Origin of the Word Texas and Its Alleged Meaning
A Dallas correspondent to the Cincinnati Enquirer recounts a tradition that Teja or Tejas meaning welcome inspired the name Texas. He says Spanish missionaries met Indians shouting Teja as they crossed the Rio Grande, and the word came to denote the land between the Rio Grande and the Sabine. The piece notes the tale may be apocryphal but remains a charming origin story.

Sulphur in coal sparks scientific inquiry in Chicago
M Dieulefait questions sulfur content in anthracite and alkaline carbonates in ashes. He analyzes coal plant species, noting high sulfuric acid and infers ancient coal plants were richer in sulfur causing sulfates to form rather than carbonates. A different New Orleans remedy claims a stolen negro hair plug cured earache when moistened with laudanum.
