Global miscellany and curiosities across nations
A wide collage notes Belgian pigeon winning a 700 mile race from Burgos to Settle in fourteen days, Siam’s bodyguard women, British exports to France Germany Spain and Italy, and a king’s birthday bicycle. It mentions St Petersburg studying U S telephone systems, Bethlehem aqueduct work misattribution, a 124 year old woman’s fall and emancipation history, Norway moving toward full women’s suffrage, and Japan’s imperial allowance. A Phoenix water project, a New Haven medal rediscovery, Bellevue Hospital’s unique patient Rumts the kitten, and the Kinway Comanche homestead lottery show government land openings improved by lot. It ends with England’s cautious car critique and future storage fixes.
