Head Shaped by Cord Acknowledged In New Hebrides Customs
A National Geographic Magazine account notes that New Hebrides natives in Murlekula still fashion conical head shapes by binding and weaving cords around infants heads. The practice, adopted from cultural norms, causes distress in babies though mothers proudly display the result. A girl nearby shows a more pronounced sugar loaf head shape, suggesting varied parental care.

Saluting a Cat in Poona Goverment House Legend
A long tale from Philadelphia Telegraph recounts that since 1838 in Poona the sentry saluted every cat exiting the government house after dark. After Sir Robert Grant’s death a belief emerged that the cat was the deceased governor’s avatar, leading Hindu, Mahometan, Christian, and Jewish soldiers to honor felines for over 25 years. A separate note mentions electric locomotives in the Simpson tunnel brewing condensation and insulation issues due to temperature differences.
