BEST DRIVERS ON EARTH.

Is there a better driver in the world
than the man who drives the fire -
gine? If there is he is yet to be dis
covered.
Here was an engine coming along a
cross street, to turn up an intersecting
avenue. Under the edge Of the rounded
of. corner that the machine was to turn
there was a sewer opening, with the
street pavement slopinS down smoothly
toward it all around from the higher
level of the street
IF the driver coming as he was at a
dead gaIIop, should make a broad turn
around this corner out where the street
was level the engine would swing more
or less-nothing could prevent that-ard
check the horses speed and there would

two outside wheels on the higher level

What He Has Done.

"AT things come to him who
hustles while he waits" So Mr.
Edison once wrote across L photo
graph of himself. sent 10 the
science library of Columbia Universi-
ty, and he himself has always acted
exactly on that principle. All the
world knows how he has had to
wait; not once in those long years
did he cease his hustling.
What are his patents today? In
telegraphy only there is the auto
matte repeater, the machines for
duplex, quadruplex, and sextuplex
transmission; the printing telegraph.
and the carbon telegraph transmit
ter. In broader fields of practical
science he is to be thanked for the
microtasimeter for the detection of
slight changes in temperature; the
megaphone, the aerOph0ne, the kline
toscope, and the storage battery, to
say nothing of the micTophone trans
mitter for the telephone, which
brought that instrument out of the
class of astonishing toys to make
It of worldwide Importance and
usefulness, and of the literally in
valuable incandescent system.
This would be a notable list for
any man to have built up in less than
forty years. yet it makes no ac
count OF scores of lesser accomplish
mcnts characteristic of the Edison
ian practical faTsightedness and con-
stant, consistent labor Some one
asked him only the other day If he
had ever worked on the problem of
wireless telegraphy.

A Cheap Watch and Fake Cigars.

Mr.. Edison is the best of friends
and the most entertaining of talk
ers, but he is hard to reach for the
simple reason that he places so
(properly) high a va:ue on his time
To him. time is too valuable to
waste even by taking account of it.
1t means the chance to get things
done; how long it takes to do this
is a detail of no Importance to him.
In his safe there is carefully locked

ed by some great European scientific
society, but it is never used. Mr..
