paralysis and drowning. Perforated eardrums heighten risk, though some children with large holes swim safely. The piece also notes crocodiles’ prolonged underwater tolerance and seasonal burrowing.
Surgeons and students at Jefferson Medical College discuss a plan to form a jaw from twisted silver wire covered by the periosteum. The idea aims to grow new bone from the periosteum, gradually replacing the wire as the jaw strengthens, potentially improving swallowing and speech after jaw removal due to infection. The proposal posits staged wire removal as regeneration proceeds.
The American Camphor corporation secures a southeast Philadelphia site at Lehigh avenue and Edgemont street to pioneer gum camphor production in the United States. The plant aims for 25 000 pounds daily output, daily turpentine use, and five tons of glauber salts as a by product, with full operation by mid winter and substantial early use for celluloid manufacturers.
The article notes adults, including white men, dying from measles after close exposure to virulent infection. Outbreaks in logging camps show the germ overcomes ordinary resistance. It contrasts with claims of scarlet fever resistance among Chinese and higher susceptibility among Japanese, suggesting Polynesian or Malay admixture in Nipponese people.
