On June 8, 1869, Ives W. McGaffey patented a suction-type vacuum cleaner in Chicago, IL. Called the Whirlwind, it was difficult to use because the operator had to manually turn a crank while pushing it across the floor. Come along with Tidbits as we vacuum up the dust!

UNAVOIDABLE DUST• It’s been estimated that there are over 1,500 motes of

dust in a typical cubic inch (2.5 cm) of air, even air that’s considered to be ‘clean.’ Human lungs take in about 14,000 quarts (13,250 l) of air daily, and contained in those 14,000 quarts of air 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 about 700,000 of your own skin flakes daily.

• What is dust? It’s salt from the sea, single-celled diatoms from the oceans, forest fire smoke, volcano ash, bacteria, viruses, fungus spores, mold, pollen, and insect parts. About half of the dust that floats around in the air is a result of human activities such as agriculture, industry, and transportation.

SNIGLET DEFINITION• ‘Frust’ is the small line of debris that refuses to be swept

onto the dust pan and keeps backing a person across the

• Here’s a grill tip just in time for summer: When you need to cook something that needs cov-ering (say, chicken) alongside

something that does not (like hot dogs), simply invert an aluminum roaster/cake pan over the needs-covering item. You can purchase smaller size pans that can be reused. -- JoAnn

• “I have a tip about taking medicine. Regardless of the size of the pill, I always feel as if it is stuck in my throat. I have started to have a chunk of banana after taking a pill. I don’t get that stuck feeling anymore.” -- T.B. in New Hampshire

• “The sticky residue from price tags can be really annoy-ing. I use WD-40 to get it off. Works every time for me!” -- J.K. in Alabama

• “Painting stairs? This tip will save your life! Paint every other step to start with. When they are dry, go back and paint the others. This way, you can use the staircase any-time during your project. This is particularly important if the stairs are the only way to get to bed after a long day of painting!” -- I.L. in Nevada

• Mix a quarter cup of salt in with two tablespoons of bath wash for a sudsy, refreshing, skin-soothing salt scrub.

• To travel with pleated skirts, use this packing trick: Turn the skirt inside out, and straighten all the pleats. Then tape the bottom so that all the pleats are held together. Next, feed the skirt into a leg of pantyhose with the foot cut off. You’ll end up with a nice tube, which you can tuck into the side of your luggage.

Cleaning is just putting things in less obvious places.

room until they finally decide to give up and sweep it under the rug.

DUST AND HUMANITY• As Hannah Holmes explains in “The Secret Life

of Dust” humans can’t do without dust. Cement is a mixture of rock dust and pebbles. Rock dust is used in toothpaste, talcum powder, cosmetics, and medicine tablets such as aspirin. The pencil lead is compressed graphite dust; chalk is limestone dust; bread is wheat dust; mustard is the dust of mustard seeds; cocoa is the dust of cocoa beans.

• Dust has a huge amount of surface area available: you wouldn’t drop whole coffee beans into hot water; instead you add coffee dust. You don’t put a whole bar of soap into the laundry; you add soap dust. Surface area increases the amount of interaction that can take place. Sometimes that can be detrimental.

GRAIN DUST•When grain is poured into a grain elevator, billions

of grain dust particles fly into the air, rising into the enclosed elevator like a cloud. If the dust cloud is mixed with oxygen it becomes explosively flammable if a spark is provided. Sometimes a static electricity spark or the flipping of a light switch is all it takes to blow the roof off the grain elevator.

• Between 1900 and 1955 there were around 1,000 grain dust explosions not only at grain elevators but also at malt houses and food processing plants across the U.S., killing a total of about 650 people. Similar dust explosions have happened in woodworking shops, coal dryers, fertilizer plants, cotton factories, and other industries that deal with pulverized matter. In 1998 alone there were 18 dust explosions in the U.S.

• One of the biggest happened in Haysville, Kansas on June 8, 1998, when seven workers at the DeBruce Grain elevator died when something triggered an explosion of grain dust so big that houses rattled in Wichita ten miles away. It was one of the largest

grain elevators in the world. The grain burned for weeks.

THE IMPORTANCE OF DUST•Moisture in the atmosphere condenses as it cools.

However, the water must condense upon something that it can cling to. Dust serves that purpose. In air that contains absolutely no dust, droplets would simply bounce off each other and would not condense until the atmosphere reached an incredible 300% humidity. Every single drop of rain and snow that falls contains a piece of dust, so precipitation really does “clean” the air.

• If there’s too much dust in the atmosphere, water droplets are divided between so many particles that none of the drops ever gets big enough to fall to the earth. A super dusty cloud can hold up to twice as much actual water as a normal cloud, but each droplet is half the normal size and no rain falls.

• Huge fires such as those that sometimes burn in the tropics produce gigantic smoke plumes. Studies done by NASA showed that clouds that pass through this smoke will become super-saturated in dust and will subsequently drop far less rain than clouds that skirt the edges of the smoke. A similar study showed that when volcanoes exploded upwind of the island of Taiwan, the rainfall amounts on Taiwan dropped. This is why cloud seeding is such a tricky business. In cloud seeding, either solid particles of carbon dioxide dry ice or a fine mist of silver iodide are spread through clouds. Too much and the cloud dissipates. Just the right amount, and rain falls.

