The Moth and the Candle in Light Attraction
Kaempffert explains how symmetrical eye chemistry in moths causes movement toward light. Removing one eye disrupts symmetry and the moth circles instead. The phenomenon applies to other animals, with a snail between lighted walls also circling due to unequal illumination.

Gems In Verse Old Favorities The High Tide At Gettysburg
An aged poetic fragment recounts Gettysburg with Civil War imagery. It describes a charged scene as Virginia and Tennessee rally, soldiers fall, banners fade, and a nation’s fate is mourned. The piece, attributed to Will Thompson, evokes glory, ruin, and maternal lament.
Fragmentary verse lines puzzle readers
A fragmentary OCR style passage hints at a poetic musing on time and value. It contrasts a day, a month in town, and a year with imagery of green apples and dust. The text is incomplete but centers on perceived worth and the passage of time.
Melancholy and Joy in a Poet’s Veiled Shrine
The fragment voices Melancholy awaiting Beauty and Joy at the edge of pleasure. A man’s strenuous tongue can burst joy’s grape, letting his soul taste sadness and face a cloudy home. Keate.
