Walnut Trees Adorn Land and Provide Value in Woods
A Garden writer extols walnut trees for gunstocks and fine furniture timber, noting their free growth on many soils, nut yields covering land rent, and suitability in parks with tall, graceful foliage. Walnuts leaf late, reveal wood and limbs attractively, and support pasture herbage better than many trees. The piece cites large old walnuts and cites a Nevada anecdote about the naming of Poor Man's Gulch in California. It also notes Washington’s many churches and large black church membership.

Electricity Affects Big Guns in Modern Warfare
The Pall Mall Gazette reports an electrical training gear for massive artillery that lets a single operator turn and adjust an 88 ton gun at Garrison Point Fort. By moving a single handle, the breech shifts right or left and the barrel raises or lowers, enabling precise aiming as a 38 ton gun could be aimed rapidly at fast targets.
