The article describes home made candles from bird fat on remote shores, parrots used for honey tastes in Australia, vultures cleaning city streets, cormorants trained to fish in China, and methods to estimate ore weight from cubic samples. It notes urban bird roles and a mining weight measurement lesson with practical experiments.
The article recounts how ancient glassware with gold and silver inlays reappeared through a chance discovery by Theophilus J. Fareau. While coating nickel rods with glass, a molten drop created a vein filled tube resembling ancient Murano pieces, leading to a perfected technique using a blow pipe and rolled gold or silver foil to produce jeweled glass through repeated heating and shaping.
The piece reports on B G Jenkins arguing that forked lightning is chemical in origin, hydrogen in the upper atmosphere mixing with nitrogen and oxygen to form flame-like light. It contrasts violent gas explosions with electric discharges and notes German studies on child mortality across care methods, showing higher death rates among poor and institutional upbringing, plus a remark on inflated skirts.
