THOMAS EDISON JOLTS HUMAN FAILINGS Mo4retlom la Estlu ava a Promoter ' of Buoyant ileulth and Work a stlmalna to Crtat Ac- ' j coinpltahmcuta. Whenever the Wizard of Menlo Park talks for publication he has something te aay that Is worth saying and thoughtful people sit up and liaiun. In a talk with a correspondent of the New York World, ' the other day, Mr. Edison declared thut people "eat too much, aloep too much and don't work enough." In aupport of this sweeping declaration the wizard said: The average man mould be much bet ter off and would do very much better work If be would cut down his food and aleep and labor a little harder. Men eat and sleep themselves stupid. Sometimes they eat and sleep themselves Into the grave. Tney talk about working too hard. That Is absolute nonsense. Generally speaking, a man can't work too hard, it .does him good. ... "Why, I've worked for five days and ' nights without sleep and with very little . loud, and did as good work In those condl '. lions as I ever did In my life. That was vhen I was working out the incandescent ; light Idea. It's ail a uwuci uf Uubu. Short Rat loss as a Car. ? "Some time ago my stomach troubled me," ' lio continued. "I didn't know what was the matter, but I Imagine now that It was the X-ray that caused some internal .constriction. It also drw my left eye nut of focus, although that trouble has since disappeared. However, when my trouble was acute I bejrun to experiment with my diet to see wliKt -AOI.M co run of It. I had always been a light tile;-, but I decided to cut down n.y food k'.Ul more. ' For two months I lived on f'ur ounces tooa for each meal. That mads twelve at Xbod. Oay. Of oourse I varied my food. I would take a teaspoonful of peas, a small pieco of toast and caviar, a tiny sandwich, a little bit of ham, a frag ment of rye bread with Swiss cheese and so on. "What was the result? At ths end of two months of this diet I weighed Just as much as when I began, exactly 185 pounds. "I found that living on twelve ounoas of food a day for four weeks had made m mentally blighter and had neither dimin ished my strength nor my weight. And, mind you, I had been working just as bard as before I cut down the site of my meals. "You know about Louis Cornaro, the Venetian, who "wrote a book on how to live long? He had lived a life of excess until he was nearly forty years old. He was weak, melancholy and could accomplish nothing. His doctors told him he waa on the straight road to death. Then ha de cided to change his way of living. The principal change he made was to eat less. He grew strong, his mind became brighter and more cheerful and he lived to a hun dred years old. "Now, my father lived to be ninety-four years old. My grandfather lived to be a hundred and two years old. My great grand-father lived to be a hundred and four years old. All three were disciples of Cornaro and lived according to his Ideas. Food aad Exorclso. "Of course while I was living on twelve ounces of food a day I was taking no exer cise. If I had been walking about my lab oratory much or If I had been going up and down stairs a good deal. I would have added four or 'live ounces more of food a day to muke up for the waste tissue. But there can be no doubt that twelve ounces of food a day Is rniiugli for a man who takes no physical exercise. "A b.g eater has got to take exercise no doubt about that; It Is an absolute ne cessity. The great masfes of men engaged In manual toil need plenty of food simply because they have plenty of bodily exer cise. ' In my judgment, a hod-carrier, for in stance, requires three or four pounds of food a day. The strain upon his body due to Hie carrying of heavy weights up long ladders calls for extra food. T.wt the average machinist eats 30 or 40 per rent too much. He would be a stronger, brighter and happier man on less food. "It Is simply appalllug to kuow bow professloual men and others who do little physical work stuff themselves. There Is no sense In It. It means dullness, disease and early death. It Is an extraordinary thing to observe how great business men, the lawyers, doctors and clergymen of New York, men who show the highest Intelligence In ordinary matters, continue to sin against nature by overeating. "The slightest practical Investigation of the evidence on the subject would prove to them that they are clogged up with undigested food. A short trial of s scantier diet would Improve their mental and physical condition and make work a pleasure to them. Yet they go right on filling themselves up simply to gratify an appetite born of habit. "A man, after all, is simply an engine and his stomach la a furnu.ee. If you put too much coal in a furnace the grate bars will be clogged up and you will get worse instead of better work out of the englue. Habit of Oversleeping". "As for sleep, that Is another prevailing form of Intemperance. People sleep too much. They drug themselves with sleep. The truth Is that this vice of oversleeping is a habit. "If a man will only try to get along with less sleep he will be surprised to discover how little he really needs. And he will find his faculties very much improved by the effort. "It is not so much the quantity as the quality of sleep that counts. The man who lies eight or nine hours In bed, tossing about from time to time, doesn't get any thing like as much rest as the man who sleeps soundly for five hours. "I said that I had worked on the in candescent light problem for five days und Ave nights without sleep. Well, after that I slept twenty hours. But It was a fine, deep, refreshing sleep. After I got up I went at my work as strong and keen as ever. "We are slaves to sleep," he said. "Why, for instance, should, we go to sleep at night?. The only difference between night and day is that the sun goes down in one case and comes up in the other. What difference should that make? I suppose it is simply habit acquired through thousands of years of ancestry. We have become like the chickens who go tT roost when It U dark. I cannot account for it except on the ground of long-continued, habit. "Another common