kept them closed till he was ready to
overwhelm the criticisms by a practical
demonstration.
Here is a thumb nail description of the
house as II will come from the mold:
Sizes by 80 feet ground plan.
Rooms-Big living room and kitchen on
first floor, two big bedrooms, wide hall
way. closets and bath upstairs, front and
back porch.
Cost-About 81 200
Material-Light gray REINFORCED con-
crete.
Time TO mold-l4 days
Observation-Disclosures and ornamental
work along porch. carved stone pillars in
Railways, window seats and paneled
doors. with NEUROLOGICAL figuring, gabled
roofs.
Special advantages-Fireproo and YER
min proof; no repairs.
The people 1t will benefit particularly
The poor who now often live in wretched
quarters.
Inventor-Thomas A. Edison.
The Edison house. IL It accomplishes
half what it's creator expects, will revolu-
tionize house building.
One big important thing he had In mind
was TO make 1t possible for the people of
the sluDgs to live in houses that would
be clean, have plenty OF light and afr, and
which could be had at a moderate cost.
The inventor will not build houses him
self. He has more important work to do.
He has shown the world the way to do II,
and will leave II at that.
OBJECTIONS OVERCOME.
Several great objections which arose
two years ago had to be overcome by Ed
ison in HIS later plans.
One-a practical builders objection
was that the cement could not be forced
through an intricate set OF molds and
be OF the same consistency and strength
throughout. Also that the surface would
not be smooth.
But Edison has produced a cement Of
a consistency almost like water, which
holds the stone and aggregates equally
throughout. It will also secure a sur
face so smooth that It can be painted or
frescoed or tinted.
Another objection was that It would be
impossible TO build molds which would
make inner rooms and closets. This, too.
has been overcome.
still another-this time from architects

second visit to, America. He arrived at
Darien. I quote:
THE SPIRIT OF HOSPITALITY.
THE next morning while we were
standing on the river bank we were join
ed by Mr. Hamilton Copper, with whom
had correspondence on geological mat
ters, and whom have already mentioned
as the one who donated the
splendid collection of fossil re-
mains to the museum at Washington,
and I may add of other like treasures 10
that of Philadelphia. On this higher lev
ell, near the slope which faces the rice
fields and the river, stands the home OF
Hopeton (Mr. Couper's residence), where
we spent our time very agreeably for
fortnight. Much has been said in praise
of the hospitality of the southern planter,
but they alone who have travelled in the
southern states can appreciate the per-
feet ease and politeness with which
stranger is made to feel himself at home.
Horse. carriages, boats, servants are all
at his disposal Even his little comforts
are thought of, and everything is done as
were a pleasure.
There Is a generous openness of char
acter in the southerners which men,
wealth and a retinue Of servants cannot
give, and they have often a dignity OF
manner without effusiveness which is
most agreeable"
Speaking of a trip made from the rice
plantation to st. Simons Island, Buffers
Island here Is what he saw:
The negro homes were neat and
I whitewashed, all hoored with board each
with an apartment call the hall, two
sleeping rooms and a loft for the chill
dren Not so bad. after all. On my re-
turn to Cannon's Point 1 found in the
well-stored library of Mr.. Copper Mich
and's Forest Trees and other costly
works"
On his return to Hopeton he wrote as
follows: I'VE visited the hospital, which
consists of three separate wards, all per-
fectly clean and well ventilated, one for
men, another for women, and a third for
lying-in women. The latter are always
allowed a months rest after their confine-
ment"
Georgia has been benefited beyond the
fondest dream of anyone who saw the
reconstruction days No sane man up
holds slavery in the past, but justice can
and should be done a class of men who
found themselves burdened with the re-
sponsibility of a system that England
| forced upon the state and New England
furnished the slaves
But. enough. The past is the dead past,
but let US look to the future and show

tan spirit that our forefathers did. II

and our descendants will be able to point

do to my ancestors.

was that all the houses would be alike
necessarily; that people would not hVe
in them on that account.
But the Edison molds are adapted TO
number of variations. With six sets OF
rnolds, which the inventor reckons as the
right number for good working arrange
ment. an immensely wide variety OF
houses can be constructed.
Now for description of an Edison
house. The one shown in the illustra-
ton is a one-family, two-story house, %
! by 30 feet outside, to go In lot 40 by 90.
! This gives a lawn and small garden room.
The front or living room is large, IA by
| % feet while the kitchen Is but three
| feet narrower. The ceilings are IL feet
| high. -...-
The stairway extends both ways-to the
living room and the kitchen. The second
| floor contains the two big bed rooms-one
10 by IA. the other three feet narrower.
| The upper hallway is nearly 20 feet long,
| leading from the back OF the house to
| the bath room, which is Z liz feet square.
The attic is q by q. which, with d.
viding partition. would make two rooms.
There are many windows-the down
stairs rooms have four each. ...
The material throughout is reinforced
concrete. The only woodwork Is the win
dow frames. which makes 1t impossible
for fires to break out.
The decorations are cast with the rest
of the house. So are all appliances, such
as bath and laundry tubs, steps, coal
| bunkers.
METHOD OF POURING.
The molds are not set up until the cellar
foundations are dug and gas and electric
and plumbing piping ready. These are
/ then set up with the molds, and all locked
together. 1t takes four days to set up
| the molds.
Then the pouring. The cement, already
| prepared in large mixers, is conveyed to
a tank placed on top of the forms. This
tank connects with several openings in
the roof. SO that the cement rises in all
parts of the house at once. The pouring
process itself takes six hours.
Four days are then allowed for the ce-
ment to dry then the dismantling can be
done. Then six. days more are allowed
to give every part Of the concrete time
to settle into it's rocklike form.
COST OF BUILDING.
Edison's estimate of the cost is based
on the building having the equipment and
trade to keep six molds busy all the time,
and on being able to use the gravel taken
in digging the foundations.
One set OF molds will cost $4,000. The
rest OF the plant would come to $4,000.
Successful operation, Edison figures,
would require six sets OF molds kept busy
] all year. Such an outfit could turn out
IA houses year.
