I love to read scientific magazines.
You can learn so much about
windlasses, gears, brakes, steam engines, Mr. Howes Incredible Sewing Machine
and so on and so forth.
So let us get on with the learning of science.
They
have me wondering. How is this glass coffin working out?
Do
the relatives sit around with their guarantees of "slow
decomposition."
If
so, do they have a lawyer at hand in case things don't work out too well?
Or
possibly these coffins are only for those who "lay in state" whatever
that means.
In
either situation, I would keep a case of incense at hand.
That is not the woodcut of the steamship "Cambria", it is a schooner. Sheeeesh.
Now
this Henry fellow, the one "who lately attempted to shoot the King of
France,"
Was
he late in his attempt or was this a recent attempt? And what the heck are the
galleys?
Does
he have to work in a kitchen or does he have to remain chained to a bench and
row one of those boats for the remainder of his life?
That Prince Radziwill - - - he is
such a cut-up.
And "four girls of uncommon
beauty."
Sounds
like the Deutsche concept of 'polymorphously perverse' didn't have much over
the prince.
And weren't we all just dying
to hear our good correspondent from Providence, Rhode Island expound on the
size of an eagle's wings?
