Book Description
Excerpt from Mene Tekel: A Tale of Strange Happenings "This is exceedingly interesting," exclaimed Joseph Muller, drawing his chair nearer to the window, to obtain a better light upon the newspaper in his hand. The well-known detective was enjoying an hour of unwonted leisure in his own rooms in Vienna. His modest lodgings were located in a quiet residential quarter of the town. Through the open window came a flood of warm sunshine, bringing a hint of spring, although the trees were still bare. The chirping quarrels of the birds added to the sense of country quiet. "Most interesting," murmured Muller again. The item of news which had so caught his attention was a despatch from Stockholm. Professor Clusius, the Wizard of Science, threw out hints of a remarkable new discovery in his lecture at the University yesterday. Without going into technical details, the noted scientist stated that he believed it possible to find some process by which faded writing or colours could be restored to a surface on which they had been impressed, and also, any shadows or light impressions thrown on the surface by forms passing over or near it at any time.

Book Description
Excerpt from Freaks of Fanaticism: And Other Strange Events We are a little surprised, and perhaps a little shocked, at the illiberality of the Swiss Government, in even such Protestant cantons as Geneva, Zurich, and Berne, in forbidding the performances on their ground of the "Salvation Army," and think that such conduct is not in accordance with Protestant liberty of judgment and democratic independence. But the experiences gone through in Switzerland as in Germany of the confusion and mischief sometimes wrought by fanaticism, we will not say justify, but in a measure explain, the objection the Government has to a recrudescence of religious mysticism in its more flagrant forms. The following story exemplifies the extravagance to which such spiritual exaltation runs occasionally - fortunately only occasionally. About eight miles from Schaffhausen, a little way on one side of the road to Winterthur, in a valley, lies the insignificant hamlet of Wildisbuch, its meadows overshadowed by leafy walnut trees. The hamlet is in the parish of Trullikon. Here, at the beginning of this century, in a farmhouse, standing by itself, lived John Peter, a widower, with several of his children.

Book Description
Excerpt from My Debut in Journalism and Other Odd Happenings "If you will come over and see Ferguson right away," wrote my friend, the managing editor of The Plantation Harbinger, "I think you can obtain the position of local editor. Charlie Hurd has lit out." Ferguson was the proprietor of The Harbinger, and I was an ambitious telegraph operator eager to enter the journalistic field, so I went in pursuit of him. I met Hurd on my way over, and asked him what was the trouble, and where he was going. "On the Boston Globe," he answered. "Ferguson does not pay his help." "Why," returned I, "his managing editor, Mr. Pickett, has just written me a note asking me to go and see Ferguson about the situation you have vacated. He said nothing about bad pay, simply stating that you had 'lit out.'" "Pickett is in the ring," observed Hurd, significantly, and he hastened in the direction of the Boston depot.

Book Description
Excerpt from Yorkshire Oddities, Incidents, and Strange Events, Vol. 1 A residence of many years in Yorkshire, and an inveterate habit of collecting all kinds of odd and out-of-the-way information con cerning men and matters, furnished me, when I left Yorkshire in 1872, with a large amount of material, collected in that county, relating to its eccentric children. A friend, when he heard that I was col leeting such material, exclaimed, What are you about? Every other Yorkshireman is a character! Such is the case. No other county produces so much originality - and that originality, when carried to excess, is eccentricity.

Excerpt from A Handy Book of Curious Information: Comprising Strange Happenings in the Life of Men and Animals, Odd Statistics, Extraordinary Phenomena, and Out of the Way Facts Concerning the Wonderlands of the Earth The series of handy books which reaches its third volume with the present publication, - and which is to be continued in the future if this third volume meets with the favor that was accorded to its predecessors, * - is primarily designed as a sort of supplement to the Encyclopaedias. It exploits either such subjects as are deemed, beneath the dignity of more pre tentions works or else such lighter aspects of familiar subjects as are similarly ignored by the Big Wigs.

Book Description
Excerpt from Odd Issues The ominous number of thirteen short pieces are brought together here under one title. For the most part they tell a tale of wrongs and reprisals where after-events did not order themselves in accordance with anticipa tion. Four have not been printed before; the rest have been published. I feel that it is importunate to ask the public a second time to read what has been placed before them already; but I hope that the fact that all the stories have something in common may be allowed to serve me as an excuse for the te-issue of some.
