New Connecticut Gallows For Self-Execution By Water Release
Hartford dispatch reports Warden Woodbridge has installed an improved gallows at the state prison. A condemned man allegedly becomes his own executioner by stepping on a drop that releases a water-triggered mechanism. Jack Cronin is to die by this device August 2, prompting protest from Dr. A. W. Tracy who argues the law forbids forcing a prisoner to self execute and requires an officer to carry out the sentence.

Treatment at Burns Shows Old Remedies Still Work
A young woman burned by gasoline recovered after treatment with a soft paste of lard and flour, applied to burned areas and kept moist with fat. The method relieved pain, aided healing, and avoided scarring, contrasting with lime water and linseed oil or zinc washes. The patient’s severe throat and lung irritation also improved, and she recovered in about five weeks. The article praises home rendered lard as a life-saving base when properly used. The report cites New York Ledger on the method’s success.

Remarkable Growth of a New Industry in the South
The cottonseed oil industry has surged since 1880 from 40 mills with 3.5 million dollars capital to about 300 mills with 30 million. Annual seed use reaches 1.5 million tons yielding farmers roughly 18 million dollars, while output totals 60 million gallons of oil and large byproducts valued near 50 million. Demand grows as mills use only about one third of seed, hulls become fodder, and oil finds uses in salad oil though mislabeling with olive oil persists overseas.

Measuring Brickwork for Wall Volumes
The Boston Journal of Commerce notes ordinary bricks measure about eight inches long and four and a half inches wide with mortar. A brick on the flat covers roughly thirty-two square inches, and about twenty-one bricks per cubic foot are needed after waste and close joints. Estimating becomes multiplying wall face area by seven fourths of thickness in inches.
