Bean vines and amber fireflies in a southern letter
A veteran writer compiles a long missive recalling a giant bean grown by Tack, Civil War memories with Georgia roots, and musings on plant movement toward the sun. The piece shares observations on fireflies, spider webs, and a lecture by Wendell Phillips, then shifts to farm life noting blackberry and horseradish jelly, and a poor woman caring for children while her husband is in the chain gang.

New Flying Machine by Dr Danilowsky Captures Imagination
Russian engineer Dr K L Danilowsky, living in Charkow, has developed a vertical cigar shaped flying machine that ascends and descends without ballast loss, maneuvers against the wind by tacking, and returns to earth in its original condition. Tests reportedly reach 300 feet, with precise controlled descent and hour long flights, and the device may be adopted by the signal corps.
