The article notes a conductor could be tipped with a cent or two and describes signs listing platform capacities. Each car and platform bears a number showing how many may stand there. When full the word Vol appears and no one else is allowed aboard. Our car held about thirty passengers and platforms were busy, turning away riders at every crossing.
A New Orleans Times-Democrat anecdote recounts Mrs. Jack Frost’s urban attempt at farming. She divided sexes incorrectly, causing chaos in the yard as many young roosters fought and were slain, while the yard filled with crowing birds at sunrise.
A Hongkong shipping enthusiast notes wheelbarrows as the dominant land transport in China, transporting more freight and people than many methods. He explains the wheel is centered under the barrow, unlike the American design. The analysis highlights the wheelbarrow’s efficiency for Chinese roads and laborers.
