A 19th century fragment surveys eyebrow shapes and their supposed links to warmth, passion, artistry, will, and tenderness, describing how distance from the eyes, color relative to hair, and direction of hair indicate traits from sensibility to obstinacy. The piece mixes pseudoscience with observations of facial expressions.
The article surveys early claims for electricity as a military force enhancer from torpedoes to searchlights and rifles, noting its potential to direct weapons remotely, inspect guns, and illuminate battles at night, while warning of hunting hazards and emphasizing cautious use alongside traditional tactics. It also touches on broader cultural notes from New York’s street life to social customs.
