A New York Post item recounts a retired Atlantic liner first mate who offers weather lessons to city visitors. He uses simple signs and a card series explaining how temperature shifts, wind direction, and cloud patterns signal coming weather. He charges 50 cents per half hour for lessons with charts and simple instruments.
A rural English exhibition features two enormous hogs labeled with ages and weights, prompting a joke that the animals are taxidermists. Other passages describe winter scenes with Marquis of Lorne in Ottawa, a highwaymen robbery thwarted by a second man, and detailed notes on mask use among Zuni Makah and other tribes showing ritual significance and breath of gods, thunderbird heads, bear dances, and bear masks.
Afr Bascomb encounters a distant sunset gun on his first day away from Banbury, while his wife explains the device as a sunrise and sunset signal. Bascomb challenges the idea, recalling his life in Bunbury and doubting any power could fire a gun without visible industry or sign, as relayed by Youth's Companion.
A Judge column jokes about Cadmus creating letters and later capitals. The second tale describes Ballybunion cliffs on Ireland’s west coast where iron pyrites in the rocks oxidized after water penetration, causing volcanic-like fires and weeks of burning with smoke rising over the cliffs.
A brief anecdote credits English painter Stothard with his precise hand, saying he learned to think before touching paper by drawing only with pen and ink and not altering lines.
