Improved resilient tire material from German chemist Pflumer
A German chemist Herr Pflumer of Dresden invents a gelatine glycerine and air compound for tires. The pale yellow elastic material forms a sponge like substance with air cells and resists puncture while remaining lightweight. It promises longer life for outer covers and could cushion car seats, using a canvas tube or rims to fit standard tires.

Singing Sands in New South Wales Produce Musical Notes
The Singing sands of New South Wales form a hard angular grain substance that squeaks when struck, puzzling researchers. A suggested cause involves absence of very small grains, though distinguishing such grains remains difficult. An analogy notes a china cup slipping on a saucer due to microscopic glaze particles acting like rollers, with liquid stopping the slip.
