A historical account recounts multiple cases where alleged murders led to swift trials and hangings. It notes mistaken convictions, later exonerations, and surprising survivals or confessions, including a sailor saved from the gallows and a priest wrongly condemned by fabricated evidence.
A young English rancher named Allen becomes trapped in a dark mine tunnel after a ghostly vision. He confronts a lion near the shaft, uses a plank and blazing straw to deter it, then escapes only to wait three days before his friends find him. Nearby, a Mountaineer’s Cabin at the World’s Fair showcases rustic Bluegrass state hospitality and traditional moonshine making methods.
A 19th century critique notes ongoing belief in witchcraft in New Jersey beyond Europe. It recalls a Florence case where a sorceress advised burning an oven fire and harming a passerby, then tells of Mrs Geeser in Little Holland who allegedly practices witchcraft, with neighbors reporting misfortune to livestock and people.
Report of supposed witch’s curse on four children in a rural area with claims of magical healing rites and a Belgian priest warning of harm. Witnesses describe strange symptoms and a potion method to break the spell, while locals recount sightings and superstitions surrounding the alleged witch.
The piece recounts Lyneh Lynch’s 1890 escape from a Massachusetts state prison by crawling through a drainage shaft, crossing to Connecticut, then New York and London before arrest in the Kaiser's domain. It notes repeated returns to prison and a long pursuit by detectives, with contrasting accounts of his later life.
A garbled London Saturday Review excerpt recalls a peculiar event about two pike and a small fellow. The dialogue hints at swallowing and bearing, with odd phrasing describing an unusual fish scene in a week’s issue.

Moissan reports making black and tiny white diamonds by dissolving carbon in molten iron at about 3000 degrees with an electric oven. A carbon coated iron ingot cools and recovers carbon as it solidifies, crystallizing under enormous pressure into diamondlike forms, though scale and cost remain prohibitive.
A revived interest in using air as the fuel source is described as simple and low cost. The method directs a powerful air blast onto a glowing surface to trigger combustion, with initial incandescence aided by coal gas or hydrocarbons.
