Smashing Point in Bulbs
The smashing point marks when incandescent lamps dim to near obscurity as filament disintegration deposits particles on the glass. This increases resistance and lowers current, making old lamps costlier to run than new ones, justifying replacement. Thirsty Throckmorton boasts of a beer keg spigot while gun-toting miscreants threaten a chicken coop.

A Dream of Air Power Cleaning Car Carpets
A vivid account describes a pneumatic carpet cleaning system used in Santa Fe yards for almost 16 years. A four to five foot iron pipe with a broad brass nozzle blasts dirt from carpets and interiors at 70 psi, leaving surfaces spotless and easier to tidy than broom work. The device, lacking a patent, is now common in several railroad yards and even inspires a housekeeper to install a basement compressor and piping to all rooms for superior cleaning. A second note introduces a curved-blade plant mover that lifts shrubs with a compact tube assembly for transplanting without soil disturbance.
