An Awful Revenge of a Young French Scientist
A sensational 1792 Paris tale recalls Dr Gaspard a gifted young physician of electricity who betrays rival Dumont then watches him die by guillotine. Dumont escapes execution, retrieves his head and pursues Gaspard through streets toward the river. They plunge and vanish, never seen again as crowds scatter amid horror.

King Lear Amended and A Queen's Bath Tale
A column quotes a lawyer's tale of a man who shared his wealth with his children before dying. The plot shows how perceived generosity breeds treachery, ending with the disposal of his hoard and a cautionary note. It then shifts to a piece on a queen’s bath in Madagascar, noting starch in bathwater and court etiquette, followed by a brief Hebrew linguistic note on Adam. The excerpt closes with a snippet about a Chartered company claim from the Matabele revolt.
