YOUNG EDISON
HAS PREMATURE
BOMB EXPLOSION
MEMS SECTION

New York, April 3-Theodore Edi-
son, the fourteen year old son of
Thomas A Edison, had an experience
Yesterday that reminded his amused
father of something that happened
to him when he was about the same
age. Theodore was experimenting
with explosives, in an effort to in
vent a floating bomb The contri-
vance exploded when Theodore did
not expect it A doctor picked pieces
hands, but the lad will get over it,
Just as his father got over all his
miEhaps.
The incident in the life of the in
ventor which Theodore's nishap re-
called was the explosion of his chem
icaI laboratory which Thomas A.
maintained while he was a newsboys
on a train, utilizing the baggage car
for the purpose Thomas had to re-
move the outfit to the cellar of his
fathers house after that experience,
for the railroad could not view with
comp1aoency the burning of bag
gage car every time the boy hit up
on some new idea.
Theodore late got the idea into his
head that he could manufacture a
bomb that would float on the water
and explode with tremendous power
whenever it happened to be touched
by a hostile vessel. Friendly vessels,
would, of course. be wise and avoid
touching the bomb To Theodore's
mind the best way to shape up the
device would be to inclose 1t in an
air-&ight bottle, and put the bottle
in casing of cork, SO that it would
be sure not to sink.
He had proceeded as far as mix
ing the explosive and depositing it in
the glass bottle, when the explosive
went off Theodore had the bottle in
= his hand.
Mrs. Edison has decreed that Theo-
dore's future experiments with ex-
pIcSives shall be under the supervi-.
sion of his father.

w. H. lAFT'S FIRST
DAY AS PROFESSOR

New Haven, April 3-WiIliam H.
Taft has experienced his first whole
day as Professor Taft, of Yale, and
that he enjoyed it was evident to ev-
cry one. Mr. Taft began his first day
as a member of, the faculty by at
tending the morning prayers at Bat
tell Chanel renewing the custom of
his undergraduate days, thirty-five
years ago.
And Professor Taft didn't sit UP on
the raised dais at BatteI, either. He
sat right down among the students
and took an active part in the SER
vice. Leaving the Taft Hotel, he
walked over College street to Bat
tell, and the groups of students on
caps in recognition of his new office,
continuing custom which has rather
'lapsed at Yale in the last few years.
Mr.. Taft called upon Dean Jones'
of the academic department in the af-
ternoon. 1t has not yet been decided
by the faculty when he will deliver
his first lecture to the Undergrad
Taft will have will be Lampson Ly-
ceum
w. w. Mischief, Mr.. Tafts secre-
tary, said that Mr.. Taft had come to
New Haven with the idea of working
and fami1iarizing himself with his
new field of labor, rather than attend
ing social functions. For this reason
he had to send out several declina-
lions to invitations received, among
them to invitations received, among
merce luncheon Saturday, the Yale
Lit dinner last night and the Cor
bey Court banquet later in the week.
He has accepted, however, the invi-
tation to the banquet of the Yale
Daily News board tonight

AT Exposition

Gaining in popularity every day
through sheer merit, the Bridgeport
exposition of manufacturers, mer-
chandise and food-products last even
number of visitors to the armory and
nearly 5000 Bridgeporters inspected
the miniature industrial city and left
the hall laden with souvenirs and use
full articles as a result of visiting the
various exhibits. The number in at
tendance last evening was fully as
great as greeted Mayor c. B. Wilson
on the opening night and the en-
thusiasm ran high. The new ex-
hibits in the annex were centers of
attraction and everywhere was heard
favorable comment on the excellence
of the exposition and the progressive
ness of the United Commercial Trav-
elers in conducting it.
The fame of the exposition hes
reached New Haven and tonight Pres
ident F. G. Bushnell of the Board of
Trade will be present to look it over
with the idea that the Elm City may
follow in Bridgeport's footsteps and
hold a similar affair. Tomorrow even
ing the entire New Haven council of
the United Commercial Travellers will
journey from New Haven to be the
guests of the lcaI council.
Ample evidence that the exposition
is a business proposition and a means
of exhibiting goods was shown by the
number of sales reported yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon the management
had the children of the seventh and
eighth grades of the public and pare
chiaI schools as their guests.
The Industrial m owing pictures are
still the big drawing card of the ex-
position. That the exposition is the
best attraction ever held in the city
is the opinion of all who visit the
armory and continued record-break-
ing attendance is expected.

the woman died. These remarkable
