A Boston Transcript excerpt praises German dikes on the Elbe for their patient handwork. Mapped heads anchor willow foundations, wattles and sand fill, with stone paving forming a durable, canal like barrier. The writer contrasts American practices, noting permanence, tidiness, and aesthetic utility.
The Gila monster lacks fangs like a rattlesnake yet its bite can be deadly if it turns over. Dr. Snow's account from Kansas notes the danger when the reptile grips and turns, allowing poison to flow into the wound. Arizona and Sonora legends persist, but experiments show how turnover affects outcomes.
The note recalls Samuel Butler who died in 1902 and notes his writings now read more than in life. A notebook anecdote tells how a four or five year old girl misread a hippo’s blink as death, remarking the animal was dead while a boy led her away.
A humorous snippet about church life contrasts a London vicar’s cook choosing a hymn with the vicar’s wife praise. The cook quips that the hymn is “the number of my policeman” and Mr. Cumrox jokes about family trips to Europe revealing his weakness in valuing foreign money as things are paid before he asks questions.
