An American naturalist recounts gulls following a steamer at twenty miles per hour. A cracker piece dropped overboard vanishes from sight as the gull finds and retrieves it after a short distance. A postage stamp lures the bird but — misled — it abandons the hunt and returns to its post.

A reflective article surveys famous figures from antiquity to the Renaissance, noting missteps in language and public discourse. It claims mediocrity can chatter while genius observes, citing Seneca and Socrates alongside poets and philosophers in a critique of eloquence and social ease.
