Why Clerks Are Popular

The hotel clerk stood behind his little
bar, and, one after another, the guests ar
rived, reports the Philadelphia Record.
Thus, smiling affably, did the hotel clerk
handle them: "Mr. A., I'm glad to see you.
viii you nave your old room, 304, again?
Good! It's vacant, fortunately. How do
you do, Mr.. B.? There are five letters wait
ing for you. l rather expected you tonight,
so l had a fire built in the open crate in
172. You are still fond of open CRATES, l
suppose? Mr.. c., you are just in time. We
engaged a new pastry cook yesterday, and
the boss said he hoped you'd be along soon
to pass judgment on him. Would you like
2S9 again? All right. Front! 289. Hullo,
Mr.. D.! l didn't think you'd visit us this
winter. One Of our mel told us about your
typhoid fever siege. l think you're looking
mighty we'll, all things ce1sidered." Very
wonderful was the hotel clerks memory,
and very pleasant was the effect Of 1t upon
the faces of the guests. Their worn and
harried look vanished; they smiled; It de-
lighted them to be welcomed so agreeably.
And thus does the typical hotel clerk Of the
big city conduct himself always, doing
more by his tremendous memory and tre-
mendous tact than any other employe to
help his boss get rich.

the latest styles known and designed by
the up-to-date American manufacturer.
Some of the furniture in this consign-
ment is strictly new in style and may In
time be known as designs of the Twentieth
Century; other pieces are in imitation Of
Old Colonial or French patterns of the If
teenth or sixteenth century.
In short, a shipment such as this includes
furniture in style and price suitable for
both masses and classes, and few retail
dealers would experience any difficulty in
selecting a complete seasons stock from
this one consignment.
The accompanying photograph of the first
section Of the train is necessarily incom-
plete and shows only a few of the sixty
cars. The two trains came over the Chi
cago G. Northwestern railway and the run
to Omaha was made practically by daylight.
1t was not only the largest single c~onsign>
ment Of furniture ever made, but was prob
ably the longest train of any one single
commodity ever carried across the country
and that one statement alone gives an ade-
quate conception Of the consignment.

Some idea Of Omaha's Importance as a
wholesale distributing center for the entire
west may be gained from the fact that the
Beebe & Runyan Furniture company have
just received the largest single shipment
OF furniture ever made. The furniture was
made in the great factory of the Nation
Manufacturing company Of Sheboygan, Wis,
and its transportation required sixty fifty
foot furniture cars in two special trains,
which are now upon sidetracks in Omaha
and being unloaded into the warehouses Of
the Beebe G Runyan company. Few people
outside of the trade realize the immense
amount Of goods required to make up a
single shipment of sixty cars. Reduced to
figures, it means LOTTO feet of lumber
used in construction, 600 men employed in
its manufacture and twenty days time con-
sumed by these 600 men on the entire con-
signment. 1t means 2,243 pieces of chamber
suites, 346 assorted beds, 1,460 dressers, $50
sideboards, 1,64O chiffoniers, 1,741 extension
tables and 5000 kitchen and cabinet tables.
In all, a grand total Of Is, $50 pieces Of fur
niture. The total wholesale value Of the
Omaha daily bee., 1902-02-16

Offices and salesrooms are located at Tenth
and Farnam streets, convenient to the busi-
ness section of the city and near three OF
the street car lines. Two floors, 66x1S2 feet
each, are occupied and arrangements are
now being made for more room. Three
warehouses are in use-one at Thirteenth
and Grace streets Of three floors, each 112x
1872 feet, and two at Thirty-frst and
Spaulding. One of these is 50x150 feet,
three floors. and the other 12Ox120 feet and
Ave floors. The company has also secured a
building 50x15O feet, three floors. at Six
teenth and Grace streets for a factory and
machinery is now being installed. 1t will
be in operation In about ten days and a full
line Of parlor furniture, couches, mat
tresses, etc., will be manufactured.
1t is not unreasonable to suppose that the
Beebe & Runyan company may make still
larger shipments in the future and that the
time may come when more than two special
trains will be required to transport their
immense purchases, but at present their
big shipment stands without a parallel In
the history of western merchandising.

