A phonograph served as a witness
'In a railroad ease in Boston. It was
iused to reproduce tlio noise which
trains of the elevated railroad iniide
in passing a certain building. The
owner of the building asserted that
,tho rental value of his property was
"injured by the noise, and Houglit
compensation from the railroad com

of tho nature of the sounds as a

Thomas A. Edison Is IX) years old,
and to the world and to the workers
who aro striving for tlio opening of
even vaster Holds of Invention and In
dustry, ho declares that before he dies
ho oxixx'tH to see locomotives cross the
continent using only a few pounds of
coal for fuel, to see giant steamships
driven net-oss the Atlantic at high speed
by a shovelful of coal, and to see the
problem mo aerlaj navigation solved.
That ho will discover the secret and
solve any of these problems he dot's nol
claim. Ills message to the world is
that they will be done.
One does not have to he old to recall
tho llrst electric light, or the first tele
phone. Less than a (piarter of a cen
tury ago the electric light was so much
of a curiosity that one of tho biggest
circuses In tho country made it the fea
ture of the show. It was not, as might
ho supposed, used to lllutiiliiiite the
"iiiainmoth pavilion." Tho circus sim
ply carried a portable engine and dyna
mo and had one solitary light upon a
IH)lo to he beheld in awe and wonder
ment by the great American public.
Since tho electric light has become so
common tutu it is at nines louno in
what was only a few years ago the
hack woods, tho younger generation,
who have been used to it from Infancy,
scarcely will bo able to realize what a
marvel It was to those who, after hear
ing their grandparents talk of the "tal
low dip," and who considered gaslight
something that could not be Improved,
found themselves beneath tho daz.Ung
rays of Mr. Edison's wonderful Invention.
Tho career of Thomas Alva Edison
has been a most Interesting one and
should bo an Inspiration to every ambi
tious boy, regardless of tho fact that
In his youth he devoted his time to
making electrical discoveries Instead of
killing Indians or being a pirate. Ills
boyhood was not without the Instances
that go to make the life of a boy or
young man Interesting. As "train boy,"
printer, telegrapher and In a few oth
er lines he had experiences that might
have furnished material for many a
writer of stories such ns would Interest
tho properly constituted boy.
Ho has done more than any modem
American to place tho land of his birth
among the nations which lead tho sclen
tl lie world. He ranks with Roentgen,
Ivoch, Ilneckel and others of that class.
Indeed, It may bo said that ho leads
tho clapt. And ho Is still at? deeply In
terested In tho quest for new truths
about electricity and other sciences as
ho was half a century ago.
When such a man speaks It Is with
tho wisdom of tho oracle, so we may
listen with attention ns well as faith.
Whether It Is a prophecy as to tho fu
turo or advice based upon the experi
ences of the past, what he says Is en
titled to consideration.
As to the possibilities of the future
tho wizard says:
"It is only a question of time when
it will bo possible to run an express
train from New York to Buffalo with
tho power generated from two bushels
of coal.
"It Is only a question of time when
all tho electric plants will bo estab
llshed whero the coal comes out of the

and cheaper than transiting coal by
railroad.
"I expect to see ships cross the At
lantic in three days before I die; and
I also expert to see a successful air
ship." Mr. Edison did a rare thing In cele
bration of his birthday. Ho allowed
himself to be Interviewed.
"Now," ho laughed, "I feel at homo.
P.ut what Is It yo'u want me to say?"
"Do you expect to make any special
announcement on your birthday?" was
ventured.
"Everything depends depends on
how certain problems pan out. It would
give me all tho pleasure Imaginable to
make an announcement every day In
the year, hut It Is mere foolishness to
express hopes when all the world wants
or Is concerned In are results."

might call corresponding relations,
When some scientist finds time hang

while there are far more vital and lm

"The control of the energy stored In
coal, directly and without waste, for
example. Is It a possibility? Yes, It Is
not only possible but probable of dls
covcry. Some day soon It will be done.
"Ninety tier cent of the energy stored
In coal now Is lost. That Is a trenien
dous waste. It goes off lu heat from
the chimneys, and especially Is wasted
In the process of converting water Into
steam. If, therefore, a means can bo
devised by which this enormous wasto
Is saved, It will revolutionize and vast
ly cheapen the production of power. The
result will have an Incalculable influ
encc upon the material progress of eh'
lllzatlon. It will enable an ocean liner
of, my, 20,000 horse power, to cross tho
Atlantic In unprecedented tlmo and
with nn expenditure of nlout one-tenth
the amount of fuel now required 250
tons Instead of ,".,000 tons. It will en
able an engine to draw an express train
from Now York to IJufTnlo on a two

It can and soon will bo dono: some of

tho greatest promise, to my way of
thinking. What's that you ar saying?
What will follow a victory In that dl

"Do you think one of the wlentltlc
triumphs of the near future will bo

The Chinese minister at Washiuu-
ton is a noted story teller. Here is
one of his latest yarns: There was
a rich Chinaman who had three dogs
Alien he came home one evening he
found them asleep on his couch of
teak wood and marble, lie whipped
them and drove them forth. The
next night when he came home, tho
dogs were lying on tho lloor. But he
placed his hand on tho ccuch and
found it warm from their bodies.
Therefore he gave them anothor
whipping. The third night, return
ing earlier than imial, ho found the
dogs sitting beside the couch, blow
ing on it to cool it.
