Edison,s Methods.

Thomas A Edison 'sinyeHtive genius Inans
ifested itself when he was stillin his teens.
His earliest experiments were conducted in
the field of electricity, and his first signifi-
cant invention brought disaster upon the
young farmer lad who constructed 1t.
Edison rugged up a telegraph line in the
garrett OF the farmhouse in Milan, Ohio,
where he as born, and practiced until he
had attained considerable proficiency as an
operator. He then secured a position as a
night operator at little way 81 tation near
by. There was practically nothing to be
done during the night, as no trains ever
stopped at the little siding, but it was nec-
essary 70 keep an operator on duty there ID
case OF emergency.
Edison soon chafed under this inactivity.
Night after night he watched through the
weary hours until daylight without having
sent or received q single message, except
the perfunctory signal-the letter ''B"-
which all Operators are requiredtO sendover
the wire every half-hour as proof that
they were on duty and at their posts
Finally the future wizard began some
electrical experiments TO while away the
time. Within a few days he had arranged
8 switchboard contrivance on the clock
tommatic attachment that telegraphed he
signal .B'' and the number Of the station
over the railway wire.
After that life was too easy for the young
operator He would go on duty early in the
evening, aud, after having several conversa-
tions over the wire with the train dispatcher,
would turn on the switch and 90 to
sleep on a cot in the rear of the office.
Throughout the night the clock would report
the station ION duty regularly every hals
hour.
This device worked like charm. No one
knows how long it might have remained in
use We're IL not for the fact that in an evil
moment the young inventor took another
operate into his confindence- The latter at
temptedto construct an automatic machine
and failed II succeeded, however, in yan-
Cling matters so badly that an aninvestigation
was set on foot, which resulted in retiring

years. Chicago Times Herald
