EDIsoN,s TRIUMPH.
An Incident In the Great Inventor.
start In Life.

Dr. Norvin Green, for many years
president of the Western Union Tele-
graph company. once said that but
for the dullness of himself and his as
sistants Thomas A. Edison might new
err have obtained the confidence and
support Of the great corporation. Ed
ison had been trying for months to in
duee the officials to take up some of
his inventions until they began to re-
gard him as Il bore.
lie went to the main Office one day
and was greeted by DR.. Norvin Green
and the other officials with sneering
smiles. Dr. Green said: Mr.. Edison.
We are unable TO get into communion
ton with Albany. and n large amount
of important business is in peril. |
suppose that since you know more
about telegraphy than all of the rest
of us combined you can locate the DIFF.

Whether Edison noticed the sneering
tone or not. be quietly answered, 81
can locate ii inside of two or three
hours, sir
DR.. Green and the others laughed out
right. one of them saying. Edison. you
have now fully demonstrated that you
are crank"
Edison never smiled or addressed a
word to the speaker but looked at DR..
Green and said, "If | locate this diff
Guilty in two or three hours. will you
take up my inventions and give them
honest consideration
Yes, | WILL" said DIR. Green, land |
will do it if you succeed in two days"
1t was very simple thing, and yet
Edison was the only one who had the
comprehensive mind to think of It in
stantly. He did not tell them for many
years afterward how he accomplished
the feat, but he did it inside of one
hour.
Edison went TO the main offices,
where he was known as an expert OPP
orator, and called up Pittsbure He
asked for the best operator there. nam
Ing him, and then told the Pittsburg
man TO call up the best man at Albany
and direct him to telegraph down the
line toward New York as far as he
could and report back TO Edison as soon
as possible. Inside OF an hour Edison
had this telegram;
Il can telegraph all right down to
within two miles of Pouehkcepsie, and
there is trouble with the wire there"
Edison went back to the Office of the
president aud gravely announced that
il train should be sent to Poughkeep-
sic with materials for the work they
would find a break in the line just two
miles on the other side of Poughkeep-
sic and could repair it that afternoon.
They begged him to tell how he had
found il out. and he replied:
by knowing more about telegraph
ing than all df you put tosc Tier, as Dr..
Green has said"
They located the break, repaired it,,
and Dr. Green took IN Edison's invep-
tions. and that was Elison's great start

The ManteIpiece Bottle Experiment.
You find yourself ON a picnic perhaps

Hardly anybody knows what to do.
The solution of the difficulty is, how
ever, it seems, perfectly simple: place
the Bottle, cork downward, upon the
edge of an ordinary mantelpiece,
steadying Il, of course, with the hand.
Then with a slight impulse turn it so
that it falls upon the ground on its
base. Pick it up, and you will find that
the cork has started. 1t is sometimes
necessary to repeat the operation be-
fore the cork can be withdrawn with
the fingers. A first experiment with a

advisable. A fall direct from that
height will have no desirable result"
