Sparrow of Berzelius Ends in Public Funeral
An old chronicle recalls the sparrow at the Paris Polytechnique School trained by Agricola Gibou. The bird died after a perilous experiment with a preumatic pump, sparking student mourning and a famed clock that later seemed to misbehave. The tale links Berzelius, the janitor Agricola, and a farcical scientific episode that became school legend.
