Terrible Temptation of a Cannibal Encounter on Africa
An old English doctor recalls a perilous trek in African jungle while on a trading voyage. He lost his compass, endured two days with near starvation, and narrowly avoided cannibal broth when he stumbled upon a boiling group of natives. The tale ends with his dramatic escape back to the coast and lingering moral gloom.

It features a single track with a tongue and flange wheel design, very low engines, and four bearings to prevent derailment on tight curves.

A Vivisector in Africa Despoiled of Five Thousand Dollars
A Lewiston Journal tale recounts Dr. J G Bunting of Portland planning an Africa expedition to operate on slaves for digestion studies with Alexis St Martin as a precedent. He hires a Tunisian chief and followers, funds a covert venture, and loses funds and supplies to a nighttime desertion. In Pittsburgh a teacher cites a red rose mystery as children fail to recognize it, provoking innocent mispronunciations and wonder.
