THOMAS A. EDISON.
Wizard of Electric Invention. Who Has
Done Great Things for Humanity.
1'nlted States will pay homage during the
week of May 23, when '"Edison flay" will
be celebrated ire this city.
Representatives of a business which rep
reHents over $6,000,009,000 total Investment
will be gathered here from all over the
country to attend the twenty-fifth annual
convention of the National Electric Light
association, and one day of the session
will be set aside In honor of Thomas A.
Edison, foremost of the group of Inventors
whose genius created the buslneas.
To the laity of the world the old wizard
Is a very great man. to the men who have
their money Invested in the electrical field
and to the members of the electrical pro
fession he is little sUort oi a deity. ,
In connection with the convention here
there will be a costly exhibit at the great
Coliseum hall, designed to show the ad
vance of the last thirty year along lines
opened by the Inventors, and this exhibi
tion will prove that the greatest propor
tion of the work, of progress In the eleo
trlcal field la ' directly traceable to the
rrarvelous Intellect and hands of Thomas
A. Edleon.
According to Frank W. Frueauff of New
l'ork. ' the young westerner, whose ex
traordinary rise In a few short yeara can
attracted wide attention In the electrical
world and who la president of the National
Blectrlc Light association, there are now
about 6,000 central electric lighting stations
in the United States. Of thla number over
8,000 of the companies engaged in central
station work are also in the electrical sup
ply business, a business that twenty-five
or thirty yeara ago could, have been enu
merated In two figures,
The central station, companies of the
country have an Investment of 11,250,000,000,
according to Frueauff. They have a gross
income of upward of 1250,000,000 a year, and
they develop somewhere between 2,0U0,0U9
horsepower and 2,600,000 horsepower. .
There is a track mileage of electric and
lnterurban railways of 40,217 miles, using
82.216 cars, and representing capital lia
bilities of 4,E6i.O00,0OO. I
And this gigantic Investment was made
possible by Thomas A, Edison and his fellow-inventors.
The history of the electrical Industry Is

"No man can nay today what will be
dxne wltlt eUctrlclty tomorrow," Is a
favorite saying which Is constantly being
ixt)ipl!fled.
"The central west must lie given credit
for the first commercial Incandescent light
ing distribution system," declares President
Frueauff. "Appleton, Wis., is tlH plac.
In 18k2 a ornlrai station for Incandescent
lighting was put In operation in New York,
but about the same time there was a small
plant started at Appleton. It was small,
and cwuld be easily operated, and fur that
reason It is likely that the Appleton plant
started brfore the New York plant, which
was located on Pearl street. Just south
of Fulton street.
"Soon after these plants opened for busi
ness, there were plants established in Lon
don, for exhibition purposes, and in San
tiago, Chile and Milan, Italy.
"Frank Bprague made the first eerloui
effort at electric railway work in this
country In 1SPJ, when he started bis electric
road at Richmond, Va. That same year the
first central station was established In
Chicago. Kdlson had built and experi
mented with a little electric road at Menlo
Park, but Sprague'e line was the first for
commercial purposes. Htephen D. Fteld
has also done some work In connection
with electric railways prior to the Rich
mond road.
"Elihu Thompson, Mr. Crush of Cleve
land, Prof. Houston and a few others were
engaged In the scries arc lighting business
back in 1SS79, but that was the only electric
light service Uiat this country knew any
thing about, although in 178 Edison's ex
periments with an Incandescent lighting
problem were first discussed In the news
papers. That talk brought about an ex
traordinary fall in the price of gas shares.
'Edison made his fti-et demonstration at
Menlo lark of his paper carbon lamp a
year later, but not until the summer of 1SS0
did these experimental lamps find .their
way outside of Ms laboratory. In l$4l the
newspapers were arguing the question us
to whether the great Inventor had suc
ceeded In subdividing the electric light, or
whether he was simply talking.
"The alternating system came Into gen
eral use about 1886, and prior to that time
Edison's three-wire system waa introduced,
and the amount of copper necessary for
the direct current aystetn was cut down
about 60 per cent, lending a great impetus
to the electric lighting business. Then es
tablishments for the ale of apparatus
commenced to appear over the country.
"However, thirty years ago the only
material In the electrical supply line sold
was the telegraph and house bell work.
There were three supply houses In New
Tork, Ttllotson, Bunnell, acf Charles T.
Chester; the Western Electric company of
Chicago, Partrlck and Carter ,of Philadel
phia, Watts of Baltimore, Buell of Cleve
land, and Charles Williams, Jr., of Boston,
afterwards taken Into the Western Electric
company. E. T. CHUland bad a supply

