Camels and textiles in early modern notes in Texas and Sweden
The article notes camels in Texas and New Mexico escaping into the Gila basin and potentially increasing in number, a claim that wild camels could become as common on western plains as buffalo. It also reports on Swedish mill progress near Norrköping turning wood into fine thread, claiming Clarke brand quality, with swift ball winding and packaging, plus future home-use promise. A sugar acid-heat note warns three minutes converts sugar to glucose, boosting sweetness for fruit. A proverb about romance ends the fragment.
