Torpedo Shell and Nitroglycerine Handling at a Mine Site
A vivid account describes workers Kuhn Wymer and a supervisor loading and transporting nitroglycerine in boxes for a torpedo shell experiment. The scene shows careful packing to prevent explosions, a derrick setup with a pulley system, and a dramatic test where the device is lowered into a 1,213 foot well. The narrative intercuts with weather, poetry fragments, and other unrelated items, but centers on the hazardous preparation and near-misses of the explosive operation.

Questionable Whisky Composition Draws Consumer Caution
A historical note warns that some whiskies sold as bourbon rye were adulterated with harmful substances including vinegar oil of bourbon and other poisons. Prices cited range from 90 cents to 1 dollar per gallon for production and 5 to 6 dollars per gallon retail, with cognac brandy blend costs totaling up to 10 dollars per gallon.
Cider and Temperance Tale From a Farmer’s Letter
A Sunday school superintendent and a neighbor recount cider warnings and the shift to total abstinence after witnessing drunkenness from orchard juice. The writer, once toying with cider on her farm, vows never to make or drink it again as fermentation dangers and peer examples show cider can foster habitual intoxication.

A religious appeal frames poverty, disease, and fear as motivators for the abstinence cause. The speaker urges Christians to endure sacrifices for souls, noting life’s sorrows are fleeting and urging believers to take up the “avondls” in the fallen field, as Dustin signs off.
