AMERICAN iNVe NTIONS.
The Supremacy OF Yankee Genius Recos
nized All over the World.


nized ALI over the World.
Simultaneously with the news of
Edison's enthusiastic reception at Paris
came an assurance, said to be from a
member of the committee of awards,
that American exhibitors would re-
ceive an amount of recognition from
the judges far greater, in proportion
to the extent of our display. than
would be granted to those of any other
country. The news is pleasing, but
not surprising. We feel no hesitation
in declaring that the display of Ameri-
can inventions outranlzs that of any
other nation, if it does not surpass the
combined displays of the civilized
world beside. Our National pre-emi-
hence in this respect is undisputed and
indisputable. Long ago it was admit
ted. sometimes admiringly and some
times grudingly, by our chief indus
trial competitor, England. An extern
sive list could be made of time and
labor-saving machines that owe their
existence to American ingenuity and
that now find thoir way all
over the globe. Doubtless this SUI
periority is most apparent in respect
to machinery, but it includes an almost
countless number of improvements in
methods of manufacture, in the prac-
tical details Of commerce and travel,
in printing, in domestic economy, in
ministering to the comfort and con-
venience of daily life. It will repay
some study if we inquire for the
ultimate causes of this New-World
supremacy. Some of these causes are
doubtless hidden, but others are evil
dent to the careful searcher. First, in
vention is twin brother to discovery,
and discovery is the cduSd sine qua non
of our National existence. Just now.
as we approach the Columbus quadra-
centennial, the fact becomes exceed
ingly impressive. During all these
nearly-completed four centuries, this
has been land of discovery. Ex-
petitions by land and sea. carried on
for purposes of extending mans knowl-
edge of the New World. have never for
one decade been omitted. Consequent
ly. eagerness to discover. hungry
curiosity. restless discomfort with the
unknown have been inbred among
the people on this continent during
dozen generations. Coupled
with the desire of discovery has
been the craving for power over nat
ure. Here nature was always to be
subdued Time was never long enough,
hands were never numerous enough.
So there was always the pressing need
to multiply the power of the hands and
to diminish the demands upon time.
Most of ALL our New World has hon
ored inventors. therefore it has been
honored by inventions. A signal in
stance of this is afforded in the history
Of electrical art and science. The three
greatest names to be enumerated here
are Franklin. Morse and Edison, the
first Americans to be mentioned next
after Washington in our list of immor-
tails. The second was made a univer-
sity professor, was showered with civic
and academic honors. his lap was filled
with wealth, and a statue was erected
to his memory. The third has gone
forth. loaded with fame achieved
among us, and is making triumphal
tour of Europe. Boston Advertiser.