Just how many western homes this guam
tity Of furniture will supply may be left
to the readers imagination, but 1t is safe
to assume that most of 1t will be in use be-
fore another year rolls around. 1t will be
distributed to dealers in all sections of the
west and a large part Of 1t will be sent out
on orders now in the house.
The Beebe & Runyan company is one of
the largest wholesale furniture houses in the
west and has been built up from a com
paratively small beginning. This has been
due in part to the wide-awake spirit and
business progressiveness of the firm and in
part to the fact that Omaha has grown to
be a great western distributing center and
that the merchants of the west have found
1t more convenient and cheaper to place
their orders here than to depend upon Chi
cage and points further east, for the rea-
son that Omaha is one of the most con-
~venient distributing points to the principal
factories of the United States.
The Beebe & Runyan company occupy at
the present time five large buildings. The
Omaha daily bee., 1902-02-16

shipment was something in excess of
$40, 900, and this amount represents only
first cost. While this is an unusually large
shipment, 1t by no means expresses the
volume Of business handled by the Beebe &
Runyan company, as this is only one OF
twenty-five factories from which furniture
is regularly received. 1t is not unusual
for this firm to send out of Omaha sixty
car lots Of furniture within a single month.
In making the foregoing estimate of the
number Of men and the length of time re-
quired for the factory to fill such an order
1t must be borne in mind that the figures
apply only to the actual handling of mate
rial after 1t is ready for the manufacturer.
Six hundred men handling the prepared
lumber in a modern factory equipped with
all the latest labor-saving machinery are
capable Of an immense output and it would
be an interesting study to follow the va
rious processes from the standing timber to
the finished product.
This shipment of furniture represents
nearly all the known kinds of wood utilized
in the cabinet makers art and made up in
even the common people appreciate learn
ing.
How Plums Got Dimples.
Indeed, everything here has SOM senti-
ment connected with 1t. l bought a handful
of beautiful plums the other day and re-
marked on the dimple which each has in its
side, when l was told how the dimples came
to be. Said my Chinese guide; Centuries
ago there was in the town of Kowshing a
princess who was noted for her beauty. She
was fond Of fruit and one day while eating
some plums picked out an especially fine
one and pressed her finger into 1t. The
pressure left a dimple. She tasted the plum
and found it so delicious that she planted
the stone. 1t grew into a tree which bore
other plums equally sweet, but each of the
new plums, strange to say, had a dimple in
its side. The plums were so fine that they
became famous all over China. Crafts from
the tree were carried everywhere, so that

SCIENTIFIC VOTES.

The air Of heated rooms Is changed
quite rapidly through the wallis in cold
weather. More than twenty years ago
Flugge estimated that this "spontane-
GUS" ventilation would completely re-
new the air Of a small room every hour
when the difference between inside and
outside temperature Is 25 degrees
Fahrenheit; but a somewhat slower
rate has been obtained since by H.
Wolpert In measuring the hourly dimi-
mutton Of an excess Of %carbonic acid In
an unoccupied room. In a room Of
1000 cubic feet. with painted walls. the
passage Of air per hour for each de-
gree Of temperature difference was
somewhat less than one-hundredth Of
the total air OF the room. But the rate
was considerably greater with s
~ walls covered with paper. and three
times as rapid with ordinary white
washed walls.

ENoMAalnN steam NemeEaAoFs
In the novel steam generator Of Hen
ry Brady. an Australian inventor. the
water tubes to the number needed are
bored lengthwise through fat copper
blocks three inches or more thick. the
ends Of the holes being connected by
semi-circular bends 20 as to form a
continuous tube from one side OF the
block to the other. The blocks are so
arranged that the bot gases from the
furnace pass around the lower one be-
meath a second and around this be-
meath a similar series OF tubes in the
cast iron top OF the boiler. The water
is fed into the iron tube, where It be-
comes heated, then it passes success
sively through the top and bottom Sc
ries Of copper tubes and enters a re-
ceiver as steam under a pressure Of 100
pounds or more. It is claimed that,
for the same power, this generator
occupies only a tenth Of the space Of a
multitubular boiler and Is only a fourth
as heavy, while IL cannot be exploded,
is self-cleaning and 1t can be heated to
lO0-horsepower capacity in ten min

In many parts Of the country there

hcient to produce good slelghing or re-

Solar Activity During Years 1ss3-10OO.
From a close investigation Of the
solar records Of the period 183S-190O
DR.. W. J. s. Lockyer concludes that
there is an alternate increase and de-
crease in the length Of a sun spot
period reckoning from minimum to
minimum. The epoch Of maximum
varies regularly with respect to the
preceding minimum, the amplitude Of
variation being about eight-tenths Of
a year plus and minus and the cycle
being about t%hirty-five years. The
total spotted area varies regularly in a
cycle Of about thirty-hye years. Gil
mate variations, frequency of auroras
and magnetic storms are, he concludes,
in general accordance with the thirty
five year period and there is no indi-
cation Of a ffty-hve year cycle.
