passed through periods Of varying use
after It was abandoned by Mr. Edison.
It was used rs q dwelling, later as q
church and finally was dismantled for
its brick. Original drawings and the
memory of Mr. Edison and members
of the Edison pioneers have made 1t
possible to reproduce the building with
similar brick manufactured by the same
concern which supplied the brick for
the original structure. One of the old
shutters of the original building was
located By Mr.. Ford, restored to its first
condition, and is now in the duplicate
building, this old shutter tying the past
to the lasting memorial.
Soil Is Brought, Too.
The original cherry furniture in this
building will be duplicated by Mr.. Ford
and is to be made from the cherry
tree which stood for years in the old
Menlo Park compound, the tree too old
to transplant. Seven carloads of top
soil have been brought from the old
Menlo Park to the new. A sprout from
an old apple tree, now dead, standing
in the former Menlo Park back of the
machine shop, has been brought to the
memorial grounds and planted in the
same relative position occupied by the
parent tree.
Sarah Jordan's boarding house, the
original transplanted, stands, as it for
merly did, near the Edison buildings

The old organ sang its life out long
ago, but Mr.. Ford has had duplicate

spot hallowed by its predecessor. Mr..
Edison, on his visits to his rebuilt work.
shops, may delight to sit at the organ
and play again some of the old tunes
which relieved the monotony Of trial
and failure, trial and failure-until at
last the way was found to glorious final
achievement. q
In his search far and wide for
Edisonia, Mr. Ford one day came upon
document written by Mr.. Edison con-
corning the gas which was distilled for
his use in the laboratory from gasoline,
not far from the carpenter shop where
wood patterns were made. This docu-
ment contained enough descriptive ma
terial concerning the still to make 1t
possible, with the aid of Mr.. Edison's
memory, to reconstruct the device.
Now it is supplying Illuminating gas
to the buildings.
Carbon Shop Is Replaced.
Another small building, known rs the
carbon shop" because here kerosene
lamps with wicks turned high deposited
on their chimneyS the SCOT collected by
Mr.. Edison and compounded into the
carbon button used in his new tele-
phone receiver. also disappeared years
ago. This building has been replaced.
1t is recalled that when making the
new incandescent lamp, Mr.. Edison put
this collected carbon SCOT under by
draulic pressure and rolled out the
lamp filamentS.
Another building, the glass house."
standing back of the Edison Once
Building, originally was the photo
graphic studio, the globes for the early
incandescent lamp experiments having
been made in Philadelphia. Mr.. Edison
converted this studio into q glass blow
ing plant and employed experts to do
the work. 1t was in this building that
the globe for the first incandescent
lamp was blown.
This glass house had a varied his
tory. After the transfer of the Edison
plant from Menlo PARK to Orange,
squatters used the old glass house as q
dwelling. Later it was used as q chicken
coop. Written history might intimate
that the psychology of association
caused hens to lay glass eggs in this
coop. But no writer of book history
has dealt with the coop.
Still a Coop When Found.
The building was still a chicken coop
in a recent year when the General
Electric Works, Harrison, N. a., got
possession Of 1t and restored 1t to its
| first condition. This concern later pre-
sented the restored building to Mr.. Ford
| for his Edisonia.
Today the working equipment Of the
glass house is restored, and an old
time glass blower is there to blow globes
for the memorial re-enactment October
81. This glass blower will teach the
trade to students In the Ford Trades
plant.

first to be lighted with electricity, the
Edison assistants running underground
wires from the machine shop to the

fixture into an electric fixture.

Fresh impetus was given to cooper
alton with Mr.. Ford in this enterprise
when, on February IL, the Edison Pion--
GERS. a New York organization, met at
the Hotel Astor and appointed COM
mittee to confer with similar commit
tees, representing the Association OF

worked in the laboratory years ago
seemed to Mr.. Ford to be at fault In
placing the main post of the stairway.
THE dimensions of that stairway did
not seem to me to be just right" he
said. IT went into that and found that
we had the pest 18 inches out Of posi-

with which MIR. Edison worked to be

He pointed to glasS-covered cubbies
built into the walls of the reconstructed
laboratory, in which are placed quanti-
ties of experimental light bulbs which
had been broken and consigned, with
all kinds, shapes and sizes of pottery
and other discarded materials, to great
hole Mr.. Edison had dug in the yard
adjoining the Menlo Park laboratory.
I'VE found in that hole carload Of
materials, and We are saving every lit
tie piece" Mr.. Ford said. I'VE found
one light bulb whole and ready for use,
if filament is put into it."

