A sprawling temp: varied items with 25 000 troops heading to Cuba from Spain and rapidly shifting reports from Lyons to London. Updates note miners moving toward the Black Hills, ore from the Justice mine assaying $12 000, and the New Orleans Mint resuming assays. Other items cover Liberia’s improving trade, rail and tunnel tests, and theater disputes involving Edwin Booth.
The report describes a 1710 Mexican coin found in a bed of rock near Laredo and notes interest from historians in its origin. It also covers Port Said dredging activity in 1875, detailing volumes removed, canal depth, and ship passage, plus Reminiscences on Baltic bed forest and amber formation with numerous specimens recovered.
Derived from a Scientific American discussion, the article lists mean heights for 24 nationalities and U S regions. Indians of the United States are tallest at about 34 inches in the text, with Whites and other groups following in order. It also notes regional height data for Kentucky, Kansas, Minnesota, and others, plus unrelated mining town news about Bonanza City, Pioche, and emigration, and a casual conceit about selling the Atlantic to Africa.
