Origin of the Argand Lamp and the Telescope
SUGGESTED BY CHILDREN Origin of the Argand Lamp and the Telescope. The lamp was inspired when a child’s oil splash fed a flame, making the wick flare upward. A Dutch spectacle maker’s children peering through glasses at a weathercock sparked the telescope idea, leading to its eventual invention.

Argand
The Subtile Female and Her Subtle Influence
A satirical analysis on how women, by influencing men toward simplicity and practicality, undermine male vanity. The piece observes language shifts toward sober attire and domestic roles, arguing fashion fades as women reshape expectations. It portrays men as victims of feminine self aggrandizement and suggests a general fear of women.

Indiscreet romances and comic quips in papers
The column blends social observations and humorous anecdotes from the era. A Times-Democrat piece cites an opportunist woman as a plot trigger, then shifts to light humor about a lazy son joining the circus for pay, and notes a misheard tale about contagious illness seen through a child’s eyes.
How Pike Kill Perch and Other Gleanings
Brief notes on pike feeding behavior from Armistead's Trout Waters, noting pike grip prey crosswise for minutes before swallowing. Includes a dialogue fragment about married life and a small ad-like nod to a product. The fragmentary text presents a mix of natural history and humorous exchanges with dated phrasing.
