An evocative reminiscence set beside Devil’s Lake recounts a young narrator and companions exploring rugged cliffs, birch shade, and starry skies. The piece blends memory of a romantic encounter, a brutal natural ascent, and a legend of Kannawana, the Fawn, whose tragic tale endures in the landscape.
A scanned Popular Science style page reports on a paper chimney fifty feet high made soot and water resistant by chemical treatment, experimental sun-powered heating devices using mirrors, and a salt added to starch to render dresses combustible. It notes carbon dioxide output by humans, a potato crop on sewage-irrigated land near Breslau, and a lengthy political essay on Sam Popman the druggist tied to Civil War era greenbacks, inflation, and postwar currency. The piece blends scientific curiosities, economic experiments, and political rhetoric with regional anecdotes and historical references.
The Commissioner of Pensions reported that by June 30, 13,890 arrears claims totaling 7,220,572.44 had been settled or prepared for payment, distributed by agency rolls and aiming to settle more monthly. He expects most entitled will be paid by October, with order of settlement tied to filing rather than date of entitlement.
A description from Medina Italy recalls miners boring five feet into earth to reach a bed of alabaster where water erupts violently. Beneath lies a vivid layer of soil with vegetables, fruit trees, walnuts, and vines preserved. The piece notes a London copy of an English paper on Russian censorship and printing practices.
