Building Where Edison Turned
Out First Bulb Brought in
Sections from MenlO Park.

In the real of the office of the Gen.
eral Electric Works, Harrison, are the
sections of the frame structure in
which the first incandescent lamp was
made. The parts were carted to Har-
rison from Menlo Park, and arrived
yesterday. In this building Thomas A.
Edison turned out the first lamp. A
time ago he decided to raze all of
h buildings at Menlo Park and off,
Gals at the Harrison plant asked him
for the birthplace of the incandescent
lamp"
The building is to be erected in the
yard of the Harrison works and it will
be fitted out exactly the same as 1t
was at Memlo Park. officials at the
Harrison plant are to meet next week
and make definite arrangements for
reconstruction.
The first public exhibition of mean
descent lighting was at Menlo Park in
December, 1870. The shanty contained
only one room and a half loft. In this
place three glassblowers worked They
were Ludwig K. Boehm, William Hol-
ger and James Nipple. Nipple learned
to blow glass In this place. Boehm
was head glassblower. He had a bed
in the half loft and slept there.
They had no tubulating Of stem
making or sealing-in machines. All
work was done by hand. They made
all h bulbs by hand out of glass
tube. The gas they used was made
from gasoline in their own apparatus,
as no city supply was available. A
foot bellows worked by the glass
blower himself supplied the air to the
fires. Working under these conditions
the three men made about twenty-five
lamps a day. To-day, with modern
glass-working machines three opera
tors will do the glass work of twenty
five lamps in ten minutes.
The men working with Mr.. Edison
at Menlo Park had to work all kinds
of hours, for Edison d~isregarded the
clock. Many times he worked all night
and kept his assistants there with him,
but usually a period of rest followed a
night OF two of work, and once In the
summer of 1880 Mr.. Edison hired a
boat and with all his assistants went
fishing down off Long Branch and AS
bury Park.

The ambitions of Henry Dingman. Al

REPUBLICANS
NOW AFTER
9 DISTRICTS
May Make Decided Gain in New
Plan for Congressional
Representation.

Former Governor Franklin Murphy
last night presented to the Essex
County Republican Committee the CON-
plete plan for the projected redistrict-
Ing of the State in accordance with the
Increased congressional representation
in New Jersey from ten to twelve. NO
hanges are made in the first four dis
tricts, lying in the southern part OF
the State, but county lines in other Sec
lions are considerably altered.
Although the plan reflects the wishes
of the county committee, 1t Is said that
the State leaders favor 1t also and that
1t is not unlikely that a bill embodying
the present plans will be presented to
the Legislature.
According 10 the increase in popula-
ton from the last ensus of more than
700, 900, the ratio adopted for the crea-
ton of the new districts is 211, 430.
This ratio has been held to as nearly
as possible, it was said, the lowest
figures of population for the proposed
districts being 191. $40 and the highest,
1904
In speaking about the proposed dis
tricts, Governor Murphy said:
"Whatever we do we must
remember that we're going to be criti-
cised by the other fellow. But we have
~endeavored to see to it, anyway, that
as long as we are going to ave twelve
Congressional districts that perhaps
nine of them might as well be Repub-
lican. So, in arranging the districts.
strictly according to the law, We have
arranged so that nine of them shall be
Republican. But, of course, you never
can tell.
1--WE have found that we will have to
break county lines, but we think the
justifies 1t. There is no
telling, of course, as to whether the
Legislature will adopt this. It is only
tentative and 1t Is up to the people and
the Legislature. Perhaps I'm not so
sure that they will acquiesce in the
plan."
According to the scheme, Essex
County in particular il split UP. Part
of Newark is taken with the West
Hudson towns and part OF Passaic
County to make the Seventh District.
Another section of Newark makes up
the Eighth District with some of the
Essex municipalities and the Ninth
District takes the balance of the city
and county.

With this report for 1911, the officers
of the Humane Society desire to state
that the organization has never been IN

and energy. which we give gratuitously.

