A detailed, old expedition narrative describes paddling a sacred river craft along the Koro Maru. Japanese fishers light paper lanterns and drive trained birds to catch fish, with a narrator detailing the river scene, the crew, and the dramatic method in rich, period language.
A garbled Tokio letter and a humorous depot tale mix with courtly anecdotes and a lengthy peanut cultivation article. Notable items include a New York Times style vignette about hornets versus wasps, a Chicago Tribune marriage anecdote, and a thorough Virginia North Carolina Tennessee peanut culture outline detailing planting, harvesting, grading, and uses. The piece blends quirky travel notes with agricultural exposition and light social quips.
A scattered column recounts South America's pampas storm called the pampero with a shifting northeast wind, heat, and sudden relief. A subsiding deluge brings cool weather, while observers on rivers witness opposing waves like cavalry charges and lightning. The piece notes crowds, fatigue, and a humorous aside about public offices in the United States.
