The Chicago Journal notes that accidents often happen when drivers fall asleep at night rather than steering gear failure. Prolonged driving, noise, and wind cause drowsiness, loosening wheel control and driving off the road, sometimes with injury or death.
Chapman Grant of the Aquarium notes morays free themselves when held aloft by doubling and knotting themselves to pull the head free. He cites cases where the hook or line breaks. Mr Mowbray also reports morays strangling themselves when caught with strong tackle.
A quip on consumer culture notes that buying unwanted goods to seek social ties is folly. The piece mentions Dutch children using wooden shoes on toy boats as a curious aside, illustrating cultural observations.
Cheyenne County Nebraska Board met March 20 1917 after a storm adjournment to audit county records for the past twenty five years. The session approved a dead tree removal contract, designated a depository, reviewed monthly cash, and approved numerous claims and bonds for county offices and services. The board adjourned to April 3, 1917.
Chariton Bates Strayer notes in Leslie's that ocean telegraphs might have deterred 1812 war ideas, and cites rapid event timing from 1812 to 1866. He links New Orleans, Jackson, Ghent peace, Crimean War, Fort Sumter, Franco-Prussian War, Bismarck, Austro Prussian War, Maine blasting, and the Spanish American War as illustrative misalignments in cause and effect.
A discussion of long seventeenth century romances contrasts William de Morgan with era romancers. Mlle de Scuderys Le Grand Cyrus spans five folio volumes and La Calprenedes Cleopatra extends to twenty three volumes. Parthenissa by Roger Boyle Orrery shows naming and introductions dragging on to page eight hundred.
In the Junín pampa along Lake Junín Peru, a duck shooting sport at 14 000 feet shows extreme gun recoil and slow shot spread. Sparse air density causes eight pounds per square inch less pressure than sea level, and ducks reportedly lack a fishy taste as fins do not exist at this altitude.
The phrase almighty dollar predates Washington Irving, appearing in Ben Jonson's Epistle to Elizabeth, Countess of Rutland, which opens with the line about virtue sold for gold. The notion of money’s power echoes through London Notes and Queries as an early critique of wealth and virtue.
A Boston Transcript quotation depicts a man returning home at 2 AM to a silent hall where his wife regards him in silence for a full minute before speaking at length. The exchange underscores tension and unease in a domestic moment.
