White House renovations take shape as interior work begins
Washington letters report the White House interior renovation under Architect McKim with the east, blue, and red rooms emptied for storage. A new basement reception room and a marble staircase are planned, while a greenhouse is to be torn down for an office conversion and broader presidential household use. Diplomatic guests seek seashore retreats with Bar Harbor, Cape May, and Atlantic City hosting ministers. Major Dick Sylvester celebrates a five pound bass sent to the president. Wives of cabinet ministers decry a shortage of social secretaries, then a curious lobster request from a congressman's wife highlights quirky Washington etiquette. An electric fan game in cloakrooms replaces former greenback poker for drinks.

Horsehair Snakes Peculiar Waterborne Parasites
The article describes horsehair snakes a nickname for threadlike flesh colored mites in stagnant water that transform to slender purplish threads surfacing the water. They attach to insects such as crickets katydids and grasshoppers creeping into hollow legs and wing cases and even inside bodies. After heavy rains when insects drown the parasite emerges from carcasses as miniature serpents and the cycle continues with eggs laid by returning to ponds to hatch the next generation.
