A man who prefers hunting to recreation borrows a dog from friends for the season. The “trained” dog leaps fences and performs back flips on cue, then disappears. He later discovers the animal was trained as a practical joke and is returned to his hosts after days of searching.
J King, a day laborer, sits as a member on the Yalbeach Urban District Council in Lincolnshire. He sacrifices part of his wages to attend afternoon meetings, a rare example of an ordinary worker holding such a post in England.
The czar likely holds more imperial china than any person, including pieces from all Russian rulers back to Catherine the Great. The items are stored in an immense closet in the Winter Palace at 8 Petersburg.
A Philadelphia Times remark links small eyes to cunning, noting the trait appears when needles are threaded with coarse cotton. The odd observation frames physical features as signs of character in a dated cultural comment.
A collection of humorous quips and exchanges from various papers. Jokes range from a fifteenth failed bill shot to a waiter quip about washing soup, a magistrate and interpreter exchange, a Glaswegian piano surplus note, and a highwayman suing for damages over only 11 cents.
A curious little animal is found in the chasm of Devil's Bite Wyoming. The creature is described as a gopher and is noted for its unusual location and emergence in this remote area.
A humorous description of a tiny gopher nicknamed the fleck gold gopher also called golden gulds and golden gopher. The creature’s tail glitters fifteen inches long and sways like burnished bullion. The piece muses on its golden fur and unusual origin theories from Golden Days.
An authentic French periodical reports at least twenty thousand aristocrats are imprisoned in Europe. Russia leads with twelve thousand noble detainees, and Italy ranks second in confinement of listed blue bloods.
A paper for the British Institute of Mining Engineers details the selective felling of a 226 foot tall brick chimney at Wallsend built in 1879. It describes removing one side and replacing with tar soaked blocks, then igniting a fire to topple the structure precisely toward a clear area, cutting costs and increasing debris recovery. The report also notes experiments on optically pure air and water, citing Prof. Spring and methods to purify water via colloidal precipitation and high tension effects.
A fragment notes Tyndall’s remarks on electrical methods and filtration, indicating that understanding required extensive experimentation rather than straightforward filtration theory. The text hints at early discussion of how electricity influenced chemical processes.
The Electrical World notes an odd phenomenon in Brussels where chestnut trees along a street turn brown and shed leaves in August then bud and blossom again in October after tramway electricity began.
