Color Blind and the Heat of Color Perception
Birdie Swartout wonders if color can be detected by senses other than sight and cites Nye's discussion of color blind cases, heat and odor associations, and anecdotes from a Pullman car. The piece touches racial bias, health climate letters, and humorous, exploratory tales of servants and life in early 20th century society.

Remarkable Zoo Keeper Bravely Shields Lions With Broom
An unnamed German zoo worker risked a deadly encounter to calm lions and tigers while another man, Hamilton, watched in awe. The keeper used a broom to prod the beasts, forcing them away as he cleaned a cage. The incident revealed the beasts’ fierce temper and the keeper’s calm, fearless method. Nearby, a boy's tale of a toy ax brings a lighter note amid the peril. The text also notes rail progress toward the Jaffa Jerusalem Railway and a remark on steamers near the Levant coast.