mistake u to look upon hard work as Injurious. You see, Mr. This-and-That-and-the-Other-Fellow an nouncing that be has been working very hard and must go off to Europe for a rest. Bosh! He has been eating and drinking too much and hasn't worked half enough. "The healthy man can't work too hard or too muoh. When hie work tires him out he will go to sleep and will get the right kind of sleep. Not only I but my assistants work frequently for days and days with practic ally no sleep, or very little, and we all feel better off for it. It makes us brighter and it makes us feel better. "Work, hard work, simply puts an edge on a man for more hard work. If he Is dull and can't sleep, let him work a little more. If that doesn't help matters, let him work still more and still harder. In the end he will come out all right. "Nor does hard work shorten a man's life. Look at Gladstone and Bismarck. Look at Chevroul, the great French chemiat, lec turing In Paris at the age of lOu years. Iiok at the tremendous workers in ull countries who have lived to be very old men. They lived temperately, didn't overeat or over sleep and, I believe, actually prolonged their lives by the wholesome stimulation of hard work. "Some men think that after a good dy work they can best stimulate themselves by taking a little whisky or beer or wine. In my own case I And lhat the best way t' stimulate myself after u day's work is .o work at night. That's tine. "Here I am, a man approaching uo years, and sea how strong and active I am. The greatest pleasure In my life is work. I gel out of bed at 5 o'clock in the morning. tiiUe a walk out among the trees und birds ami wait around, reading the newspapers until the folks gel up, which is at about t: o'clock. Then 1 lake my breakfast with them and go to work. 1 keep at my tusk until about C o'clock In the afternoon. Then I go home to dinner. I generally get to the I am through my meal as soon as the others. I seldom waste more than live inii. utes at the table. Then I gel out my note books and work until 11 or 12 o'clock it hlrlit preparing for the next day. After that, bed and a fine slop. That's the way to live if you hope to ai.i onipli.-h any thing." "But you must simply bolt your food, Mr. Kdisou." "What docs that matter T I eat so little that my stomach can take care of it any liow. It's the man who over-eats, the man who stuffs himself who must be careful about how he eats. "I say that a man can't work too hard, and I mean it. But, of course, I refer to the work that a man likes work that in terests his mind and Is suitable to his strength. I admit that a man can Injure himself by working hard at anything that is distasteful to him. It's the worry, the fret ting, that hurts. A man can work too hard in any gambling kind of business. Look at the men in Wall street! That life is sim ply awfuL I don't mean that kind of thing when I say the harder a man works the better off and happier and brighter he is. I mean legitimate work in which a man ac complishes something real, produces some thing of value." WHERE SPEECH IS WHISTLED Oul riace In the World W here I o ii - versalluu Is Carried un la Tbla '). Gomera, I lie sixth in slxe and Importance of the Canaries, generally unknown to tourists, is the only place In the world t where the custom prevails of tulking across tfreat distances by means of the whistling language. Originally ull the Islands knew the art, but in Gomera alone it is nped at the present day. San Sebastian, the tiny poll und capitul, it a desolate apot lying in the mouth cf a huge ravine surrounded by dusty pnl:a trees. Its dark, ugly church is famous us the last building In the old world that Co lumbus inured before he suited av.ay in unknown seas. A vlniyM' exploring the place recenlly fell In with a i. ml' iter who understood he "silvando." Vr whittling lai.guuge. and promised to nl. ou hint what it wa.i aa hooh as they were up among the mountains, where It was used extensively. So they rode uvvay from the swarm of beggars in tiie town up a bridle path thut led through a wilderness of volcanic clefts und gorges. M.'iv were runges of basaltic pillars sur pa.:dnif the Gla it's Causeway, spires ,f black rock erched at incredible ang. Ureal gloomy g,ens in the dark heart of unknown hills, and on the roughest of the rock shelves the candelabrum cactus held out its quaint arms, each holding a crimson star of blossom. The muleteer scanned the slopes right and left, but there was no one In sight. Then he set his two forefingers together at an agle of 45 degrees, pluced them in his mouth, and then what a whistle Issued from his Hps! It seemed impossiblo that anything so shrill and loud could be pro duced without the use of some Instrument. Like an arrow the sound sped Into the distance, over the deep ravines and up the stony terraces into the heart of the hills. They held their breath to listen. Then out of the far distance, from some Invisible being hidden among the heights, came, a very silvery reply, thin as the ghostly shrilling of a bat. The cull had been an swered. The muleteer listened, his head cocked on one side like a fox terrior. When It stopped he went on talking In . whittles, using the echoes of the rocky mountain walls to catch and loss onward his culls with wonderful skill. It seemed to lc a sort of M'lrse whistling cnri elaborated into long rails, short calls, high and low calls, dropping and rising inflections and curiously articulated calls, like a mingling of bird notes and humrnd words. The power of the whistle was marvellous and more wonderful its Intensity and carry ing force. The short sentence with which the muleteer begin wus answered by an other, then another. "I asked. "How are you?' he explained. "They answer. We ure iwo, up in the hills.' 'What are ou doing?' "We are cutting grass.' i replied thai I hud u traveller with nie. Th" y said. "Ask him if he will buy our cow. We will bring It over for him to look at it.' " A cow was not just the sort oi' uuei,ii our traveler wished to take home wiib him. but he said he would buy sonic milk If the cow were bro unlit down.
