Arriving on U. S. Liner, President, Arthur
‘Nineteen Nationalities Among Passengers
S. S. President Arthur Docking.
New Volk. Or! , N 10,—The President
Arthur, of the United States Lines, when
it arrived at thin port from Hremen,
Cherbourg and Southampton on a recent
trip, brought a unique assortment of pas
sengers. Tlie big liuer lnid 556 voyagers
aboard, representing nineteen different
nationalities. They ranged from Chinese,
Turks, Malays and Hindus to British
subjects and American citizens. There
was also on board an individual, whose
fellow men seldom venture out of their
native clime. This person was a mem
ber, of the Drum-Brum tribe of Mada
gascar.. whose males never work, loafing
about in luxury while tlie women of the
house dte-t fieri Work.

, lug room after tlie liner docked talking
: over the weird ways of the Drum-Drums
• with Captain Paul Krelbohm, when a
i man boarded the ship and asked for the
; subject of tlie conversation?
, He identified himself as a rbprescuta
: five of a big circus, and said that the
• passenger, who was about to be ordered
; to Ellis Island for deportation, was un
■ der contract to appear in his side show.
■ As an artist, the circus man declared,
• the Drum-Drum be admitted though
; he had contracted to npiiear here prior
s to his arrival. Also, he said, that Ac
circus would (are for the man and pay
■ him a good salary, so.that he was sure
uot to be a public charge. Consequently
he was admitted under bou,d.
Tlie Drum-Drum from habit was very
i la#y, aud tlie li(td to put his
> coat on hint, and place .his hat on his
■ head before could get him from the
i pier. The tribesmen get that way. evi
dently from being waited upon at home '
by a dozen or more wives.
To the person speaking only one lan
guage—such as English, the copversa-!
tion of various groups of passengers on |
the President Arthur savored of the Tow- 1
er of Babel. A linguist, however, would I
find this mixture of tongues a delight, as
it would give him the opportunity of
hearing languages in which he is inter
ested " spoken in their purest forms.
Many students of languages, including
school teachers and college instructors, >
who are spending their summer vacations
abroad in ever increasing numbers, have j
chosen the President Fillmore and Pres
ident Arthur to return home on, because
on these liners they are given ample
scope to practice their linguistic .ac
complishments.
Persons interested In learning first
hand the customs of carious peoples, yet,
who in their travels abroad have uot hml
the elianee to visit all the countries they
desire, can by mingling with the other
passengers, pick up a'lot of information
of value during the crossing from the
Continent. If one cannot speak the
tongue of some nationality represented
in the finer. he need not pass up the op
portunity of gaining the knowledge he de
sires. . . —,
Practically ail the stewards on the
President Arthur and Fillmore' are ac
complished linguists and among them is
sure to be one who can act as interpreter
jn practically any tongue, ancient or
modern. The men are always willing *o
help passengers to the best of their abil
ity, hi both attending to their wants and
in aiding persons of different nationali
ties "converse" by acting as interpreters.
Were these stewards able to speak but
one -language, the confusion that would
reign on a ship carrying nineteen differ
ent nationalities Can easily be, imagined.
Tlie average immigrant, after his ar
rival here, quickly learns to sjieak Eng
lish. and a year or so in this country
makes him a pretty thorough master of*
our language. The result is that when
be takes a trip home he is able to con
verse wiHi all on the liner both in his
mother ’ tongue, and that of liis adopted
- country. Because of this fact, the Presei
- dent Arthur, on a trip‘ to Germany, al
! though she may carry passengers of a
< dozen different nationalities by birth, lias
i but few who cannot speak English.
THE WOMAN VOTE.
> Charify and Children.
1 Many, of our eitwos (the writer in
. eluded) were apprelieusive that granting
. the suffrage to women would not change
, the political complexion, but would only
i add complication to the election with no
• beneficial results and perhaps with the
• diminished respect on the part of the
r plfolic for the womanhood of our land.
■ We have seen enough of the extended
r suffrage, however, to say that our fears
were groundless. Becoming,a part of onr
• voting population, lias uot lessened public
( respect for our women, and it has been
i a positive benefit, in the purification of
• politics. ' There is not a political boss in
■ the state who is not afraid of the woman

votow-, The leaders dare not put up a ’

