A collection of science notes addresses earth curvature, elephant taming myths, lightning paths, snow color, sun dial usefulness across cities, pole star position with latitude, and a dubious sanity symptom linked to thumb activity. The items mix curiosities with outdated views and trivia.
A composite of comic exchanges from Detroit News Philadelphia North American Spare Moments and Boston Globe sketches. The snippets parody dining service miscommunications with Walter and guests debating food quality portions and soup choices.
A fragile note explains that a gun dial made for London would be useless in Paris or Edinburgh due to latitude differences. The pole star altitude varies with latitude, being higher at Edinburgh and lower at Parks than London, forcing the stylus to continually point to the polar star and altering its angle with the dial plate.
A garbled OCR page presents a collection of quotes from Anon, Dugald Stewart, Dr. Johnson, Milton, Emerson, and Prof. Nicholas Murray Butler. The text features partial phrases on virtue, education, democracy, and personal character, with stray punctuation and misspellings indicating transcription errors.
