The more things change, the more they stay the same.
      From an article on an historic building in New York:

<The Morse Building seemed to serve as an incubator for a variety of
enterprises. The New York Canoe Club was a tenant, and it was at its
headquarters there, The New York Times reported in 1881, that an
unnamed inventor showed off a sort of super canoe, the 17-foot-long
Devastation.It weighed only four and a half pounds empty, but was
provisioned with dishes, hard-rubber goblets, two saucepans, an ice
cream freezer, electric lamps, an eggbeater and a sewing machine. The
Times referred to a pending South Atlantic cruise, with a cargo of
“800 copies of Whateley’s Elements of Logic, to be distributed gratis
among the Zulus,” but it is not clear if that ever occurred.>

I located a copy of Whateley's Elements of Logic on Amazon.com, but,
does anyone know where to find hard-rubber goblets?
