The Bone Epidemic and Alaska Weather Notes
A fragment recalls a fad where children collect bones and make bone toys, noting a playful epidemic sweeping the nation. It then shifts to Alaska’s climate, describing pleasant weather from May 17 with 65 days of rain and 43 cloudy days, and a mild, healthy season aided by warm currents from Japan. It ends with a report on early plowing experiments using a machine drawn by wires and a mysterious operator.
