Automobile savings bank tours country to collect peasants deposits
The Scientific American reports French bankers have advanced with an automobile savings bank that travels rural districts at set intervals. An electric car carries a cashier and two clerks around a revolving table, with shelves for bankbooks and a built in strong box. Peasants can deposit any amount, though withdrawals require a trip to the capital bank. Also noted is W F Singer's automatic pump for autos using a vertical post toggle joint to drive pumps, enabling water and fuel handling as the car moves.

Movement of Capitol Dome Tue to Sun Jumps Six Inches Daily
Experimental setup in Washington measured the Capitol Dome shifting about six inches daily in an elliptical path due to heating and cooling. A wire with a plumb bob traced the dome’s daytime rise and nighttime contraction, revealing a consistent half-ellipse track separate from the return path. The Washington Monument also shows daily movement from sun heat. Government engineers installed a permanent device to monitor out of plumb variation.

Wind as a Destroyer on Sea Bluffs and Cork Demand
Dr A A Julen told the New York Academy of Sciences that wind-driven sand and salt spray erode sea bluffs as much as waves, pitting exposed surfaces. Cork production totals about 1000 metric tons, mainly from Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and north Africa, with forests in French holdings constituting over half of cork forests. Demand for cork is rising daily.