unfit to represent the pepple in any pub
lic capacity. The women are not tied to

land they generally please to vote right, I
especially where the moral element en-
I ters into the situation. A drunkard, a
libertine, a gambler stands a poor show
now-a-dnys of any public office. To be
sure public sentiment has b»en growing
for many years againgt electing men who
[are morally unfit to fill places of public
j trust, but this seutiment lias been im
i mensely strengthened since the suffrage
has been ex-tended to women. As a rule
women do not like to be ruled by a boss.
They are naturally dead against being
ruled. They have no respect for the
steam roller. fir municipal iiolitics this
is especially noticeable. In the town of
Tiiomasville. for instance, n few men with
a little money were nble to disregard tlie
will of the people and elect to office their
own favorites sometimes in the face of the
mass conventions of tlie citizens. That
little trick was tried at our last town
election, and the tavlters would probably
have won but for jthe faithful women,
who stood for the regular nominees, mid
overwhelmed #he irregulars. Women
are more trustworthy in polities than
men. They have Dot yet learned the art
of” trading in polities and have no axes
to grind. They are inclined to vote for
the best man in sight, and if they fail
to do so it is because they are deceived
aud not for any personal or selfish rea
son. Our campaign methods are going to
be put on a higher plane, and the candi
dates henceforth will be selected with
more care.. We are entirely convinced
that woman suffrage will do all that was
claimed for it and more.
Three Billion Pounds of lee Needed for
Fruit Shipments.
Eos Angeles, Oct. 15.—When the 120,- 1
; 000 refrigerated cars of produce now in
process of being moved eastward from
Southern California will have reached
their destination, their consumption of
ice to keep their perishable contents
fresh will total 3,000,000.000 pounds, ac
cording to a semi-official survey com
pleted here.
, For every ear of fruits and vegetables
that leaves this section, eight tons of
ice are required for the initial icing.
Between" Eos Angeles and Chicago an
other seven tons are used. If a car.
goes farther, to New York or some other
Atlantic seaboard point, four more tons
must be added.
Aii-'linusual type of shipment being
handled in completely iced cars is bees,
- In order to move a carload of the honey
; makers eastward, it is necessary to low
-, er the temperature of the ear to offset
the body heat generated by tlie millions
of busy insects, and tints sustain life by
i bringing about what might be termed
- artificial hibernation.
Each year Americans drink 4,000.-

of such beverages as near-beers made of

Women Inventors Are Busy on
Industrial Problems
To learn just what part women were
taking in inventions, government officials
recently undertook a survey that showed
over 5,000 patents had been granted to
them in 10 years, more than the total for
105 years previous. The first patent
granted an American woman was given
by the British government to the wife of
a Pennsylvania planter, for a device to
clean and cure corn. Labor-saving ma
chines are said to make up the majority of
women’s inventions, one making an ap
paratus for scattering fertilizer, another an
article to strip sugar cane, while an adjust
able horse collar was made by a Montana
woman. For, the kitchen, a pie pan was
brought out that prevented juices from
overflowing the brim, and a Wooden mix- i
ing bowl was invented that would not
split. Almost every line of business was
included, but 1.385 patents wane ter j
articles of housekeeping. ,
PAGE SEVEN
Novel Method of Taking Time
Exposures with Hand Camera
Tripods are more or less of an annoy
ance to the camera enthusiast, and few
use them. However, it is sometimes nec
essary to make a time exposure Ao get
the desirrtl picture, but the camera can
not be held steadily enough with the
hands to avoid doubling the image. It
is, however, a simple matter to hold the
camera steady if a cane is carried along.
Just below the crook of the cane two
holes are drilled from opposite sides to
meet in the center, both slanting down
from the point of junction. Another hole
is drilled through the crook to take a
tripod screw, on which the camera is
mounted. A cord is run through the
angular hole, the ends of the cord are
stepped on, and pulled taut by puffing
back on the cane, which has the end
planted on the ground in the position in
dicated, thereby holding the cane firmly
in position. The arrangement thus im
provised is steady enough for long-tune
exposures.
Another method of steadying the cam
era is to cut a length of tape into three
piectss, and to tie or sew these pieces to
gether at the central point as shown,
making a ‘form of the letter Y. Tffljw
are made at the ends so that the foot
can be placed in one loop, and each wrist
in another. Then, with the camera
slapped between both an ujnmh]
