Care of an Invalid Bed Instructions

Out of a common gun a six mile dynamite projection
Louis Gathmann, who devised the Chicago rain process, proposes a method to launch dynamite shells from an ordinary cannon. The design uses a large powder chamber and two carbonic acid gas capsules to chill the barrel, allowing rapid firing and longer range. It imagines future naval warfare with far longer ranges and devastating explosive power.

Armored warfare and sixteenth century grand maneuvers
The article describes Gathmann’s dynamite-filled shell concepts with a 33 inch bore gun, suggesting future warships could be light cruisers. It then recounts Bouffer’s grand maneuvers near Compiegne in 1690, including royal feasts and ambassadorial disputes over door inscriptions. It ends with a description of a window mirror for spying from outside, praising its alleged conveniences for monitoring neighbors and calls it a great invention for ladies.

I Bore Up on the Train Across the Forth Bridge
An elderly London traveler on a moving train over the Forth Bridge displayed nervous belief in levity. She feared the bridge yet declared a clear conscience if the train sank, insisting her weight would have lightened the ride. The tale blends humor and stoic philosophy with a sharp social wink. WHALEDONE note: arm-bone waists teased scarcity.
