Edward learning of his friends

come for him to revenge himself for

reason of his evil life, and is leaving
for the mountains accompanied by
Dolly.
Shortly after Henry's release, a
child, Walter, has been born to his
wife, and now at the age of four the
boy develops lung trouble.
Edwards demise shortly afterward
from tuberculosis strengthens Ruth's
determination to have Walter receive
the benefits of the dry mountain air
immediately.
Dolly Rivers, who has become Ed
wards heir, calls on Henry to demand
the return of the forged stock certif-
icate, for which she AYERS no consid-
Grafton had been given, and is value
less in the eyes of the law. Then,
Dolly, remembering the scornful
treatment accorded her by Ruth and
herself in love with Henry, divulged
under what circumstances Henry es-
capped Imprisonment.

less pleasing and logical.

and just as Mr.. Edison had prophe-
sled, it proved impossible to distin-
guish Madame Rappold's voice from
Edison's reproduction of it. Next day
the New York papers were enthusiast

SIC" The Globe referred to it as "the
monograph with a SOUL" One writer
stated that Edison had developed a
new art-"Music's Recreation
Similar tests were made with other
artists in Boston, Philadelphia and
elsewhere, and with the same result.
One of Mr.. Edison's associates coll
lected all of the newspaper reviews
and found that the music critics of
more than 200 newspapers had testi--
fled to the fact that Mr.. Edison's So
called recreation of music could not
be distinguished from the original
music. These newspaper reviews were
neatly pasted in a scrap book and
shown to the inventor. He glanced
through the scrap book and then re-
marked: "The opinions of these ex-
perts prove that we have accomplish
ed what we set out to accomplish, but
somehow or other the opinion of lay
man is always more interesting to me
than the opinion of an expert. When
| complete an invention like to know
what the man in the street thinks OF
it and how he thinks it is going to
benefit him."
Mr.. Edison's associates remember
ing this remark decided to get the
opinions of non-expert and non-tech-
nical people. Without Mr.. Edison's
knowledge they arranged through
Watson, Parker & Reese of this city
and merchants of several other cities
to place a number of these new in
struments in various homes and gel
the untechnical opinion of typical
american families.
To stimulate interest in the matter
81 900 in prizes are offered for the
best opinions. This contest occurs dur.
ing Edison week. The first prize il
$500, the second $500, and the thirt

It is proposed to print the prize-win

FOR EDISON WEEK|PRETTY NEW HOME

More than 100000 people are en-
ployed in the various industries
founded by Thomas A. Edison. In the
United States alone over 100000 men
and women earn their livelihood in
vacations created by Edison's genius.
For number of years a group OF
these industries has observed Octob-
er 21st. the anniversary of Mr.. Edi-
sons invention of the electric light.
This year the week of October 18th
to 21st will be observed throughout
the United States and Canada as Edi-
son week. The light and power COM
panies will manifest their recognition
of the fact that Mr.. Edison is the
founder of their industry, and thous-
ands of other men and women who
| make their living by virtue of Edi-
| sons inventions will play their part
in this unusual demonstration.
Among the many things planned
for the celebration of Edison week
is $1,000 prize contest arranged by
associates of the inventor This con-
test had its origin in remark which
Mr.. Edison made last spring to one
of his assistants.
Music is Mr.. Edison's hobby. His
/ intimates and associates are aware
that of the thousand or more inven-
tons which he has developed, the
| photograph is his favorite. He has
| always contended that there is no
reason why photograph could not
be made which would reproduce musi-
cal sounds so perfectly that the me-
| chanica1 reproduction would be ex-
| actly ike the original music, in fact,
/ SO exactly like it as to be indistin-
/ guishable from the original. For years
Mr.. Edison has stated that when he
i got time he would develop such a
/ photograph. Scientists generally
scoffed at the idea, and even his own
laboratory assistants, with the excep-
ton of two or three who have been
with Mr.. Edison so long that they
believe nothing is impossible, were in
elined to think that the perfect phono-
graph was thing that could never
be.
Several years ago, having complet-
ed his work on the storage battery
Mr.. Edison decided that he would try
to develop a means of recording and
reproducing sound which would make
the reproduction indistinguishable
from the original. 1t proved to be the
longest and most costly research work
ever undertaken by Mr.. Edison. He
spent nearly 100000 in expert
ments alone, and these experiments
were not completed until March o.
this year. When the new invention
and new record were perfected, Mr.
Edison said, "Now we shall find our
what we have. Rent Carnegie Hall
New York City, and get Madame Rap
pold of the Metropolitan Opera tt
go over there. Have her stand beside
the new monograph and sing in &C
tual comparison with our records o
her voice. Invite the music critic,
and the music lovers of New Yorl
City. Get the most critical audienc,
you can possibly get. If have sue
ceeded in doing what / set out to do
they won't be able to tell Madam,
Rappold's voice from the phono
graphs reproduction of her voice."
/ While Mr.. Edison's associates be
lieved that he had produced wonder
full invention, they doubted whether il

audience of critical musicians, i
