Jack, a baboon, was employed by the South African railways from 1881 to 1890 as a signalman. His owner, James "Jumper" Wide, had lost both his legs in a railway accident and trained Jack to assist him with his duties. Jack quickly learned to operate the railway signals, and his remarkable accuracy and reliability earned him an official employment status. He was paid twenty cents a day and received half a bottle of beer each week as part of his wages. Jack's performance was so impressive that he never made a single mistake throughout his entire career.
An official investigation was initiated after a concerned member of the public reported seeing a baboon changing railway signals. The investigation confirmed Jack's competence, and he continued to work without any issues. Jack's story became a testament to the extraordinary bond between him and his owner, as well as his incredible ability to perform complex tasks. His legacy lives on as one of the most unique and fascinating tales in railway history.

In 1746, Jean-Antoine Nollet, a French physicist and clergyman, conducted a groundbreaking experiment to study the speed of electricity. He arranged 200 monks in a circular formation spanning 1.6 kilometers and connected them with a continuous length of iron wire. Nollet then passed an electric charge through the wire, which simultaneously shocked all the participants.
Observing the instantaneous reaction of the monks to the electrical discharge, Nollet concluded that electricity traveled at an extraordinarily high speed, too fast to measure accurately with the tools available at the time.
This experiment was one of the earliest attempts to study electrical phenomena systematically and provided critical insights into the nature of electricity and its behavior over long distances.
