A Chronology of Odd Topics From A Distant Page
The article surveys a mix of science notes and social portraits including a French clock using two types of batteries, experiments on steam disinfection, a defamatory king in exile Ja Ja of Opobo, and contrasts between New York bachelors and Parisian living. It recounts Ja Ja’s brutal rule, exile in Kingston, and a sparse royal camp with his wife Patience.

Lavish apartment hides paintings worth tens of thousands
A stocky valued as an importing house manager on Worth street describes a Met Opera House visit. In a cavernous octagonal drawing room, 36 000 to 70 000 dollars of paintings line plush lounges and bronzes. The man, about forty, lives alone, rejects marriage, and indulges his fancies in a lavish home. A humorous aside from a Philadelphia Times correspondent ends with a joke about a dining room cartridge incident in Time.
