Excerpts on insect control and engineering notes
A fragment from a 19th century periodical covers methods to exterminate burrowing animals using gas and mechanical devices, describing a two chamber device with a fuel holder and a compressor to drive fumes into rodent holes. Additional notes discuss iron casting strength tests, typhoid inoculation results, a rapid firing gun, and an electrical pulp process for paper from straw with profit notes.
