Waterproofing Cloth a 25 Year Old Idea From Dyehouse Accident
The article recalls the origin of waterproofing cloth, traced to a Yorkshire dyehouse accident. Thomas Peathley Wey of Bedford secured the first patent twenty five years ago for waterproofing cloth after workers noticed a waxy film forming during alum washing, yielding a process using alumina solutions, lead acetate, waxes, and rollers to make fabric waterproof.

Descent of Bernadotte to Swedish royalty and fate
Lament of Jean Baptiste Bernadotte, once a French marshal, who rose to crown Sweden but died in Stockborg. Born to a lawyer, he entered royal marines in 1780, joined the French Revolution, and under Napoleon became a marshal. He became heir to Sweden’s throne, known for a royal medieval atmosphere, yet remained French at heart. He saw Napoleon’s fall with grief and as prince of Sweden, was later recognized by Louis XVIII in 1818, with reflections on his career and kin to Napoleon’s line.