We invite you to visit the Shelter and
talk with the supervisor, that you may
see for yourself the practical work
done.
at is less than a year since a commit
tee was formed. and a fund established.
for the relief of old and disabled horses.
During this time a number of animals
have been purchased and humanely
disposed of, and this at a minimum of
cost. Donations have been received
from time to time from persons inter
ested in this necessary work. and we
confidently look for continued encour-
agement in the future.
1.-THE society deplores the suffering Of
horses, especially upon the grades, in
slippery weather. and has made sew
eral appeals to the city fathers to sand
the streets as occasion demanded, GO
ing so far as to map out a system for
securing best results at a minimum Of
expense. The effort to secure noiseless
pavement has resulted in streets which
are almost impossible at times for
working horses and this has made 1t
imperative to adopt efficient measures
to overcome such conditions. The aim
OF the society is to extend it's work in
all possible directions. Will you who
read this end your influence and give
of your means toward helping those
who cannot speak for themselves"

IN STORM,
MAY NOT SURVIVE

Christopher Courtney, SO years old,
of q Grand street, Montclair, was
found lying unconscious in an alley
way between his home and the ad-
joining house by members of his fam
lily early today. He was removed to
the Mountainside Hospital, where he
is still unconscious. His condition Is
said to be very serious.

caused his fall. His family did not
hear any unusual noise during the
night. but arose early when he did not
appear. Courtney. who Is a laborer,

DANGEROUS COLOR is BLUE
Men Who Voyage Above the Earth
Prefer Red for the Covering Of
Their Balloons

In case you ever feel tempted to buy
a balloon, don't buy a blue one. Red
ones are the best. There is a scientific
reason why. According to the re.
searches of NJ. Reynaud. caoutehouc is
strongly attracted by the ultraviolet
rays from the mercury vapor lamp
with a quartz tube. which Is a power
full source OF such rays. This fact
has practical bearing in connection
with balloon envelopes which are
treated with caoutchouc.
Aeronauts are familiar with the dis
coyery that the envelopes suffer dur
ing ascenslons, and this is explained
by the greater effect of ultraviolet
rays at high attitudes Experiment

ing matter on the envelopes. and red
balloons are sometimes seen, but
never blue or violet. NJ. Reynuud CON
siders that red is the best color to
use. as It not only absorbs the ultra
violet rays, but also the blue rays, and
these last are likely to share in the
bad action of the suns rays upon bal.
looms.

Societies Are Injurious.

In an address before the Southern
Wisconsin Teachers association, Mr..
George f. Vincent, president of the
University of Minnesota, spoke on
'The New Duty of the School," and
took a stand against secret societies
III high schools. characterizing them
as breeders of snobbishness and AFRO
gance
Education is, in a sense, always
behind the times" he said. Econom-
ic and social changes create new prob
lens and call attention to the new du-
ties. The school is forced too often
reluctantly to change its aims and
methods to meet shifting social needs.
The Industrial revolution" which
began in England in the eighteenth
century has transformed modern soci-
ETY., and is still at work IN contem-
porary American life. The factory
system and steam transportation have
profoundly modified the family by
turning over many of it's functions to
social agencies. Economic classes,
not sharply defined. but clearly distin-
guishable, are becoming increasingly
conscious of themselves and of each
other. Moreover the nation is being
urbanized; not only are our great
cities growing larger. but city Gus
toms, standards and ideals are being
widely distributed through rural re-
gions.
The school is not an Independent
power which descends from above to
elevate the community, said DIR. Vim
cent. 1t is rather an organ of society
in close relation to the common life.
Boards of education represent usual
ly the conventional ideas of the COM
munity. Teachers feel that they
must conform to accepted standards
of the profession and to the expecta-
tions of the countrysides. towns and
cities which they serve. The influence
of press, conversation, admired types,
manners and customs is exerting a
steady pressure upon the school as an
institution.