NASA’S DUST COLLECTION•NASA actually keeps a Dust Library. There’s a

collection of about 100,000 specks of space dust

Hey everyone!!Hope all of you are doing well. Another week has come and gone

around our place and I just can't seem to get all the garden in. A little bit here, a little bit there... the only thing that seems to be taking off and doing well is the grass in yard! I think

I can put a big push on over this weekend and get all those plants and seeds tucked away in the ground. Wish us luck! Here's a little progress picture... if so inclined,

Ultimate Grilled Pizza RecipeQuick-rise yeast gets mixed right in with the flour and

salt and needs no proofing. Grilling pizza gives it a smoky flavor not unlike that from a wood-burning oven. If you like, grill onions, peppers and sausages and let guests personalize their own pizzas.

2 cups all-purpose flour1 package quick-rise yeast3/4 teaspoon salt3/4 cup hot water (120 F to 130 F)2 teaspoons olive oil2 tablespoons olive oil8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese12 fresh basil leaves2 small ripe tomatoesSalt and coarsely ground black pepper

1. Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium heat.2. In large bowl, combine flour, yeast and salt. Stir in hot

water and 2 teaspoons oil until blended and dough comes away from side of bowl. Turn onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.

3. Shape dough into two 10-inch rounds or four 6-inch rounds (do not form rims). Cover with greased plastic wrap; let rest 15 minutes.

4. Place dough rounds on hot grill rack over medium heat and grill until underside of dough turns golden and grill marks appear, 2 to 5 minutes. With tongs, turn rounds over.

5. Brush lightly with some remaining oil. Top with mozzarella, then basil and tomato slices. Grill until cheese begins to melt, 3 to 5 minutes longer. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Makes 12 appetizer servings.

TIP: No time to make your own dough? Frozen bread dough from the supermarket or pizza dough purchased from your local pizza parlor is a great stand-in for homemade dough. Follow the thawing directions on the package if using frozen dough.

on file at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Scientists collect space dust from places such as trapped in the Antarctic ice, in the mud at the bottom of the ocean, collected by weather balloons, or gathered by spacecraft in orbit. Space dust generally clings to a magnet whereas earth dust does not, making it easy to separate and identify.

PLANT STONES• If you’re a plant and you want to prevent caterpillars

and other vegetarian insects from eating you, what do you do to protect yourself? Well, if you’re like most plants, you make sure there’s a hard gritty piece of stone inside each and every cell that might be eaten, making it an unpleasant meal for bugs. These microscopic stones are called phytoliths. Each of the cells in the plant’s leaves, fruit skins, or seed husks contain a tiny mineral rock, making it scratchy. This is what makes bran cereal so rough. When the plants die and deteriorate, their phytoliths are released into the air as dust.

IT’S A FACT• 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.

• “Bonfire” comes from “bonefire,” a fire built to cremate a dead body.

• A grain of dust floating in a sunbeam is 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 customs forms.

• Dust storms in Arizona cause about 40 traffic accidents in a typical 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.

Noteworthy InventionsQUIZ: VACUUM INVENTORS

• In 1907 Murray Spangler was trying to make a living as an inventor. To make ends meet, he worked nights as a janitor in a department store in Canton, Ohio. Spangler’s asthma acted up every

time he cleaned the store’s rugs with a broom because he was allergic to the dust. He had seen suction sweepers but they were awkward and often ineffective. He knew there had to be a better way.

• Using a tin soap box, an electric fan, a rotating brush, a pillow case, and a broom handle, he put together a contraption. He showed it to his cousin, Susan. She used it in her home and raved about it to her husband, who everyone called Boss.

• Boss owned a leather goods manufacturing shop but he was so interested in the invention that he bought Spangler’s patent, hired him as a partner, and soon had six employees making suction sweepers in the corner of his shop.

• Boss placed an ad in the “Saturday Evening Post” giving ten days free use of a Suction Sweeper to anyone who wrote with a request. Rather

• On June 15, 1215, following a revolt by the English nobility, King John puts his royal seal on the Magna Carta, or “Great Char-ter.” The document guaranteed that the king would respect feu-dal rights and privileges, uphold the freedom of the church and maintain the nation’s laws.

• On June 16, 1738, patriot printer, publisher and postmis-tress, Mary Katharine Goddard, is born. She would later publish the first version of the Declara-tion of Independence to include all of the Congressional signa-tures. The document appeared “printed by Mary Katherine Goddard.”

• On June 18, 1812, the War of 1812 against Great Britain begins. The American war declaration had been called in response to the British economic sanctions against the U.S. and the impressment of American seaman into the British Royal Navy.

• On June 19, 1905, in Pittsburgh, some 450 people attend the opening of the world’s first nickelodeon. The storefront theater boast-ed 96 seats and charged each patron 5 cents to view a 15-minute motion picture show.