Another side of the restored labora-
tory room had similar cabinet spaces
all used by Mr.. Edison and his work.
men in the early days. Every bit of
broken pottery found is saved-even the
hole from which this scrap material
was recovered has been duplicated.
Visitors to the Dearborn EdiSonia
collection will notice a deep depression
in the ground back of the Office build
ing, and will wonder why Mr.. Ford
should permit this designation. This
is the reproduction of Mr.. Edison's scrap
burial ground of the old days.
The Edison pioneers found one of the
front doors of the old Edison laboratory
installed in a millinery shop in Menlo
Park and another in barber shop.
Both were reclaimed and now are In
their original position in the restored
building.
Mr.. Ford wanted the chemicals and
apparatus with which Mr.. Edison work
ed in the laboratory restored as nearly
as possible in every detail With Mr..
Edison's aid, the man who supplied
chemicals to the laboratory was found.
He analysed old bills of sale. and,
drawing on these and his memory, he
has supplied the same chemicals In the
same kind of bottles and containers Mr..
Edison used and many Of these were
from his own stock; others were OBJ
tanned from the old sources.
Old Employe Aids Ford.
Through Francis Jehl, an old en-
ploye of Mr.. Edison, the only survivor
besides Mr. Edison of the group present
when the incandescent lamp was in
vented, and now employed by Mr.. Ford
in restoring the Edison buildings, all
equipment in the laboratory is arranged
as it was so years ago.
An uncle of Theodore Roosevelt pre-
sented an organ to Mr.. Edison, and this
was placed by the inventor in one end
of the second floor of the laboratory

EAST LEADS WEST
IN TENNIS SERIES
Doubles Championship Play
Brings Entries Below
Usual Standard.

BY the Associated Press.
TOREST HILLS, N. Y, August 81.
l. Winning tive of the singles
matches and the one doubles
i encounter, the East took a lead
of three matches to one over
the West as the annual two-day tennis
series between the rival sections got
the West Side Stadium today. Five
more matches are scheduled for Mon
day, with the East needing only two
victories to clinch the series.
With the strongest players Of both
teams competing in the national doubles
championship at Brookline, Mass, the
standard of the days play was some
what below East-West contests. In the
most interesting and best-played singles
match, Frank Shields, the former
national Junior champion from New
York, wore out the sharp-shooting
Bradshaw Harrison of Tacoma, WASH,
to win at 12-10, 60.
Double faults and cratic play on
both sides marred the victory Of Richard
N. Williams, I'd, the old national title
holder from Philadelphia, over Phil
Neer, San Francisco, intercollegiate
champion from Stanford eight years
ago. by scores of 6-3, Ga.
The VESTS only tally came in the
last Of the singles contests, when
bespectacled Harris Coggeshan, Des

In the doubles, were beaten without great
dificulty by Williams and Chields, 6--4,

MONTROSE NETMEN
JOLTED; STILL LEAD

Despite a rather surprising 3-to-4 de-
feat yesterday at the hands of Rock
Greek, the Montrose racketers are still
ahead in the battle for the title in the
Public Parks Tennis League. Yester-
days matches ended the regular sched-
ule, so upon the outcome of several post
poned encounters will hinge the cham
pionship.
Potomac jumped from last to third
place in the race by winning seven Of
eight matches from Henry Park. AS q
result Henry Park now Is last, Rock
Creek still Is fourth.
One of yesterdays doubles matches
between Rock Creek and Montrose was
called because of darkness with each
team having one victory. Loney and
Neale of Rock Greek defeated Latona
and Mcdonald of MontroSe, 60, in the
first set, but the latter came back to
take the second, 1913, before darkness
came. The third match Will be played
later.
