Boum Boum Brings Hope To a Dying Paris Boy

In a Paris apartment on Rue des Abbesses seven year old Francois Legrand lies deathly ill as his fever drains life. His parents plead for a miracle and the circus clown Boum Boum visits, bringing joy with laughter and a dance of hope. The clown’s bedside visit stirs a spark of relief as Francois clings to the imagined joy of Boum Boum while doctors and family anxiously watch for improvement.

Testing Experiments in keeping fish alive for transport

The article reports Walter Murphy of New York patenting a hermetically sealed water filled jar to keep live fish alive during transit. Experiments at Fulton Market with striped bass showed fish remained lively after weeks in sealed jars, while open jars died within days. Authors note possible benefits for sport anglers and US Fish Commission, with uncertain scientific explanation.
