Queer Signs and Laughable Notices on New York Streets

A New York Herald piece catalogs humorous and odd storefront signs across the city. From "Wet Goods" on Second Avenue to "Neglected Photographer" on Fulton Street, the items mix wordplay and misspellings, including "No Two Men Allowed to Drink Out of the Same Schooner" and "Pies Open All Night" at a West Broadway beanery. The notice surveys signs about crafts, services, and even names, such as Herr Weinbeer and Coffin as a druggist, with playful commentary on orthography and gender roles reflected in the era’s signage.

Nova's Sudden Brightening and Rapid Fading Examined

William Hoggins discusses the 1876 Nova and compares its peculiar light curve with earlier novas. He notes the swift drop in brightness within days and months, questions solar-energy conversion, and proposes cooling of outer gases and reduced transparency as explanations for the rapid waning without major spectral change.

Aerial Navigation Split Into Ballooning and Aeration

A 19th century review breaks aerial navigation into two branches: ballooning the use of lighter than air craft and aeration the use of heavier than air machines. It discusses a proposed war balloon capable of carrying passengers shells and guns and travel at thirty miles per hour on a calm day. Nearby notes describe spring travelers across the provinces and a Brooklyn man who trained performing monkeys for up to fifty dollars.
