An article surveys Dr. Adolf Sellmanns view on early childhood perception. It explains the newborns senses from taste to sight awakening gradually, with emphasis on the critical pre school stage and how early sensory development shapes later growth. The piece notes the scientific basis for reactions to tastes and the patience required as the child progresses.
The article explains how taste and smell develop together in infancy, noting early preference for sweet and aversion to sour, with smell guiding taste. It describes how feeling begins on the lips, and outlines the progression of movements, learning to speak, imitation, and the growth of facial expression in two year olds.
An early 20th century piece extols olive oil as healthful medicine and food. It praises its benefits for rheumatism digestion and skin, notes Italian usage, and encourages daily intake and cooking with olive oil while suggesting olive trees could thrive in southern states.
A physician argues eight hours of work is safe for most working women and warns against patent medicines. He urges rest, sleep, and recreation after work and notes home duties may be beneficial only if done by choice, not coercion, fearing health decline and social issues if underpaid girls continue unpaid labor.
Wilhelm Bastine explains how whirlwinds form using simple props. He uses a water glass as the receptacle and blows cigar smoke through a paper tube into its bottom to illustrate the basic swirling action.
A detailed description explains how to heat glass and create revolving smoke forms resembling a mushroom. It outlines constructing a box device with tubes and wires to produce a whirling mushroom effect, using lighted ends, paper shields, and a jar to visualize air currents and gas flow.
A funnel pours ink through a long tube to form a thin black layer on the bottom of water. Heating yields figures similar to smoke in air, but created by ink in water. Upper layers show disintegrating mushroom shapes with delicate balls and rings in veils. The scene invites patient visual observation.
An ophthalmologist argues workers in shops with machinery risk injury and reduce efficiency from poor vision. Regular eye exams and proper spectacles improve safety, lighting, and productivity, with foremen steering workers to clinics as needed. Good lighting boosts industrial efficiency.
