| Despite the marvellous developments In
motor transportation the army mule will
still hold his place with the mobile army.
! All of the experiments that have been
conducted with automobiles and motor
trucks have not convinced the authorities
in the War Department that the long
cared friend of the soldier can be dis
placed in furnishing supplies and han
ding mountain artillery.
In mountain artillery the mule must be
depended upon entirely as a means Of
! transportation. He is the only machine
that Is equal to the task of following
the troops through a mountainous dis
trict This Is established not only by the
experience In the European war but by
the army on the Mexican border. He is
not only depended upon to pack supplies
and ammunition but the mountain artil-
lery guns.
In the estimates that will be submitted
to Congress this year will be one for the
purchase of twenty-seven motor trucks
and one supply truck for n motor truck
company. This truck company will be
assigned to a division and will be OPP
Grated largely on good roads along lines
OF communication between the troops
and the base Of supplies. The motor
truck company will have a carrying capac-
ity OF ScJO pounds against 1900 pounds
for divisional wagon trains. In addition,
carrying larger loads, the motor truck
companies can make more trips and will
greatly increase the mobility of a divis-
ion.

ments and brigades the mule will reign

I l imagine that Edison takes better care OF
himself now, rather, that he is more amend
able to care His wife guards him devotedy.
She keeps from him much unnecessary strain
as possible. Meanwhile, even while he is away,
an army of assistants. He knows that science is
only at the threshold of discovery and that the
pursuit of secrets grows more exciting every year.
Unlike many scientists, who content imparti-
ally to gather facts he is philosopher interested
in the social and economic movements that
promise revolutionary changes during the next
few years.

~ JOHN d. BARRY.

In talk, Thomas A. Edison is easy and genial.
In spite Of cosmopolitan experience, he remains
essentially an American in speech, bearing and
point of view. With all the newspaper men that
meet him he is very popular The only COM
plant to be heard is that often, instead Of giving
information. he likes to crack jokes. In this re-
gard he resembles Lincoln, and he has Lincoln's
tolerant and genial attitude toward the world.
As young telegraph operator Edison is known
to have lost his job account of his habit of
playing practical jokes. He was temperamentally
opposed to discipline. To this day he cannot re-
sist the temptation to indulge his fondness for a
humorous exchange. When he was passing with
his wife recently through ons of the San Francisco
Exposition buildings he saw man in asbes-
!tos suit. Il should like to get one of those to
wear after / die" said Mrs. Edison. Get Tung-
stem" said Edison. "Resists the heat better.
1t was natural that, during his FIRST days at the
exposition, Edison should have been chiefly inter-
ested in the lighting effects. He paid Walter
Darcy Ryan many compliments. Among other
things. he said that Ryan had developed the
science of illuminating into an art, discovery
that San Francisco had already made and was glad
to find verified by so great an authority. Among
the buildings he singled out the Palace of Fine
perfect, with balance nicely adjusted, that no
part could be removed without damaging the strue-
ture as whole, as keen bit of art criticism as
could have been spoken. Incidentally. Edison re-
minded San Franciscans that in keeping this work
of genius they would do service for the city, not
merely esthetic but practical They would have
as permanent possession a monument bound to
become celebrated throughout civilization.
Some of those who most admire Edison oc-
casionally express regret that he has not devoted
himself to pure science. They think that if he
had paid less attention to discoveries of great COM
mercial value he might have conferred greater
benefits on the race. But the speculation is du-
bious. Edison is distinguished not merely for his |
theoretical but for his practical service, of direct
benefit to mankind. 1t is unquestionable that, of
to be accused of not using his gifts in efficient
way. So much talent in the world has been wasted
because it has not been accompanied by energy
and devotion and because it has lacked the in
centive of opportunity Here Edison has been most
fortunate His whole career shows that his inven-
ton is the kind that restlessly and persistently
energizes. When he gets on the trail of secret
he follows it with all the joy of the hunter "You
should him when he gets going" one of his
secretaries remarked to me some time ago, at the
period when Edison would spend days and even
weeks at time in his factory, working sometimes
nearly week at stretch, taking hardly enough
time to eat and time at all to sleep. Gee,
when he comes out he does look touSL."

Meanwhile it should be remembered there are
other Edisons in the world most of them Union
ored and unknown, patient workers in science, in
cipient inventors striving to WOO the secrets of
nature Then there still other Edisous many
of them, who also receive little honor, those who
arc striving to throw light into the dark places of
the human consciousness, giving US concepts

perhaps, we shall recognize their service and wake

make US see.

Wise observer of life as he is, Edison shows
in his talk that he sets himself up an
about his work The best way of drawing him
out is to get him to talk shop He takes wholly
modest pride in his fondness for pursuing his re-
searches as far as he can possibly go. In his re-
gard he compared himself the other day with
Burbank. Since the outbreak of the war he has
taken keen interest in developing those varieties
of carbolic acid that he needed for his phono-
graph discs and that were cut off by the war He
is also working on the making of dyes similar to
those that Germany had the worlds market for
In his age he retains his first ardor for his scien-
feeling and to keep those keen, grayish blue eyes
of his sparkling.
