NEW PENCIL SHARPENER

Between the large crank operated
pencil sharpener and the small pocket
one there has hitherto seemed to be
no medium sized article which had
neither cost nor bulk as an objection
to IL. The picture shown below IL
lustrates a novelty in this line. The
upper view shows the front sections
cut away to expose the gearing and
show the position of the pencil. There
is an inner sleeve, In which the PEN
ell is inserted. with a clamp to aid In
holding 1t rigid. The gear wheels are
connected in a train between the outer
hood and the cutting shaft seen at the
side of the pencil. The pencil to be
sharpened Is forced into the sleeve I'M
til IL strikes the cutter. The oper-
ator then grasps the hub In one hand,
places the ru~bber-covered friction ring
in contact with a desk or table top
and rolls the ring on the plane sur
face, which rapidly %revolves the cut
ter in connection with the pencil. Eu-
gene Burke OF I.akeview, Ore, Is the
p~atentee.

Good-byes were %resounding in her

conf. She is not In the habit of talk
ing very much about anything she
feels deeply. At Bryn Mawr, where
she was graduated in '96, she used to
be called intense. She was one of the
quiet kind that always came out at
the head of her class. She had a de-
cided literary bent. which, queerly
enough, was somewhat instrumental
in fostering her acquaintance with the
inventor.
But that happened later in the trip.
During the first few days they ex-

moon shone, when the stars were
bright, and when the sun was obscured

continue their friendship after the

| hats and exchange a formal Hope we
may meet again"
In the course OF the week they spent
together Marconi learned that Miss
Holman was a college girl and quite
capable of understanding something
about the properties OF ether and wave
motions through ether. He talked TO
her n bit ABOUT telegraphic communi-
cation through space without connect-
ing wires. about how ether might con-
duct and carry messages as a land wire
does, about his instruments, his pur-
pose. his ambition.
1t was all very interesting. The
young girl looked at him with faith
in her eyes. and confidence in her voice.
"Oh. you will succeed" she cried
from time to time: 'you must"
He found her an intelligent, charm
ing pupil. Her reassuranccs were mu-
sic to his ears, for he had found him
self a thousand times among doubters.
Becoming more and more Interested
in his new pupil, Marconi suddenly
dropped all talk OF his inventions and
insisted upon delving into her likes
and dislikes, her ambitions and her
life. She was going over to visit in a
number of English houses. He de-
scribed to her what she would find.
She told him her hopes, her fears, her
plans. They had passed from acQuain-
| tances to friends.
Just before we got to the Needles"
| said Miss Holman, "a point or the
south of England. Mr.. Marconi set up
his apparatus in the second cabin and
began sending and receiving messages
sixty-six miles away, while the ship
was going at full speed. 1t was while
at its height, and the news he got
wassprinted in q little paper that he is
sued on shipboard."
OF this little paper Marconi made
Miss Holman his associate editor. II
gave them an excuse for consultations
and talks that might otherwise have
required explanation. Numberless
times the proofs had to be gone over.
Every little phrase required consulta-
ton. The change of a word became
vested with great Importance.
Miss Holman enjoyed her literary la
bors as she had never done before. Per-
haps she did not quite guess why till
Marconi explained to her the state of
his heart. Where this happened and
when neither of them will tell.
This is really and truly my secret"
said Miss Holman. mo one can wrest
II from me. It's one of the things a
woman doesn't want to tell anybody.
It happened. that's all. We didn't in
tend to tell anybody till we were ready
to get married, quite ready, but some
how it leaked out. and now there is
nothing to do but confess"
Miss Holman needn't trouble to con-
fess. Anyone can read her happiness
who looks into her eyes; anyone would
know she had won the man she loves.
81 really can't tie, Just now how II
all happened" she said. 1T didn't
seem to me II ever could be. We met

