Born of humble parents in a Ser
Wan village about 35 years ago, Tesla
has climbed the ladder of fame solely
through hard work and ability. His
father was a clergyman of the Greek
church. His mother was a woman
with distinct gift for invention. 1t
was from her that Nickola believes he
received his inventive turn. While a
boy he attended the polytechnic school
at Gratz. where he acquired his first
fascination for mathematics and the
study Of electricity. While still quite
young he obtained a position as as
sistant In the government telegraph
engineering department at Buda- Pesth.
Later he went to Paris. where his
hard work and studies continued.
Later he crossed the Atlantic and OBJ
tanned employment in one of Thomas
A. Edison's laboratories. His assid-
uousness quickly attr. cted the atten-
tion OF Edison, and he received much
valuable aid. Later his studies were
directed along different lines from
those Of Edison and the two separated.
