A collage of curiosities spans history from underwater vessel attacks in medieval times to the claim Esperanto grew from multiple language roots. It notes snow-capped equatorial mountains in Colombia, a sailor’s term Burgomaster for large gulls, Rome’s sacred use of salt, and cymbals shifting from military to orchestral use.
A fragmented puzzle corner snippet discusses ancient baptism in early Christian practice on a sick bed, notes on animals not suffering mental disease, U S air plumes before 1943, Francis Hopkinson versus Betsy Ross as designer of the U S flag, and a garbled grid of clues including mountains and coinage terms.
