morning in bright and pleasant room.
It was rather an odd room in its shape. be-
ing perfectly circular They were all bust
ly engaged in talking and laughing at Mr..
Edgeworth's amusing anecdotes, when
one of the ladies suddenly noticed that
she was now at quite distance from the
open fireplace, although she had been
sitting near it when the conversation
began.
All the other persons had also changed
their positions in regard to it, some who
had been far off being now quite near,
and the reverse. She questioned MIR
Edgeworth eagerly, and he explained
that this room was one of his Inventions
The fireplace was stationary, but the
floor Of the room moved upon pivots so
slowly it is true, that the motion was
quite unnoticeabie, but moving all the
while and bringing each part of the room
in turn near the fire.
You see" he said, "that am giving
each of my guests a fair and equal share
Of the heat"
Richard Edgeworth was very fond of
experiments of all kinds Even when he
was a boy, only years old, he took the
greatest delight in learning about ma
chinery His eager tongue, and eyes
that asked just as many questions as his
tongue, were always on the lookout for
knowledge of this sort.
