Fragmented 19th Century Scientific Tidbits For Ledger
French authorities study influence of schoolroom environments on pupils eyes while Der Danckworth lists forty six stars for the century from 2000 BC. Reports mention salicylic acid in food preservation banned by France, a heat resistant hydrocarbon, a curious electrical glow around a lily during a thunderstorm, and Rene Thure noting telephone sensitivity to lightning. Attwater describes a copying ink using reduced ink and glycerine. Prizes offered in Brussels and Turin for medical essays on nervous diseases and blood physiology. British coal mines research on coal dust and fire damp explosions. Historical notes on incandescent methods, papain from Carica papaya for diphtheria membranes, and temperance discussion. Obvious miscellany ends with wheat sowing in 1602.
Greenbacker and Education in Old North Letters
A collage of 19th century snippets touches on education with J A Cooper at Edinboro Pa and a call to send for a Normal School circular. It also satirizes political temper and includes harmless ads for health products Sanford’s Catarrh Cure and Shilor’s Vitalizer with prices and store mentions.
