The Lost Cowskin Mystery of 1866 Prussian War Office
A Prussian incident from 1866 recounts how a regiment of Grenadier guards failed to reclaim a single cowhide issued for rations after the battle of Soor. A lengthy inquiry followed, spanning fourteen to fifteen months, determining the colonel was responsible. Ultimately the war office demanded 8 thalers, and the matter was dropped.

Costly Accidents and the Bottomless Bottow Pit
A London Answers account describes two mining disasters. A tin mine near the sea failed when a new ore vein forced water in, a sea wall and pumps proved useless, and a gale wrecked the mine roof. The owner was ruined. In Derbyshire the Speedwell lead mine tunnel hit a vast cavern flooding exits, after hundreds of thousands of tons of rock and ore were moved. The project ended with the Bottow Pit name attached to the failed venture.

Simian Yawning Habit Marked in Baboon Family
The text notes that the habit of yawning as a sign is confined to the monkey group, especially prominent in baboons, with Gibraltar apes also showing it. It may have started as a threat display like a dog showing teeth, and the mouth opening can trigger a real yawn. When two unfamiliar baboons meet, they display the gesture and often yawn when provoked by visitors.

Crystal forms of butter lard and beef fat under the microscope
Small samples of butter lard and beef fat boiled and cooled for a day reveal distinct crystals. Butter forms three lobed globular crystals that polarize brightly with a St Andrew's cross, lard shows a stellar crystal, and beef fat appears blotched and uneven as it ages and loses frostiness.
