AN EDISON INVENTION

The manager of the electrical exposi-
iion in Philadelphia asked Mr.. Edison
TO send on photographic cylinder set
ting forth some of his latest IDEAS of
electrical interest. Mr.. Edison com
plied in his own way. The message was
as follows:
My Dear Marks-You ask me to
send YOU photographic cylinder for
your lecture this evening and to say I;
few words To the audience. | do no,
think the audience would take any in
terest in dry scientific subjects. but
perhaps they might be interested in a
little story that a man sent nlr on a
phonographic cylinder the other day
from San Francisco. In the year 1873
a man from Massachusetts came to
California with q chronic liver com
plant. He searched all over the coast
tor mineral spring to cure the dis
ease. and finally found down in the San
Joaquin valley a spring. the waters of
which almost instantly cured him. He
thereupon started q sanitarium. and
people all over the world came and
were quickly cured. Last year this man
died and so powerful had been the ac-
ton of the waters that they had to
take his liver out and kill it with a
club. Yours truly, Edison"
