Painted Desert Wonders and Dangers in Northeastern Arizona
A vivid sketch from the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post describes the Painted Desert of northeastern Arizona as a vast sunbaked waste with vividly colored cliff strata, fossil wood turned agate, extreme daytime heat around 140 degrees, and almost no life except at night. Travelers face sand spouts, sandstorms, and stationary sandblasts, with heat so intense that thermometers break and bodily fluids evaporate.

Fires Serious in Russia Warns on Outdated Alarm System
A New York Sun report criticizes St. Petersburg fire alarms as primitive. One fireman oversees alerts from the city hall tower using balls in day and red lanterns at night. Delays reach 20 minutes to half an hour, hampering response as 74 engines and 1,027 firemen operate with slow, disorganized lines and houses stripped before fires. Russia loses about 15 billion in property to fires over the last century, averaging 150 million annually.
