Edison Prefers to- BE DEAF

The Woman's Home Companion con-
tains an article descriptive of "a Visit
to the Home Of Thomas A. Edison
The writer brings out a new fact with
regard to the great electrician. He
says: after you have talked to Edi-
son for time you notice that he is
partially deaf, that he has a trick of
now and then putting his hand to his
ear. You wonder why this man of all
men should not have turned his in
ventive mind to producing some appli-
ance that would restore his hearing.
Yet he looks upon his partial deafness
in cheerful light. He almost consid-
ers 1t blessing. Eminent specialists
have offered to cure him, but he pre-
fers to remain as he is, arguing
shrewdly that If he could hear the
myriad noises that are now muffied he
might find it more difficult to concen-
trate his mind on his work.
