International tidbits and oddities from a late 19th century paper
A mosaic of brief items reports oranges consumed in California, Deadwood gold shipped to the East, Brussels tramways, Russian letters of marque chatter, touring entertainers en route to Paris, and hotel crowds at West Philadelphia Exposition. It notes Calcutta wheat exports rising since 1870, a New Orleans penny stamp bust guide, and a mix of curios from Long Beach to Vermont suffrage debates, all in brisk, period voice.

Letter on lismation and calcium hyposulphite effects
A reader in the Mining Press discusses Otto Hoffmann and the Kiss modification, questioning whether calcium hyposulphite forms when copper or iron chlorides meet calcium polysulphide. The writer suggests the rapid dissolution of silver chloride in the precipitate may be a mix of calcium chloride and hyposulphite rather than a pure product, warning against misreading Hoffmann’s discovery.

Enea de Wagstaff Denies Russian Sheet Iron Secret
Enea Iron Baron de Wagstaff now visiting this country denies the claim that the Russian government alone holds the secret of producing Russian sheet iron. He says four-fifths of polished sheets are made privately, with no hidden chemical or ore peculiarity. He notes efforts to replicate fail due to undisclosed manipulation at a stage of manufacture, but that no sulphur or phosphorus traces prevent good results.
