EDIsON's FIRST INVENTION
It Caused Him to Give Up Job and
Seek Other Fields.

A statement that has been going the
rounds of the press of late relative to
the great number of inventions patented
by Thomas A. Edison makes no mention
of his first labor-saving device, which,
though it cost him dearly was never
sent to the patent Office or placed upon
the market. though it did the work for
which it was designed perfectly.
This invention, forgotten by all save a
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 Western
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 attending to
business. arranged for him to call up
fetal call and sign, it being argued that
this would keep him awake. 1t did
keep Edison awake for a few weeks.
Then he set about utilizing 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 a clock and a circuit
per time would give New York the look
editor singles. For weeks it was the
marvel of Mr.. E,disons friends that he
got along with so little sleep Then the
denouement came in the form of a call
for Boston from New Yol X with a very
important message. Though. Boston had
signaled but a few moments before. it
was found impossible to raise" that
city when it was necessary to send the
message. Nearly an hour later the
New York operator was pounding away,
when the circuit was opened and the
5ounder gave off ''Bn. Ed. O. K" I'M
medately the call for Boston was re-
newed, but no answer came for an hour,
when the magic signal was again re-
peated. All night long the wire was
watched, and when morning came the
ma nager at Boston was asked to ex-
plain the mystery.
The manager. canny Scot, knew a
thing or two, or at least he thought he
did. and without saying a word to any
body, examined the clock and Edison's
locker. finding there the tell-tale wires
and mechanism. That night, when the
future Wizard" showed up for work.
he found that the manager had decided
20 give him ''30',-which in telegrapher's
lalk spells discharged.
Edison knew well enough what he
was discharged for. and so left the next
lay for New York and the career which
has since made his name a household

1t is not very strange that L. Z.
Myers should have succeeded in his
business of a railroad builder and cleo
trical engineer He has been in the
business all his life. He worked in
1886 with the original Edison company,
and was with the Spra que company in
1889, which was the first company to en-
gage in the manufacture of street rail-
way electric motors. In 1891 he became
manager. of the Chicago office of the
Detroit Electrical works, which manu-
featured the Rae system OF street rail-
way motors. In 1888 he engaged in
business for himself, his company being
known as the L. e. Myers Company OF
Chicago. Since then he has built many
street and suburban railroads.
In the past ten years, these are some
of .he roads which Mr. Myers COM
pany has built: the largest portion OF
the Calumet street railway. Chicago,
Green Bay, Wis, railway. Ft. Howard
Wis. railway; FIT. Howard and Green
Fay Interurban; Green Bay & De
Peere Interurban; Oshkosh City rail-
way several lines in Kansas City, Mo-,
and Kansas City, Kas.: Birmingham.
Ohio. steam and electric road; Peoria
& Pekin terminal railroad, steam and
electric combined, Springfield. Mass
and Hartford, Conn.,, Interurban; can
ton & Akron Interurban; Canton city
railway: Massillon City railway: Canton
& Masillon Interurban; Masillon &
Navsrre City railway; Canton & New
Phiia delp{ia Interurban; Sycamore x
DeKalb Illinois Interurban.
This is a good deal for one company
to accomplish in ten years, and it can
easily be understood why L. E. Myers
ranks al the front of the business
when # comes to street railway build
inc.
Mr. Myers holds a good many official
positions besides that of vice president
of the Topeka City Railway. He is
general manager of the Peoria & Pc
kin Terminal railway, president of the
Cicero Light. Heat & Power company
Chica go; treasurer and general mana
ger of the l.. E. Myers company, and
general manager of the Chicago Elec>
trio Traction company.
Mr.. Myers was born at Pittsburs
Pa. in 1868. He was educated at the
public schools and preparatory schools
there. and finished his education at TIE
Western University of PennsylN ania.
Allegheny, right across the river from
PittsbuI-.
Mr.. Myers insists that to the advice
and cooperation of Messrs. Wilson and
Sunny is due what progress has al
ready been made in the street railway
situation in Topeka, and with the same
forces and local directors Will bring
into completion the rather extensive
Improvements now planned and work.

Record of Vice President Myers
of City Hallway.
Has Built Eighteen City. and
Suburban Railroads.
NAY MOVE TO TOPEKA.
Is the Man at the Helm of New
Company.
Business Interests May Bring
Him Here Permanently.

L. E. Myers. the man at the helm of
the new Topeka City railway, may come
to Topeka to live. He has been gradu-
ally letting go of various enterprises in
which he has been interested, and has
now concentrated most of his attention
on Topeka. If the big deal for the pur-
chase of the Edison plant goes through
the interests of Mr.. Myers and his as
sociates in Topeka will be so large that
it will be almost essential that Mr. Ny
ers stay here with the property.
4 don't know yet what L will do"
said Mr.. Myers this morning. 4 may
make this my headquarters. I expect
to spend at least half my time here for
a good many months to come. I will not
move here for the present. but 1 can't
say what will do in the future"
Little by little. Mr. Myers has been
getting a foothold in Topeka, and To-
peka has been getting a grip on Mr..
Myers. There is reason to beliere that
the attraction is mutual Myers likes
Topeka because he sees an opportunity
to develop a first-class street railway
system. with a rich outlying country
constantly growing more valuable as a
field for future suburban electric lines.
Topeka likes Myers because he is a man
of energy. man who has demonstrated
that he can make things go. He is the
