Readers are told to expect a rich sky schedule with several comets and two eclipses described. The report highlights notable celestial events including a potential close approach by comets and a total solar eclipse path spanning South America and parts of Africa, Europe, and Asia. The piece mentions observers like Mare and Hewett as well as institutions and regions around the world tracking the events.
A fragmentary historical note ponders whether Voltaire would have learned from Diderot and whether his work might have altered economic or social thought. It references a 14a jolster of a tense discussion and hints at an executive’s opinions about publishing and influence without concrete conclusions.
A confused OCR fragment mentions a woman speaker and a composition, with garbled phrases about salt, white, and enjoyment. References to Wilton and Gare Ha appear, but the text is largely unreadable and lacks clear events or outcomes.

An "electric palate" created by R O Hitchcock, an electronic engineer, records taste-like readings of fruits and vegetables and the effects of tea and coffee. Demonstrated recently, it measures currents at one millionth of an ampere, about one tenth the wing power of a horse fly, and is far more sensitive and portable than earlier devices. It was designed to measure minute currents in photoelectric circuits.
The piece reflects on the 1913 creation of the Department of Labor and its aimed purpose to protect workers.
