Bells of the Bastille bells moved through Paris clocks history
A fragmentary tale describes three bells once part of the Bastille clock built by M Sartine in 1764. Made for the royal Bastille in 1701, they bore sacred figures and legends. They later clocked a Paris tower, endured revolution, and were moved across sites before ending up in French foundries and storage in Paris.

The French Academy and Men’s Hat Bow Origins
The French Academy, founded 1685 by Cardinal Richelieu and reformed later, governs French grammar, rhetoric, poetry and publications. A secretary heads the body with life tenure. Men’s hats feature a bow on the left, once used to secure cords in windy weather, evolving into a decorative staple as hats persisted.

Spiked Mountain of Pachnen A Natural Irony
A New York Journal item describes a geologic oddity near Pachnen, a mountain appearing to be covered in rivers but formed by stone columns. The piece notes the sides are columnar, five to twelve feet long, with exotic shapes resembling a human hand and other figures, sparking speculation that nature’s work might be human craft. The report mentions historical debate and cites a striking image of a fortresslike formation viewed from distant lines, recalling myths of ancient builders and natural forts. The article blends wonder with dubious attribution, referencing various era sources while highlighting the mountain's dramatic silhouette and contested origins.
