Electric man of Lowell described as a walking automaton

A feature on George R. Moore of Lowell Manitoba who built an electric man that appears to walk naturally and push a perambulator. The device uses a high power battery, a chair and ornate fittings, with Moore aiming to make town life polite and capable of hat tipping to fares amid a tall, fashionable presentation.

The Devils of War and the Whitworth Shells

A vivid wartime eyewitness describes the fearsome noise of Whitworth shells, likening their scream to a mob and to predators. The account covers their distant range of six miles, the terror felt by blockaders near the Cape Fear River, and the helplessness of soldiers under bombardment.
