A scattered column describes varied curiosities from Loxpos ice use in a hot season to petrified clam beds near Hogan Montana. It notes Australia’s cosmopolitan dining, a bloodhound snuff trick, a Kansas man seeking a wife for flood victim Parsons, a White Apache killer, royal salaries, and odd anecdotes about museums, donors, and early American notices.
A compact critique of commercial travelers described as energetic, resourceful, and highly intelligent yet sometimes unscrupulous.
