A early magazine notes new farming machinery including a weed puller from Missouri that uproots weeds with dual rollers and rotary blades. It also describes a trolley ferry bridge concept by French engineer Arnodin that uses an overhead cable system to move a car over water, eliminating ferries.
The Butte Inter Mountain reports on an automatic plane by Jerry W Kirby of the city. The device uses an automatic roller action to lift and drag, with pressed steel construction two-thirds lighter and about half the price of old planes. It features dual rollers, a front automatic light, and removable defective parts. About one in twenty carpenters have adopted it.
A historical note on a new eyeglass design promises no bows or springs and rests over the eyeball. The lens could vary in magnification and astigmatism correction, with color options to imitate an eyeball and potentially substitute for a glass eye.
The passage weighs flying design, comparing modern birds and extinct pterosaur. It notes the frigatebird and albatross excel in different traits, with albatross wingspan around 30 metres though wing area limited. Pterodactyls had 27–110 metre wings? The text argues extinct creatures reveal optimal design for flight due to weight, wing spread, musculature, and bone lightness.
An Austrian inventor proposes an automatic bow device to detect hidden obstructions and reverse engines. The design shows a forward extending prow with a sliding head that strikes objects, triggering a plunger to cut power and aid propeller reversal, aided by springs or a compression chamber to absorb impact.
The article surveys advances in electricity and chemistry, noting an electrically charged wire grid iron as a new fly killer and a red solution enabling photography without a dark room. It mentions cheap squid ink production, rising electricity use in Britain, and a German bill to ban phosphorus in matches due to health concerns.
Scribner's column recaps a wartime interview with Capt. S. D. Dent of Eufaula revealing Dent’s battery actions at Chickamauga Mission Ridge and Dalton to Atlanta campaigns. He recalls lost guns, woundings, Patton Anderson, and a reconciling note about a former enslaved man who became his cook, then prospered after the war.
The report tallies 26 convictions for pension related offenses across soldiers and civilians, including false claims and forgery, with a note that eleven soldiers appear on the whore list. Meanwhile an effort seeks $100,000 to fund the coming ex-Confederate soldiers reunion in New Orleans, with donations ranging from 200 to 1000 dollars and a $10 gift from the Union Veterans Association praising Confederate veterans.
The Society of the Army of the Tennessee decides to delay its Washington DC meeting from May to October 15 to allow the President to attend the unveiling of General Sherman’s statue. The move reflects the desire for the President’s presence at the ceremony.
The Michigan State Board of Health stresses guarding drinking water sources and procuring future supplies only from clean sources. It cites Plymouth Pa typhoid outbreak and cautions against privy contamination and near cemeteries. It notes how unseen contamination can occur and warns that clear water can still carry typhoid.
W Brown of Hancock County Ohio presents a detailed pattern for a portable wagon box. The design uses mapped timber, hardware, and fasteners to yield a 12 foot bed with capacity for twenty two bushels of ear corn, expandable to thirty five with a sideboard. The box is marketed as a knockdown model that can be disassembled for storage.
Hugh Greig of Knox County Minot argues a grain ration remains profitable mainly when cows graze pasture. He notes there is no local cheese factory yet dairying persists on a small scale and that grain feeding can sustain milk flow into late summer when grain is scarce, keeping cows in good condition. Buds are lateral when on the side, terminal when on the end.
