Thomas Alva Edison was born at Milan, Erie Co., Ohio, F e b. n, 1S47. His ancestry can be easily traced back 200 years, when his great-grandfather was a prosperous miller in Holland, from which coun t ry he came to America in 1730. T he family have always been noted for their longevity; his great- T H E M. A. C. R E C O R D. J A N U A RY 9, 1900. grandfather living 102 years, his grandfather 103 years, and his father nearly 90 years. His mother, Mrs. Nancy Elliot Edison, came of highly respected Scotch and English stock and was one of the best educated, most refined, and highly cultured women of her time. She lived to see her son become, without doubt, the greatest inventor the world has ever known. two months in his At the age of seven, young Edison removed with his parents to Port H u r o n, Mich., where the greater part of his childhood days were spent. He received nearly all of his education at home, from his mother, w ho took great pains to im plant and nourish in him a desire for reading and original research. It is said that he never went to school life. more than At the age of ten he had read the " Penny Encyclopedia," Hume's " History of England," " History of the Reformation," Gibbons' " R o m e ," Sear's " History of the W o r l d ," be sides several works on chemistry and other scientific books. He read with the utmost fidelity, never skip ping a word or a formula. It was this wonderful habit of concentra tion and tenacity of purpose which led him to success in so many of his future undertakings. His t i i i ic ill i v e t l ' G n, At the age of 12 he began life as a train boy on the Grand T r u nk railway between Port Huron and Detroit. At first his stock and busi ness were about the same as those of the ordinary train boy, but it was not long before his business increased until he employed four assistants. While thus employed he hit upon the plan of telegraphing the head-lines of the war extras ahead and thus did a rousing business at every station at which the train stopped. While in this business he necessarily spent CGiiSidei'aljie rtucic he joined the library association and attempted the herculean task of read ing every volume in that extensive collection. He read a line of books 15 feet in length, including N e w ''Principia," Ure's "Scientific ton's " A n a t o my Dictionaries," Benton's of Melancholy," etc., but finally gave up the job and selected more congenial material. first in a freight car which was used as a smoking car on his train. H e re he edited and printed a paper called " T he Grand T r u nk Herald," which contained all the railway gossip of the time and enjoyed the novel dis tinction of being the only news paper printed on a train. satisfied, however, with printing alone, he procured a sup fitted up a ply of chemicals and small laboratory in his office. X)ne day a bottle containing phosphorus from which the water had evapo rated was knocked its place and immediately a conflagration en sued which ended with young Edi son's being pitched from train by the conductor, followed a mo ment later by his entire printing establishment and laboratory. After this he fitted up a laboratory in the basement of his father's house at P o rt Huron. H e re he set up his first telegraph line, the electricity for which was furnished by briskly rub bing two large black cats. laboratory was from Not the Shortly after this Edison learned the art of telegraphy and secured his first position at P o rt Huron at a salary of $25 per month. Here he remained only about six months, when he accepted a position at Strat ford, Canada. It was during his stay there that he made his first real the line and write the night-watchman invention. He was night operator and was obliged to report " s i x" every half-hour to the circuit mana ger. He rigged up a wheel which, when turned, would make a connec tion with the word " s i x" and sign his office call. This turned every half-hour while Edison slept. F or several years after this Edison shifted about, never keeping one position long on account of his love for experimenting, which sometimes seriously interfered with the work ing of the system. His position with the " G o ld Mining Telegraph Co.," of N ew Y o r k, was one of some responsibility and from which he rapidly rose to fame. It In 1873 he married Miss M a ry is Stillwell of Newark, N. J. said that the medallion on the new silver dollar is almost an exact like ness of Mrs. Edison. His children, a boy and a girl, he named " D o t" and " D a s h ," after the letters of the Morse alphabet. In N e w a rk curiosity seekers and the ever increasing flow of visitors, combined with other considerations, finally caused him to dispose of his that place extensive machinery at and seek a more retired in spot which to pursue his investigations. He accordingly removed to Menlo P a r k, about 24 miles from N ew Y o r k, where he fitted up the most extensive laboratory of its kind in the world. M r. Reid in his " M e morial V o l u m e" pronounces it one of the amplest the finest array of assisting machinery to be found in connection with sci entific research. laboratories and T he shops, which are said to con tain nearly $L,ooo,ooo worth of ma chinery, have been enlarged recently by the addition of a building 135 the best ma feet long, filjed with It is here that chinery obtainable. in the " W i z a r d" spends his time delving into the mysteries of elec trical science. Probably the best known and most wonderful of his inventions, excepting possibly the electric light, is the phonograph. No invention in the world's history has engen dered more curiosity than the pho nograph, and yet of all of Edison's inventions it may be considered as one of It was first completed in 1873 and the way it was discovered can best be told in Edison's own words. the most simple. "I was singing into the mouth piece of a telephone when the vibra the wire sent the fine steel tions of finger. T h at set me point into my to thinking. If- I could record the actions of the point and then send it over the same surface again, I saw no reason why the thing would not the experiment talk. first tried I on a strip of telegraph paper and found that the point made an alpha bet. 'Halloo' I shouted t he word into the mouthpiece, ran the paper back under the steel point and heard I deter a faint 'Halloo' in return. that to make a machine mined would work accurately, and gave my telling them what I had discovered.

T he Edison Phonograph works, located at Orange, N. J ., is another indication of the prominence of the industry. T he factory phonograph consists of four large buildings, each 350 feet long. T he main building or machine shop, is a wonder of completeness and exactness.

T he method of multiplication of records is also a guarded secret, but it is said to be exceedingly simple. Notwithstanding the fact that the phonograph has been announced as perfected several limes, it is continu ally being improved and is becom ing more and more a practical ma chine. Its uses in practical life are already innumerable, while its con stant reduction it more and more into use as a pleasing entertainer. in price brings that As Mr. Edison once said: " P i ty isn't it, that the phonograph was not invented a few thousand years ago, because if it had, down through the corridors of time might have rever the great berated the echoes of events of the past, and we of today could have taken our phonograph out on the back stoop in the long to summer evenings and the roar of the lions in Daniel's den, the sound of Nero's fiddle and the clatter of the R o m an E m p i re as it fell." listened T he College Bell.

F or while the College belle is a beautiful subject, it is also a dangerous subject. T h e re are at least twenty College belles in this room, and if I describe the College belle as a fair-haired, blue-eyed, modern Venus, at least half of the twenty instantly become my mortal enemies. the other hand, I choose to think of her as with flashing black eyes and raven tresses, it would require more per suasive ability than 1 possess to place me right with the fair-haired mem bers. So while I am naturally in clined toward the College belle, dis cretion bids me wander-far from her and her bewitching smile and select that other College bell, the one that rings for us all; the one that drags us from our cot the morning, drags us to classes, drags us to A g. labor, and two hours later awakes us from a peaceful nap in our nest under the trees along the R ed Cedar. the moon, not the stars, regulate our time; we are the sun, not Not in J A N U A RY 9, 1900.
