A fragmentary poem laments hunger and death as a mother pleads for three grains of corn. The jagged text shows repeated reflections on poverty and the hope for relief amid famine. Strong entities are not clearly identifiable due to the damaged OCR.
Fragmentary OCR notes reference an ancient altar or religious site, with scattered mentions of locations such as San Francisco and Delhi style phrases. The text hints at cartography, preservation, and possible church interiors, but yields no clear event, date, or attribution.
The fragment describes Ramascus scenes with streets and arches, the Mediterranean coast, and a governor's era garden. It details bone preparation during summer, neighborhood noise, and local customs, including a blind Sa ul figure and Ananias era memory.
The article discusses rising use of waterfall power to generate electric energy, noting concerns about coal use and the spread of water power across nations. It highlights estimates of total horsepower, with a claim that about one third may be credited to the United States, and mentions Swinton’s remarks on steam power pricing.
The article discusses the large potential coal savings from water power and the limits of hydroelectric capacity. It notes 2,060,000 horsepower from waterfalls could save about 12,000,000 tons of coal annually, with future gains expected as mine depths rise and some fields near exhaustion prompt attention to energy efficiency. It ends with reflections on ongoing energy waste and the role of science in preventing shortages.
