Origin of the Saw and Odds and Ends
A historical note traces the saw’s invention to Talos using a jawbone of a large snake, then describes early saws and mills in Madeira, Brestan, England, and London, with humorous vignettes about naming ships and a jellyfish species, plus quips about Dr Harris and a millinery job joke.

Canal abandonment plan pivots on state seizure of lakes water rights
The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company urges the New Jersey Legislature to abandon navigation on the Morris Canal and transfer all land water rights at Lake Hopatcong and Greenwood Lake to the State. It argues the canal has become a financial drain and cites contracts, taxes, and prior rights as it seeks to end navigation and preserve roadbed and water rights for sale or transfer.
