Title : Little Curiosities - Edouard Charton - Book
Summary :
While reading these little curiosities, the reader must be careful never to lose his vigilance because behind the apparent lightness of the subject lie ideas that could well change the world:
- divert the warm water current that is the Gulf Stream to warm the cold parts of the globe,
- regenerate generations that are suffering from physical weakening by rephosphatising them (using Dr. Foy's phosphovinic elixir – on sale for 4 francs at the Jolly Pharmacy on Boulevard Pasteur)
- generalize the use of the “flash adder”, to avoid tedious brain work and headaches for anyone who wants to perform arithmetic operations…
We will also learn:
- how to avoid the thrill of death, for someone who, taking a locomotive, finds himself propelled at the dizzying speed of 200 km/h
- that the bathroom of our elegant ladies has become a veritable poison laboratory,
- that the stay of books in a room lit by gas helps to reduce their duration,
what were Balzac's habits...
