Scientist to hunt porpoise with gun in Gulf expedition
Washington aims to shoot porpoises as they enter shallow Gulf waters. Dr. Gerritt Miller of the Smithsonian leads the Cedar Keys expedition to study porpoise digestion and behavior.

Only One Man Can Wear Hat in King's Presence
London reports that Michael Constantine de Courcy, Baron Kingeale, is the sole UK resident allowed to keep a hat on in the king's presence. This hereditary privilege stems from Sir John de Coursey in King John’s reign for conquering Ulster. The prerogative has been exercised five times, most recently in 1859 when John de Courcy, Lord Kinganle, wore a hat before Queen Victoria.

Rarefied Air Used for Killing Moths
Scientists H A Buck and R T Cotton report on using rarefied air to kill moths and other insects in stored articles. A trunk with most air removed sufficed to exterminate pests in days, with air depleted to one fifth to one thirtieth of normal. Phocenite appears more effective than fumigation for this method.
