A late nineteenth century letter piece reflects on urban growth harming daily mobility, suggesting streetcars and steam dummies as solutions. It mocks political despair over the Grant vs Greeley contest, recounts personal anecdotes about Grant’s kindness to a poor boy, and ends with a sober meditation on ruin and exile post election.
A Victorian treatise argues buildings can be made fireproof by thin iron walls filled with water. Structures would act like steam boilers, transferring heat away and preventing flame spread. Water-cooled partitions could keep temperatures at 212 degrees until water boils, drastically reducing water use in fires.
The Ninth Judicial District of Ohio schedules district court and common pleas terms for 1873 across Stark Columbiana Trumbull Mahoning Portage Geauga and Ashtabula counties. District Court dates include fall and spring sessions in each county. Common Pleas terms list January March September February May October June and other dates by county. An editor's note quips Bates could man a metallic tool for cutting vegetation rather than bearing a flag.
The author argues for using water as a protective medium against great fires. Water’s imperviousness to air and heat could prevent communication with combustibles and reduce damage. The suggestion implies expanding heat force on water to resist destruction, proposing a practical, economical solution.
A historical note describes a vast atmospheric wave from the Pacific that swept Oregon, Washington, and Colorado into a period of winter anticipation. It links the phenomenon to the Rocky Mountains and explains earlier weather mysteries while noting strong cold-depth frost questions and mining anecdotes in Clear Creek County.
