The winter was remarkably mild, no snow had fallen, but storms were frequent. One evening about 9 o'clock, after a violent gust of wind, the night became so dark that riders could no longer see even the heads of their horses, and so violent a storm arose that the horses were forced to halt; but their ears became speedily luminous at the tops, as also all the long hair of the body, with exception of that of the mane and tail. All the metallic ends of the harness became luminous, as if they were covered with a swarm of luminous worms. The whiskers of M. Bourdet, and that of the other cannoneers, also shone; but neither the eyebrows nor hair became luminous. This appearance continued as long as the gust of wind; that is, about three or four minutes. As soon as the wind ceased, the luminous appearances vanished, and a violent shower of rain fell."  "Phénomène Électrique." Musée des Variétés Littéraires, 1 (no. 1; June 1822 ): 41-42.]

Several of these cannon balls have been found in Seattle and identified as originating from the Battle of Seattle, fought on January 26, 1856. The small settlement of Seattle was threatened by local Indian tribes; and, sixteen 32-pounder cannon aboard the Decatur and two 9-pounder cannon on shore were used to bombard the surrounding woodlands. The area of the settlement is now known as the Pioneer Square-Skid Road Historic District, in downtown Seattle. The Great Seattle Fire in 1889 burned what remained of the original settlement; and, the reconstruction of the area mandated brick and stone buildings at an elevated level. Cannon balls were also in 1890 and 1905, and a few of these have been collected in Seattle's Museum of History and Industry.]

"In the first place, the frame of the vessel is not stranded in any part of the depression noted above, but is situated many miles away at an altitude of several hundred feet above the sea-level. Secondly, the alleged wreck is not the dismantled hulk of a deep-water vessel, on the contrary, it was originally designed as a ferry-boat of dimensions so small that two men might paddle or 'pole' it across the river." "Timber is scarce in the region through which the river flows, and when the projector of the enterprise determined on building a new boat he found it necessary to lay the frame at a distance of many miles from the ferry-landing, because there was no available lumber nearer at hand. When at length the frame was completed, the builder sought to drag it to the landing by means of half a score or more of bull-teams. But the frame was heavy, the sand deep, and the weather intensely hot, as a result, most of the teams perished for want of water, and the half-framed boat was abandoned to the mercy of the sand storms. The projector of the enterprise was living near the Colorado River as late as 1884 or '85." "Regular Meeting, November 21st, 1870." Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences, s. 1, 4 (1868-1872): 145-147. "Mr. Hanks read a carefully prepared report upon the subject of the remains of a ship alleged to have been seen in the Colorado Desert, forty miles north of Fort Yuma, near the San Bernardino Road. He gave the newspaper history of the subject, and the result of his correspondence with various parties at San Bernardino, Los Angeles and San Diego. His enquiries had elicited nothing but hearsay evidence. There is positive testimony that numerous persons have seen at the distance of a few miles, an object that they believed to be the wreck of a large ship imbedded in the sand, at a spot which is watery and inaccessible during portions of the year."]

Guernsey Star, April 15, 1880, p. 4 c. 5. "At last the rara avis has been found: the most marvellous phenomenon which has ever been seen since the world existed has been discovered." We quote from tho Vigie de Cherbourg, which is responsible for the authenticity of the following details concerning the living infant wonder at present domiciled at Cherbourg, but shortly to be despatched to Paris in order to be presented to the French Academy of Medicine. The phenomenon is a baby, aged six months, named Augustine Lavir, the nape of whose neck has the singular gift of producing an uninterrupted succession of feathers. Twenty-three have already sprouted, reached maturity, and fallen off, to be carefully stored up by the infant's father, a working man, whose fortune may be considered made if the amazing story turns out correct. The manner in which these feathers grow is thus described. A pimple forms on the nape of the neck, quite close to the roots of the hair. At the expiration of a certain time the pimple blossoms into a feather, the child, at the moment when it appears, seeming to experience a slight uneasiness. The feather, which is curved and gilded, attains, when fully grown, from ten to twelve centimetres in length. When it falls a few drops of a white-ish colour issue from the pimple, which then heals, leaving no trace of its existence for a while until another appears, enclosing the germ of another feather. A curious circumstance, says the Vigie, is that the feather remains six days on the infant's neck when fully grown before falling, and that its successor takes as many days to sprout as its predecessor to reach maturity. The father of the phenomenal child intends bringing it to Paris within a few days in order to ask science to investigate the causes of this freak of nature which, if it really exists, is certainly one of the strangest one has heard of recently."]

[Other phe] / (Fifth page, reverse side) 1878 / Oct. 5 / (First page, front side) One afternoon early in Oct, 1878, Mr. Davy, a naturalist, employed at the Aquarium, walked through streets of London with an animal that blocked streets with crowds wherever it went. Cabs stopped and busses drew up at pavements. Mr Davy kept on with the animal and more excitement was caused by a party of ex-slaves, then playing in London, in Uncle Tom's Cabin, following, shouting, shreiking, clapping their hands. It was such an animal as no one had ever seen before. It had a tail like a pig's, and a wirey hair; as if with no abdomen, the hind legs were joined to the fore ribs: the head was like a wild boar's, but somewhat dog-like. To inquirers Mr. Davy said that the animal had been given to him by Mr. Lemann, who had seen it with some peasants in the south of France, and had bought it, but had been unable to learn anything about it because he could not speak their patois. Finally Mr. Davy fled to the Underground Railway. Here he was compelled to travel in the brake, because it was feared that there would be a panic among the passengers. Mr. Davy showed the animal at the Aquarium, where it was thought to be a hybrid between a dog and a wild boar. Davy took the animal to his home. Here the landlord ordered him to take it out, and the animal, turning toward the landlord, frightened him so that he shut himself in his parlor. Then Davy took the animal to Frank Buckland. In Land and Water, of which he was editor, issued of Oct 5, 1878., Buckland writes that of all hideous monsters dead and alive that he had ever seen this was the most curious. The creature was about two feet square. "He looks like a gargoyle or one of Fuselli's satanic animals. "What became of the animal is not said. Mr B does not say what he thought of it. In the next issue of L. and W. Thomas Worthington, a naturalist, argues that the idea of the boar-dog hybird was "utterly untenable". He thought it was a tame hyena, of some abnormal kind. How an abnormal hyena got into the possession of French peasants, he does not take up. [SF-V: 199.1 to 199.11. (Land and Water, October 5, 1878.) (Land and Water, October 12, 1878???) Davy, (no first name found, also called Auceps, Latin for a fowler, by Buckland), is mentioned in a few newspapers and in Buckland's book, "Notes and Jottings From Animal Life," as an eminent bird-catcher, (neither Humphrey Davy nor John Davy). No mention of this incident was found in contemporary newspapers, (which did report the Uncle Tom's Cabin play and the manatee at the Royal Aquarium, nor in Buckland's later books.]

