So far from being the last cry In

bulkheads In the middle section of the
ship are condemned as not extending
far enough up above the water line, and
In this fact is seen by many construc-

following the collision with the iceberg
The Titanic is also criticised as having
no Inner bottom as warships have

Senator Guggenheim ..
Goes to New York
To Meet Carpathia

Senator Simon Guggenheim of Col
orado all but despairing Of getting any
news from his brother Benjamin, who is
believed lost with the Titanic, departed
for New York this morning to await
the arrival of the Carpathia. He has
only the faintest hope that his brother
may perhaps be aboard or that some
news may be given of him by the other
passengers. Senator Guggenheim, too.
Still clings to the belief that his brother
may possibly have been picked up by a
fishing vessel or some other craft.
All day yesterday Senator Guggenheim

INVENTOR or CORN BROOM
levi Dickinson, Native of Connecticut,
Fs the Man to BE Accorded
the Honor.

Although it is not generally
known" said manufacturer Of
brooms, ''the house broom, such as
the housewife uses, is comparatively
recent invention, dating back to
1886. Before that time husk brooms
were used to sweep out the ovens and
splinter brooms, made of birch, were
used for everyday use. The present
broom industry might be said to have
had its beginning in Connecticut in
1885, when Levi Dickinson, native
of Weatherfeld, went to Hadley car
rying with him new kind of corn
seed which he showed his friends, say
ing that when full grown it would
make better brooms than ever had
been made. The Hadley women
laughed at him, but despite this, Dick
inson was not discouraged, but har-
vested his first crop of broom corn.
managed to scrape the seed from the
brush with a knife and a hoe, after
which he made his brooms. He made
the complete broom, including the
handles, and grew his own fax for the
Irvine, the whole costing him little.
Believing that his neighbors would re-
fuse to buy the new kind Of broom,
Dickinson in 1898 peddled his brooms
In williamsburg, Ashfield and Con-
way The next year he carried them
to Pittsburg. The new brooms took,
for as soon as housewives found how
much better they were over the old
husk or birch broom they would buy
no other. Other men went into the
business and new industry was born
in Hadley. Dickinson lived until 1843,
long enough to see the Hadley or corn
broom in use all over the country,
and the same broom, with improve
ments, is still in use.'

TOO ELABORATE A SYSTEM
Cards, However, Worked Very
Well for 4 Time.

Mr.. Spiegelhausen found it haro to
remember at home certain things he
had thought of in business hours, and
conversely matters that occurred to
him at night would escape his mind
before he reached the Office next
morning. After trying various I'M
successful methods Of memory culti-
walton, he hit ON the plan Of writing
postal cards to himself and address
ing them to the other place from
which ever he happened to be IN at
the moment. Thus the last mail
would bring to the house one or more
cards with such memo. scrawled
upon it: Remind Mrs. S. to give
my coat to cleaner" and vice versa
the first mail downtown would re-
mind him: 'See ]. T. w. In re. thou
sand lot umbrella canes"
For a time this served the purpose,
but presently his precise and 1farsee-
ing mind began to anticipate and
work more and more in advance, so
that on Monday night he would
mall a card from home saying: Be
sure to send card from Office tomor-
row to remind yourself of dinner en-
gagement Tuesday" Then he got to
jotting down appointments on postal
cards a whole week ahead, sending
other cards to warn himself when to
drop them 1.-The letter box, and final
ly his harassed brain refused to work
any longer on such strain.
One evening his wife asked him
whether he had thought to attend to
the season tickets for the opera, and
he replied with sheepish attempt at
laughter: II suppose that was on the
pile of cards on my desk this morn
ing. / saw the postman bring them,
but / forgot to turn them over and
see what they said.'

SHAVED IN PRIMITIVE TIMES
Sharp Pieces of Flint or Sharks
Teeth Answered in the Early
Days for Razors.

We wear things and use things
daily OF the origin of which we have
not the slightest idea, and were we
to be asked concerning their history
we would be at a loss to answer, the
Port Elizabeth Advertiser remarks:
This was illustrated when two young
men were admiring a well known PIC
ture Of life in the time Of Julius
Caesar which was exhibited in show
window. One of the men remarked,
while looking at the picture, that he
wondered how the Romans kept their
faces smooth, and whether they ever
shaved, and If they shaved, what were
their ra2ors like? Neither of the men
could answer the question, and so
they Immediately consulted various
authorities on the subject and found,
to their surprise, That razors were
used FOR shaving in a very early part
Of the worlds history.
The Egyptian used some kind of
razor, though the Levitical code ex-
pressly forbade the shaving Of the
beard. It is believed the primitive
shaving instruments we're made of
shafpened flints. Savages in the re-
mote islands scattered throughout the
Pacific still use two pieces of flint of
the same size for this purpose, and
pieces of shells or sharks teeth are
also used.

Muscles and Brain.

Experiments conducted by Mosso of
Turin indicate that physical educa.
ton and gymnastics serve not only
for the development of the muscles,
but for that Of the brain as we'll It
is becoming evident, in the opinion of
this authority, that as much time
should be devoted to muscular exer-
else as to intellectual exercise, and
that children should begin reading
and writing only after they are nine
years old.
Muscular fatigue exhibits pheno-
mena Identical with intellectual IA
tigue. Nerve cells show tendency to
rest every ten seconds. 1t is probable
that only part Of the brain is active
at time; the various parts relieve
one another The more mobile any

telligent, other things being equal. 1t

appointments down town.
A group of the most youthful men,
bers, whose lack of years and thought
fulness partly redeems the iniquity of
their performance, often play a trick
on the old man
He loves to tell a certain story, Of a
very rambling character and no par
ticular point. To illustrate the climax
of the story the old man must have
bell at his elbow, which at the proper
moment, with dramatic gesture, he
strikes forcsbly.
He never notices that it is always
at certain psychological moment
that this gay young group lead him to
their table and insist on the story.
He is fattered and tells the story
with great gusto to the applause Of his
listeners.
Crash! His hand falls upon the lit
tie call bell on the table The story
is told.
Just then the waiter summoned by
the bell comes. He gravely presents
the bill for the drinks to the old man.
Still smiling heartily, he signs the
bill and rises with his old-fashtoned
stateliness
Goodnight, gentlemen" he says.
1--WE enjoyed myself immensely"
And he never suspects the young
rogues.-New York Telegram.
