A RAILWAY WIZARD
Tuft Created a Sensation With His Ver
tical Road
| Americans may lose the use of their
legs. A number of authorities on this
i subject have made the prophecy that
j unless the American mends his ways
and changes the direction in which cer
tain of his habits and tendencies lie
; his legs will become as atrophied as has
become his little toe from close eonfine
| ment in shoes and long disuse.
These authorities have pointed out
, the street car. the automobile and the
average man's eagerness to "get
therf" i u the quickest way and wTth
the least possible effort as the causes
for the present deterioration in legs,
1 and as mechanical locomotion becomes
more and more accessible and the rid
ing habit grows man will have less and i
les t use for his feet and legs.
In addition to electric cars and auto- '
mobiles, another modern device con
tributes to the average man's increas-1
| ing feebleness of limb. That modern
| device is the elevator. To the present j
generation, accustomed to ride from
f tloor to floor and to push the elevator 1
| bell button and wait for the car rath
er than climb a flight of stairs, it prob
ably seem? queer to see or hear the ele
vator mentioned as a modern device.
Men in their youth and even in their
middle age have become so habituated
to the elevator thai they feel that such
a thing always was. or at least that it
is co-eval with brick and stone build
ings. et the elevator is a modern de
vice. and the word "elevator"' in the
application given it in America is new
er still than the contrivance it de
scribes.
Before the demolition of the old
Fifth Avenue hotel in New York there
was in one of the elevators a tablet,
on which was inscribed this: "In this
space was erected and operated in
i I
• ' - ■ t -
FIATtBIkBFRfi STAR-TNDTCPENDENT. TUESDAY EVENING, APRIT, 13, 1915.
1 1559 Tuft's vertical screw railway, the
first passenger elevator ever buMt."
That elevator was one of the chief
wonders of the hotel, which, because of
its luxury and magnificence, was con
sidered one of the wonders of the new
world.
The "vertical railway," which saved
persons the trouble of walking up and
down stairs, was widely written about,
and people came from far and near to
look at the strange invention and to be
able to tell their admiring friends in
Boston. Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington and other cities out in the
provinces that they had been able to
go up and down stairs without walking.
When travelers came from New York
and told about this' vertical screw rail
way to our grandfathers, those worthy
gentleman raised their eyes and hands
in astonishment and probably ex
j claimed: "Will wonders never ceasef"
An English trade paper, the London
"Builder." in September. 1859. had an
editorial on the subject of the vertical i
screw railway in the United States.'
saying: "It is a carriage that will!
j move from the top to the bottom of'
the building and from the bottom to ;
I the top. It will be forced upward by
the application of-steam power, and
the descent will be regulated by the
resistance of hydraulic jiower."
It was not until the early seventies i
that'the vertical railway was intro- :
duped in England, the first "lift" be-1
ing installed in Albert hall, and to ride j
in this passengers were required to pay
a fee of one penny. Conservative peo
ple in America a:id England looked on
this invention with grave suspicion and
"felt it in their bones" that it was
only a question of time when it would
fall down and kill everybody in it.
To-day the lift is nothing like so
common in Europe as the elevator,
which is the same thing, is in the Unit
ed States. One reason for this is that
the United States is the birthplace and
I
the home of the skysernper. while high
'buildings, as buililing heights arc
measured in America, are infrequent iu
Europe.—Washington Star.

FLOATING HOMES
' Barge Dwellers of New York One of |
the Sights of the Harbor
The lot of the harbor bargeman is!
not one for commiseration. He is far |
more independent and content than his '
neighbors in the fetid hives of the !
tenement district which he sees from
his barge as he floats past the river
foot of New York's east side streets.
At evening his floating home is
moored in a quiet dock. He may sit
on his bit of deck and enjoy his after j
supper pipe in quiet as he gazes upon i
the darkling ripples of the water and j
listens to the dying roar of the city's
busy day. His wife sits beside him. I
; putting the last stitches in a gingham I
• garment for their child, who already is >
! in his bunk.
Their cabin is bright and
i out and within. White paint and green
[ trimmings, a bit of striped awning and
a little flagstaff are its outward em-1
I bellishments. Muslin curtains at its I
, tiny windows, geraniums on the sills,
j a cheery nickel clock on its own shelf
I above its foot, in which the son and
cloth, a homemade braided rug upon
1 a bright oilcloth—these give character
|to the living room, or galley. Within
|is the bedroom, perhaps 6 by 8 feet,
with a white iron bed and a bunk
above its foot .in which the son and
heir sleeps peacefully.
There may be a cottage in Xew Jer
sey or down Long Island sound wait
ing this worthy couple when winter's !
ice closes the Hudson and ends their i
season's work, but they make the barge
their home while on it.
Some of these barge homes shelter
families of five or six persons. On
some of the large covered railroad
barges the skipper's house is on tin
roof. Its dimensions may be 10 by 30
feet, affording three rooms. In ' the
"parlor one would not be surprised
to find a sofa, a music machine and
j rucks of records and family portraits
jin crayon, all according to usage

Wisdom Teeth
The so-called wisdom teeth are the
two last molars to grow and they have
I no real connection with the possession
jof wisdom. They take their name from
' the time of their arrival, from 20 to 25
! years, at which age the average person
j is supposed to have reached years of
I discretion. Cutting one's wisdom
| teeth means simply arriving at the
point of completeness in physical equip
ment and has uo direct relation to men
tal equipment. The possession of these
teeth is no guarantee of wisdom. They
grow at about the same age in people
| whether they are wise or not.