The phenomena in question were witnessed even more clearly and unmistakably in Bangalore than in Madras, as I had an opportunity of judging by personal observations in both places. Just before sunset the sun was observed to be of a deep sea-green colour, and the moon, when it rose, was of the same hue and did not resume its normal colour and brilliance till it had reached its zenith. On the evening of Saturday last [September 15] another curious feature of the phenomenon was observable, which I have not seen noticed in any of the local papers. The sun set at 6 p.m., in I

its hired coat of green, but twilight of a peculiar rich, golden colour, continued till very near 8 o'clock. At the same time the western horizon was bathed in a blaze of red, while the eastern sky looked as if it had been painted with indigo. The moon itself was of a green hue till it was on the decline, when, at about 2 a.m. on Sunday morning, happening to look out of my bedroom window, I observed that the orb was of a bright pick colour."]

"Electrical Scientific." Electrical Review, 9 (October 30, 1886): 8. "Investigation of the story about Willie Brough, the boy living at Turlock, in the San Joaquin valley, who was supposed by superstitious people to set fire to objects by merely fixing his eyes upon them, exploded that part of it, of course. He is evidently overcharged with electricity to a remarkable extent. The snapping of his fingers causes sparks to fly. Popular excitement has been so great since the story of the sinister power of Master Brough was circulated, that the father has felt impelled to move away, and has gone to reside on the other side of the San Joaquin river, taking refuge with his family in a cottage in the cottonwood timber, a long way from village or railroad. A correspondent found him there. He denied that his son had caused fires, but admitted that he had told him that when lying in bed at night he saw sparks flying about him. Willie is an extremely nervous boy, eleven years old, with a largely developed head. In a melancholy way he told the correspondent that he did not know how the mysterious fires occurred, but said he saw sparks about his own body at night. M.A. Kuhlman, who keeps a school in Mercer county, in which the alarm first began, describes how five fires broke out in one afternoon in different parts of the school-house, being caused by no visible agency. Other scholars were hastily dismissed, but Willic Brough was detained. A few minutes later he fixed his eyes on a hay shed a few yards distant and called the teacher's attention to the fact that smoke issued from the same. Very soon it was in a blaze. The teacher forbade him to come to school any more. He does not believe him guilty of arson, but is inclined to think he is a victim of supernatural agencies. On the previous Sunday eleven mysterious blazes occurred in the house of William's father. One broke out at a corner of the roof, another in some bedding in the middle of the floor and the third charred grain sacks in the barn. Willie looked at a straw stack near by, and flames issued out of the top. The mother of the boy is prostrated with excitement and anxiety."]

In the town of Manlius, on lot fifty-six, are two remarkable bodies of water, called by the various names of 'Crater Lakes,' 'Green Lakes,' and sometimes one of them is called 'Lake Sodom.' They are near each other, in the same valley, and are connected by a small brook, which flows from the southwest, or upper, to the lower pond. The upper one, or Lake Sodom, which is by far the most interesting, is nearly circular, having a diameter of a quarter of a mile, and a depth of water of one hundred and fifty-six feet. The surface being one hundred and fifty feet below the top of the banks, that in a circular form surround it, except on one side, makes the whole excavation over three hundred feet in depth." "Lake Sodom is forty-four feet above Onondaga lake. The lower pond is quite like the upper, except in its form, having a prolongation on its eastern side, running for nearly half a mile between gradually declining hills. It is one hundred and sixty-five feet deep. Both these bodies of water are in the gypseous rocks, and a quarry of this mineral is worked on the banks of one of them. To these rocks the waters owe their peculiar characteristics. Dr. Emmons found in a gallon, one hundred grains of saline matter, a large part of which was sulphate of lime, 'with a sufficient quantity of crenate of lime to impart a bitter taste.' Prof. Silliman says of Lake Sodom: 'The bottom is a grass green slate; the sides white shell marl, and the brim black vegetable mold; the waters perfectly limpid. The whole appears to the eye like a rich porcelain bowl, filled with limpid nectar. But to the taste it is the Harrowgate water.' Dr. Beck says, that 'the water drawn from the bottom of the pond, is strongly charged with sulphuret of hydrogen. It blackened silver powerfully, and gave copious precipitates with solutions of oxalates of ammonia and muriate of barytes, indicating the presence of sulpureted hydrogen and sulphate of lime. Its specific gravity was scarcely above distilled water, and it contained not even a trace of iron. Thus we have here a spacious sulphur bath; a fact which exhibits, in a most striking manner, the extent and power of the agency concerned in the evolution of this gas.'"]
