obtain most Of their endoWmentS from
their mothers. This was conspicuous

which has literally lighted up the
world.
Young Edison made his entrance
INTO the Industrial world as a newSboy
on the Grand Trunk railroad. and he
was scarcely established on the job
before he had eleven boys working for
him.
Edison used his spare time between
trains in reading.
1t was EdisDn'S ambition mt that
time To become an editor. He cOn
reived the idea of conducting n train
newspaper. wlich was to contain not
only news of the war, which was then

stance that would record only the
musical sounds and not the noises in

Wax proved more successful than the
steel. Later the use Of a composition

sounds We're in q measure eradicated.

able to hear the notes. Although he
has had no training as Il musician
cannot distinguish one note from the
other as he expresses it Edison has
q musical ear that catches faults and
discoruS that even expert musicians
might overlook.
Among the most important inven-
lions Of the wizard besides the phOno-

the storage battery. The lamp has
