The piece discusses how plants grow upward toward light and how gravity influences root and shoot direction. It cites Francis Darwin’s experiments on starch grains in cells directing growth, noting side falls and vibrations alter curvature, and asks whether plants feel or merely respond to stimuli.
Dr. William Wright, lecturer on anatomy, discusses a collection of human skulls from East Riding of Yorkshire at the University of Birmingham. The skulls split into two groups: Bronge and Neolithic ages with 4% still teeth, 29 males and 19 females. Early Iron Age with 20 individuals including 1 male and 9 females. Teeth show remarkable condition, few missing, mostly disease-free, with jaws from the Orange Age noted for exceptional dental preservation.

A garbled column discusses kitchen tips for frying fish and umbrella care, then shifts to scientific notes about fruit washing and micro organisms. It mentions soaking and draining methods, umbrella use, and a scientist claim about water cleansing, then odd notes on sleeping reptiles and eyelid absence. It concludes with a mistaken line on London population growth.
