• Since Melville was clever at tinkering with things and coming up with new ideas, Anna suggested that he find a way to make a better mechanical carpet sweeper. He set himself to the task and created a sweeper with rolling wheels and a belt that drove a cylinder with bristles that picked up dirt and dust and brushed it into a removable compartment.

• Susan’s husband, nicknamed “Boss,” owned a local leather goods manufacturing shop, and was so fascinated by Spangler’s invention that he bought the patent from him. He hired him as a partner, and soon had six employees making suction sweepers in one section of his shop. • He placed an ad in the “Saturday Evening Post” magazine offering ten days free use of a Suction Sweeper to anyone who wrote with a request. Rather than simply shipping them a sweeper, he sent the customers to local stores in their area that had agreed to become dealers. In short order he had a nationwide network of dealers as well as teams of salesmen who went door-to-door demonstrating the product, ensuring that the vacuum cleaners would soon become a standard household item.

DUST (from page one) drop whole coffee beans into hot water in order to dissolve them. Instead, we grind them into soluble powdery bits. Likewise, we add soap flakes to our laundry rather than the whole soap bar. The smaller the particle the greater the percentage of surface area and the amount of interaction that can take place. But sometimes that can be a problem. GRAIN DUST

• When grain is poured into a grain elevator, billions of tiny grain dust particles fly into the air and float suspended like a cloud in the enclosed silo. If the dust cloud is mixed with oxygen it becomes highly unstable and explosively flammable, ingited by even the tiniest spark. Sometimes a static electricity spark or simply the flipping of a light switch is all that is needed to cause the disastrous results of a massive explosion.

UNAVOIDABLE DUST

• It’s been estimated that there are over 1,500 tiny particles of dust in a typical cubic inch of air, even in filtered air that’s considered to be ‘clean.’ Human lungs take in about 14,000 quarts of air daily, and contained in that volume are about a billion and a half particles of dust. One of the major components of house dust is microscopic flakes of human skin. You inhale an enormous number of microscopic particles of your own skin flakes daily. NASA’S DUST COLLECTION

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

By Samantha Weaver

 It was back in the 19th century that American author and philosopher Henry David Thoreau made the following sage observation: “Men have become the tools of their tools.”  Clinomania is an affliction that affects a large percentage of the American population. If you suffer from an overwhelming desire to stay in bed, you’re one of us.  If you’re like most parents, at one time or another you’ve been shocked by how quickly your kids outgrow things -- especially shoes. What may be an annoyance in a developed country is a major problem in undeveloped areas of the world; Kenton Lee is working on changing that. As a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya, he noticed that many children had the toes cut out of their shoes just so they could fit in their feet. After returning home, Lee developed an adjustable sandal that can grow with a child, increasing up to five sizes via a system of snaps. Although the shoe is only made available to nonprofits for those in need, domestic demand is increasing. If you’re a parent sick of buying seemingly endless pairs of new shoes, you’ll be glad to hear that Lee and his team are working on a commercial version.  You might be surprised to learn that actor David Duchovny, best known for his role in “The X-Files,” was just a dissertation away from being awarded a doctorate in English literature.  In 16th- and 17th-century Europe, it was considered fashionable to attend public dissections of human bodies. So-called anatomy days often included music, speeches and processions. Viewers could even pass around body parts for inspection, though taking the parts home was forbidden. *** Thought for the Day: “You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can from a kind word alone.” -- Al Capone

• The word “smog” was invented in 1905 by a person describing the combination of fog and coal smoke over London. London smog led to one of the deadliest dust episodes in history. • On December 5, 1952, a temperature inversion hovered over London. A layer of cold air was trapped under a layer of warm air which acted like a lid. Sulfurous coal soot was trapped in the air around the city with no way to escape.

Matt and Ted have a new show airing on Ovation TV called “Southern Uncovered with the Lee Brothers,” which premieres Sunday, June 14, at 8 p.m. ET. In each of six episodes, Matt and Ted explore a different city in the South, seeking to expose the unique and unexpected sides of Southern cuisine and culture. I spoke with Ted about their new series, and he told me: “This is the show I feel like we were meant to do all Ted Lee along. The food culture now is so exciting. There are so many Southern cities that we can explore.”

How Divorce Can Affect Your Social Security Benefits

Divorced Survivor You also need to know that if your ex-spouse dies, and you were married for 10 or more years, you become eligible for divorced “survivor benefits,” which is worth up to 100 percent of what your exspouse was due. Survivor’s benefits are available to divorced spouses as early as age 60 (50 if you’re disabled). But, if you remarry before 60 you become ineligible unless the marriage ends. Remarrying after age 60 will not affect your eligibility.