• On June 20, 1975, direc-tor Steven Spielberg’s thriller “Jaws” debuts in U.S. theaters. Jaws starred Roy Scheider as police chief Martin Brody and Richard Dreyfuss as a marine biolo-

gist. The film’s mechanical shark was named Bruce.• On June 21, 1982, John W. Hinckley, Jr., who

on March 30, 1981, shot President Ronald Reagan outside a Washington, D.C., hotel, is found not guilty of attempted murder by reason of insanity.

• On June 17, 1994, after a dramatic “low-speed chase” on I-405 witnessed by mil-lions on live television, for-mer football star and actor O.J. Simpson surrenders to Los Angeles police. He was

charged in the double-murder of his ex-wife and her friend.

• It was Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanal-ysis, who made the follow-ing sage observation: “The

first human who hurled an insult instead of a stone was the founder of civilization.”

• Many people make provisions in their wills for their pets; it’s the compassionate thing to do. Singer Dusty Springfield went a bit further than most, though; she spec-ified that her cat was to be fed only imported baby food.

• For a nation based on a foundation of democracy, the U.S. certainly has a lot of states (that were originally colonies, of course) named for British royalty. The state of Virginia, for instance, was named for Queen Elizabeth I, known as the “Virgin Queen”; and Georgia was named in honor of King George II. King Charles II got both North and South Carolina, while the Duke of York and Albany -- later King James II -- was honored when the state of New York was named. Even France got in on the action: When explorer Robert de la Salle claimed a large chunk of territory for France in 1682, he named it Louisiana, after King Louis XIV.

• Sissy Spacek was originally considered for the role of Princess Leia in the iconic 1977 film “Star Wars,” but she turned it down, paving the way for Carrie Fisher to play Luke Skywalker’s twin. Interestingly, the year before, Car-rie Fisher had been offered the title role in the horror flick

by Samantha Weaver

“Carrie”; when she declined, Sissy Spacek stepped in.• If you’re planning a trip to California this summer,

you might want to keep in mind that in that state, it’s ille-gal for a woman to drive while wearing a housecoat.

than simply mailing them a sweeper, he sent the customers to local stores 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 soon became a standard household item.

• The vacuum company, named after Boss’s last name, is one of the top vacuum manufacturers in the world today. What company is it?

(Answer on page 11)FACT

• The average carpet will harbor anywhere between three tablespoons and three cups of dust and dirt per square yard.

IT’S A FACT• In the early days of vacuum cleaners, Hoover

salesmen were required to make 15 sales calls each week. In 1922, there were 748 salesmen making a total of 549,780 sales calls that year. 31% of people pitched bought the product.

CLEANING UP• Melville and Anna Bissell owned a crockery and

china shop in Grand Rapids, Michigan in the late 1800s. Melville had allergies and Anna did her best to keep their store dust-free. But there was a lot of sawdust in the shop and it clung to the carpets on the floor. In frustration, Anna asked Melville if he couldn’t come up with an invention to keep their carpets cleaner.

• In 1876, Melville Bissell patented the Bissell Carpet Sweeper. Although there were already carpet sweepers on the market, Bissell’s model was light and easy to use, it worked on uneven floors, and

Puzzle Answers

it picked up dirt without creating a cloud of dust. Bissell Carpet Sweepers proved to be so popular that by 1883 Melville and Anna had given up their crockery shop and gone into the carpet sweeper business full time.

• When Melville died in 1889, Anna took over the business until her death in 1934 at the age of 87. Anna Bissell was one of America’s first female CEOs. The Bissell Company is still run by family members. Their carpet sweepers are most commonly found in places like restaurants where crumbs regularly need to be swept without disturbing diners.

IT’S A FACT• One kind of early day vacuum cleaner was powered

by bellows that were connected to a rocking chair. The man would read the evening newspaper, smoking his pipe and rocking, while the wife did the vacuuming.

AIR POLLUTION: SMOG• Long ago people in Britain used wood as fuel.

When the supply of wood ran short, they began burning coal. Some coal burns fairly cleanly, but the cheapest coal does not. It smokes a lot and loads the air with sulfur. 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 moved over London. A layer of cold air was trapped by a layer of warm air which acted like a lid.

Sulfurous coal soot was trapped in the air around the city. The moisture in the air condensed around the smoke particles, forming a thick fog. Visibility dropped to a few feet. The smog stung the eyes and caused skin irritation. Cattle began dropping dead of asphyxiation. People with respiratory illnesses or cardiovascular problems became seriously sick. Those suffering from bronchitis or pneumonia who might have recovered under normal conditions died instead. By the time the inversion lifted on December 9, about 4,000 people had died from breathing the highly acidic polluted fog.

• As a result of the “Black Fog,” Parliament enacted the Clean Air Act in 1956, reducing the coal-burning allowed in the city.

LOS ANGELES LANDSLIDE• In L.A. in 1994 earthquakes caused landslides in

the area. The landslides created clouds of dust that engulfed entire towns. A few days later, people began showing up at hospitals complaining of fever, coughing, and fatigue. Over 200 people got sick. The Centers for Disease Control investigated. Inverntor Quiz Answer: Hoover.

Mapping the location of the victims showed that they had all been in the path of the dust clouds. They had inhaled fungus spores in immense numbers, causing them to become ill.
