Edison punches a time card each daywheRi e"comes and goes, just. as any other employe, and his time card is the best evil dence oE his beHef in bts deftni- tion.
 A study of one lof MT. Edison's time cards is interesting This, his time card for tue week ending August 27, shows that. on Wednes- Iav Mir. Edison did not come in at all in the -mornin, for he was al ready in, having worked all night. He left at S:16 in the morning and returned six hours later punching in" at 2:20. Again he worked all .utght, leaving the following morn fng at S:11 after an 1S-hou1 strech of work. Thus he 'labored night after night and at the end of the week the punching shows a total of 95 hours and 49 minutes to his c1e lit. This time card was selected at random and does not differ much from the time card found in the rack under Mr. Edisons name at The end of almost any week.
