At the Sam Mean vivco Mistoscopical Society first meeting Mr H G Hawke explains a pocket spectroscope method to detect boracic acid and borax in desert samples. He notes deposits on the Pacific coast may run out and outlines testing steps using acid alcohol and flame color, with green bands signaling boracic acid presence. The talk also mentions a Cleopatra inspired earrings fad and costs.

Mammoth elephants slow to multiply and age of birth facts
A historical summary discusses the extinct past of elephants and the current slow growth of elephant populations. It notes females bear offspring around age thirty, six young during the reproductive period, and a life expectancy near a hundred years, implying millions could remain if conditions supported gradual growth. The piece also references local anecdotes and mining news amid a broader wildlife context.