ruptions except when my mother would
remark gently something about our

II would rather marry that kind of
a mar than a king" said the woman
who has won the great inventor. II
was little Miss Josephine Bowen Hol-
man joyously talking to a Chicago
American correspondent at No. 1853
North Meridian street, indianapolis.
Il was the very first person in the
whole world to know of Signor Mar
coni's great trans-oceanic plans-and
| was one of the first TO know of his
grand triumph. ] am the happiest
woman in all the world! And the
%proudest. too.
Yes. ! was. the first person to know
OF the tr"ans-Oceanic experiment of
SignOr Marconi. 1t has been a terri
BILE state secret with me for a year
or more. 1t was on this business Sig
nor Marconi was coming across the
ocean when VIC became acquainted, I
might say. with each other. He con-
ffded to me the facts at the time, to-
gether with his hopes and eXpecta-
tons; but II swas under the promise
OF strict secrecy, and ! do not want
to discuss them publicly.
I'VE have set no date for mar
riage. This experiment has peer pend
ing, and We decided we could not be
married until he had definitely de-
cided its outcome. 1t has been alb
sorbing all his attention. and we are
waiting until 1t Is completed. ] am,
of course. rejoiced owe the success
that has come to him in his wireless
telegraphy across the Atlantic ocean,"
Marconi himself is not prouder OF
his triumph that the little woman who
is some day to bear his name.
In fact. 1t is safe to say he is not
as proud. He hasn't as much time
as she has.
He has work still to accomplish. He
is on the watch for the lifting of fogs,
the changing OF mid-ocean currents
and a hundred other things that Jo-
sephine Bowen Holman knows about
only in a vague way.
Miss Holman is the happiest woman
In all the world, not only because the
wireless tclegrapher has spanned the
sea. but because she always said he
would.
She never had a doubt OF it, even
when he took the trouble to explain to
her the difficulties. And now the VIC
tory is hers, because-well, she ex-
plains the reason herself by exclaim-
ing: Didn't l always say so?"
Indeed, who shall say hat the faith
Of the woman he loved has not been
a potent factor in Guglielmo M~arconi's
success?
1t is two years now since Josephine
Holman first met the inventor. They
were both going to Europe.
"Oh. blessed chance! would rather
marry that kind of a man than the
greatest title in the world!'
That remark Is Miss Holman's own.
Probably to his dearest chum Mr..
Marconi has said something of much
the same sort, for the results of that
trip marked a happy turn in his life.
The sort of turn that oil men dream
Of and some never find. Marconi fell
in love with the dearest, loyeliest--
but that Is his story. This Is Miss

PALACES ABOUT FLOUR.
That Made by Roller Process More III
gestibis Thar Graham.

Restibis Than Graham.
1t Is the general theory among the
majority of people that graham bread
Is far more digestible than that made
Of -four thoroughly "bolted' or sepa-
rated from the bran and middlings.
Such does not appear to be the fact,
however, II we are to credit recent ex-
periments Of the department of agri-
culture. Digestion experiments were
carefully carried out with bread made
from each of the several kinds of -four
and the proportions of protein assim-
Hated and rejected by the system care
fully determined. The whole wheat
flours may afford a greater proportion
of the mineral nutriments. however, as
this phase of the subject was not
studied, but as far as the available
protein fats, carbohydrates and energy
are concerned the patent roller fiours
are preferable. According to the chem
ical analysis of graham. entire wheat
and standard patent flours milled from
the same lot OF hard Scotch Fife spring
wheat the graham -four contained the
highest and the patent -four the low
est percentage Of total protein. The
results of the digestion experiments
with these flours showed that they
were available in the reverse order
that is, the standard patent roller
-four afforded lesser amounts. This
paradox, that the -four containing the
smallest proportion of protein SHOULD
afford the greatest proportion avail.
able for digestion, is explained by the
coarseness OF the particles OF the
whole wheat varieties. The bran and
germ OF these fiours resist the action
of the digestive juices to a great de-
gree and consequently pass through
the system unaltered. On the other
hand. the finely ground condition of
the patent fiours improves its digesti-
bility. II was also shown that the ad-
dition of wheat starch to -four did
not improve its bread-making qualities
or the size OF the loaf. The most de-
sirable -four for bread-making appears
to be one produced by blending hard
and soft wheat fours, in which the I'M
desirable properties of the gluten OF
each are cOunterbalanced. - Chicago
