Life-cost of Accidents.

American Medicine: 1t is strange
how negligent we are as profession,
and especially as a nation. of the loss
of life and the cost of accidents. 1t is
calculated that more disability is
caused by them than by consumption,
pneumonia and cardiac diseases COM
bined. Compare this fact with the
space taken up in medical and other
literature by the consideration of ac-
oidents. Has there been a single paper
read in the last two national medical
conventions on accidents? And yet is
1t not certain that careful attention to
the prevention of accidents would re-
suit In as much saving of life and ex-
pense TO the community as the same
amc.Et given TO the three diseases
named? Statisticians reckon that 49,
100000 accidents occur in the United
States each year, killing 10000 persons.
This number, says DR.. D. J. Mcmahon
of New York city, is greater than that
of all the casualties of the seventeen
years Nanoleonic wars. In all $4,000
working people are annually disabled
FOR life in our country, $4,000 for more
than three months and 100000 incapa-
oitated for less than three months.

al the beginning of the nineteenth cen

of the century 1t was spoken by Very near

ably the l1nglish-speak race cannot
possibly quntuple Itself again or even
quadruple itself in the twentieth century.
but 1t will pretty certainly double and 1t
may very nkely treble Itself within the
next hundred years. Before the year 1000
the number OF those who use English as
their natural speech will be between two
hundred and fifty millions and Ave hun

EDlsoN's FIRST INVENTION.
IL Caused Him to Give Up Job ane
Saek Ntber E;eIde

Seek Other Fields.
Philadelphia Ledger: A statement
that has been going the rounds of the
press of late relative to the great num-
Der of inventions patented by Thomas
A. Edison makes no mention of his
first labor-saving device, which
though 1T cost him dearly, was never
sent to the patent office or placed up
on the market, though 1T did the work
for which it was designed perfectly.
This invention, forgotten by all save
few old telegraph operators and the
wizard himself, was thought out in the
days when Mr. Edison earned his daily
bread operating the Boston New York
night wire of what is now the West
ern Union Telegraph company. The
pay was not particularly large, but the
work was light, SO light that New York
IN order to make sure that the man
on the Hub end of the wire was at
tending to business, arranged for him
to call UP every hour after midnight,
give his official call and sign, 1t being
argued that this would keep him
awake. 1t did keep Edison awake for
few weeks. Then he set about utiliz-
Ing his spare time on device which
would beat the smart ones" who ruled
The New York office.
The result was all that could be ex-
pected from Mr.. Edison's successes In
later life. 1t was an arrangement of
battery with q clock and circuit
breaking instrument which at the prop
er time would give New York the
!ooked-for signals. For weeks 1t was
the marvel Of Mr.. Edison's friends that
he got along with 30 little sleep. Then
the denouement came In the form OF
call for Boston from New York With
very important message. Though Bos-
ton had sienaled but few moments
before. 1t was found impossible to
raise" that CITY whom It was necessary
to send the message. Nearly an hour
later the New York operator was
pounding away, whom the circuit was
opened and the soundsr gave off "Bn.
E. o K" Immediately the call for
Boston was renewed, hut no answer
came fro an hour, when the magic sig
nal was again repeated. All night long
the wire was watched, and when morn
Ing came the manager at Boston was
asked to explain the mystery.
The manager, q canny Scot, knew
thing or TIVE, 6r at least he thought lie
dld, ana without saying q word to any
body, examined the clock and Edison's
locker, finding there the tell-tals wires
ana mechanism. That night, when the
future Wizard" showed up for work,
he found that the manager had decided
to give him "So"-vhich in the tele-
grapher's talk spells discharge.
Edison knew well enough what ne
was discharged for, and 80 left the
noxt day for New York and tho career
which has since made his name
household word the world over.
