Watch diseases run through a jeweler's tale of watches
A downtown jeweler explains an epidemic among watches caused by atmospheric electricity. Mainsprings grow brittle when magnetized, hairsprings suffer from local electric forces, and even oils and dirt trigger failures. He likens watch maladies to human ailments and notes protective disks, shocks, and yearly wear as factors. Two walnut chairs from Switzerland, 240 years old, reportedly belong to Landon Thomas of Augusta.

Amusing water drop experiment ends in pain and bets
Henry Waller of Omaha recalls a stunt where a man endures water drop by drop from two to three feet. A bystander bets $20 that he can withstand a quart, the man blisters within minutes and quits after a pint. The wagerer later claims no one could endure a pint on the head while keeping reason, a claim met with cautious skepticism.