Woman’s Eyebrows Have Almost Disappeared DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an active 63-year-old female of normal weight. I exercise several times a week and am in seemingly good health. About a year ago I noticed that my eyebrows were disappearing, starting on the outer edges. They are now almost completely gone. During my annual physical in November, my general physician found that I have thyroid nodules. Three large ones were biopsied and proved negative. Blood work, including a TSH level, is normal. Both my GP and dermatologist feel certain that the nodules are not causing the eyebrow problem, because I don’t have any other symptoms of thyroid disease, but they don’t know what is causing the loss. -- K.F. ANSWER: The loss of eyebrows, superciliary madarosis, has many possible causes, but low thyroid is the first that most doctors think of. A TSH level is a reasonable screening test for thyroid disease, but if the suspicion is high, I check additional thyroid tests, such a thyroxine (T4), free T4 and T3. Occasionally TSH still can be in the very broad “normal” range for most people but be abnormal for that person. Other causes of eyebrow loss include autoimmune disease, inflammatory skin conditions and infection. Repeated plucking of the eyebrows can lead to permanent loss of the follicles. Allergies to cosmetics also can cause eyebrow and eyelash loss. Have you changed your makeup

ANSWER: Having a strong immune system is always a good idea. However, supplements, even those that say they are good for the immune system, have no proof that they prevent colds or shorten their duration. A healthy diet, exercise and good sleep are much better for your immune system than any supplement. Some readers insist that these products are effective for them, but the science so far has not proven it. Also, any drug, herb, vitamin or other supplement always has the potential for side effects. I would advise you to save your money. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I often wonder if the white mold one sees on supermarket blueberries is at all dangerous to one’s heath. I’ve eaten a few with such mold, but with no apparent effect. -- A.W.

Eat berries right away, before they can get moldy, and if you notice that they are moldy as soon as you get them home from the store, take them back. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer

M.D.

recently? *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a 42-year-old woman in good health. I am beginning a new job soon, and I feel it’s a good idea to build up my immunity before I work in this new environment. I chose an over-the-counter support supplement, but I am coming down with a cold! I have found that I regularly react in this way to vitamins and supplements. Is this common? -- D.F.

ANSWER: I contacted an expert at Michigan State University, who told me that the white mold is likely a type of trichoderma. Trichoderma are not usually dangerous to humans, although some people can have an allergic reaction to it. Still, moldy blueberries are likely to be old, not have as many nutrients and not taste so good.

Attached is a photo of a porcelain pitcher that I’ve had for many years. It stands about 7 inches tall and is about 5 1/2 inches at the fullest point. It is decorated with hunting scenes on both sides -- with dogs, horses, riders and trees -- and they are all slightly raised. The handle is the shape of a dog. There is a mark on the bottom, with the words “Wedgwood -- 4KE -- 12 -- Made in England -- C5236.” All the words at the top are impressed into porcelain and not colored. The “C5236” mark is in the center and in black. It would be interesting to learn whether the pitcher has any value.

DUST (from page page 3) This is what makes bran cereal so rough. When the plants die and deteriorate, their phytoliths are released into the air as dust. DUST TRIVIA

• The German word “dunst,” meaning vapor, gives us our word dust. • The word dirt comes the Old Norse “drit” meaning excrement. • “Manure” and “maneuver” have the same origin, the Old French word “manoeuvrer” meaning to till the soil or to work by hand.

TEE UP

• “Bonfire” comes from “bonefire,” a fire built to cremate a dead body. • A tiny grain of dust floating in a sunbeam is about halfway in size between a sub-atomic particle and the size of the planet Earth. • When astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin returned from the moon, they dutifully declared their lunar rocks and moon dust on standard customs forms. • Dust storms in Arizona cause about 40 traffic accidents in an average year. • Just when people in a Texas town met to decide the name of the city, a violent sandstorm whipped up dust in huge clouds. Taking this as a sign from God, the town was named Earth. • During medieval times, mummies found in Persia were ground into dust and sold as medicine. ‪

Play Better Golf with JACK NICKLAUS

Folding Down for Speed The elbows aren’t typically in the big magazine articles when it comes to producing power or hitting better shots. Yet, allowing the arms to fold at the right time can certainly increase hand and clubhead speed. It’s not a matter of gluing the arms to the body so they have no choice but to fold in the swing, but understanding what each arm does at nearly equal opposite points in the swing.

When the hands are half way back and halfway through in the swing, the left and right elbows are folding fairly equally. The right arm in the backswing, and the left in the follow through. The elbows should be pointing downward as well, not pointing to the horizon, and are separate from the body at this point. Picture making a “W” with your arms while in a golf posture as the best way to illustrate the elbow action. Your palms will ADVERTISING PROOF be facing forward and upward slightly to mimic FinaltheChanges DUE: 5:00 proper hand position as well.