trlcal supply business Is of national Im
portance. "In 187 the first miniature electric rail
way carrying passengers was put In opera
tion by Siemens and Halske at the Berlin
exposition. It was merely an exhibition
pMut, and not until two years later was a
commercial road put in operation in Europe
a mile and a half affair outside of Ber
lin. About the same time of the Berlin
exhibition a similar exhibition of u minia
ture rulioad was made at Chicago on the
lake front In the old Exposition building,
of a little circular railroad, but not Jo
carry passengers.
"Progress cuma rapidly, 'but not until
181 wan there an official designation of
(he electrical units and it was at the Paris
exposition of lSfcl that the ohm, the volt,
ampere and the coulomb were first author
itatively defined.
"it was'ln this same year that the first
box of electrical energy, storage battery
of today, was carried from Paris to Glas
gow by Sir William Thompson, afterwards
Lord Kelvin. It waa one of the first stor
age batteries and waa made by Camllle
Faure. It was years afterwards before
the Faure cell came Into general use.
li l&mi Tenia also contributed very ma
terially to the development of the alter-
ptlng side of the business through his
polyphase-current inventions, which form
the bases largely of the alternating dynamos
and motors of today.
"The first electrie power transmission
was in lsW, being a system laid out In
a small town in Colorado, where It con
liected with a mine. The next milestone In
the progress of the electric lighting art was
at the Chicago World's fair in 1M3. where
there was, above everything else, an elec
trlcal display. One finds that there they
got back to the direct-connected dynamos,
using marine types of engines for the pur
pose, ana a ooupie or these engines are
still In use at the Harrison street station
of the Commonwealth Edison company In
Chicago.
"The X-rays were discovered by Roent
gen In la, and lu the same year Marounl
-v i 1
, . A
s- -J
effected communication by wireless teleg
raphy In Italy for the first time. Wince
then the progress has been marvelous. The
first large American steam-turbine unit
started In Chicago In 1903. It had met with
tndYe or less success In Europe, but the
large use, or'rather the use of large units
as they are now understood In the central
stations; of today, where units running up
to as high as 22,000 horsepower are used,
dates ai recently as October 2. 1908. when
first, unit wss started in the Flsk slreet
station of the Commonwealth Edison."
The progress of the telephone Is cited by
Frueswff as one of the most noteworthy
advanoes tn electrical progress of the past
thirty yesrs.
"Beginning with ths Centennial exposi
tion of U76, when Alexander Graham Bell
exhtblted tils Instrument which carried the
voice over a wire, the advance has been
constant and amaslng," he said- "Today
there are t.OOO.OOt telephones In use In this
country and the amount inverted In ex
changes and lines Is around t"JO,000,000. The
Investment is growing heavier as Improve
ments come In.
"Telegraphy has kept pace, too. Thirty
years ago It cost $1.15 to telegraph ten
words from New fork to Chicago and to
for the same number of words sent from
Chicago to San Francisco. Compare this
with the new nlRht rate of the telegraph
companies for fifty words to any part of
the United States."
Frueauff believes that the exhibit at the
Si. Louis convention, showing the various
periods of development In the electrical
field will be the moat costly ever gathered
together in the United StateB.
MOTOR VEHICLES IN NEW YORK
Ilunilred Thoonand Cars Licensed la
the Ruin I re State.
The issuance of the one hundred thou
sandth automobile license at Albany fur
nishes a new standard with which to
measure the extraordinary Increase of
motor vehicles in New York. According
to Secretary of State Koenlg. the dally
average, of applications for licenses ex
ceeds 260, most of which come from Man
hattan! and Brooklyn. On the basis of an
average valuation of $1,000 the cars li
censed represent a weekly Investment of
$1,500,000.
The figures merely serve to corroborate
the results of every-day observation. The
multiplicity of taxlcabs alone, to cite only
one phase of the Increase of power vehi
cles, has been phenomenal. The statistics
serve in particular to show how rapidly
the elimination of the horse by the gas
engine Is progressing, at least as respects
pleasure or passeriger vehicles. How horse
traction elsewhere is suffering from the
competition of power cars is seen In Lon
don, where, according to the statement of
Sir Johnl Macdonald before the Royal Au
tomobile club, only 110,000 horses survive
of the 450.000 quartered in that city in 1900.
On the streets of New Tork hansom cabs
aro now conspicuous by their rarity.
Secretary Koenlg notes a remarkable In
crease in the number of "poor men's cars''
registered, and the fact Is suggestive both
as an index oi prosperity and, in Its rela
tion to the higher scale of living. An in
vestment of $1,600,000 a week in automo
biles is at the rate of $TS, 000,000 a year.
To this first cost must be added the outgo
for repairs, running expenses, chauffeurs'
wages, automobile haberdashery and the
minor accessories of equipment clocks,
speedometers, etc., together with the
amount disbursed in road-house suppers
and other forms of touring hospitality.
The grand total cannot be even approxi
mately estimated. But that it has Involved
the diversion of an Immense aggregate
sum from former channels of expenditure
Is without question. It Is not assumed
that the grocer and butcher have suffered,
but there is no doubt that some compen
sating economies have been necessitated of
which dealers feel the effects.

mechanical repairs of $130.21, averaging 69 cents
for the season's running, or less than 16 cents
for each thousand miles of travel.

lished In New York showing that 75 Cadil
la "Thirty" users hsd driven their oars
an aggregate of 398.884 miles to a total ex
pense for niechanioal repairs of 150.21, aver
aging 71 cents per car for the season, the
record waa ao amaslng that it at ones
became one of tha foremost topics of dis
cussion in the world of motoring.
In a few weeks following that announce
ment cams the report of a second and
even more remarkable set of figures from
the fifty users of the l!Kfl tnodel Cadillac
"Thirty" in Davton.' Ohio, who drove their
cars an aggregate of 168,581) miles at a
total cost of only fa.ll. or an average oi
but 12 cents per car for tha season.
And now comes a third report, which,
while not quite equaling the first two In
the low cost of repair expense, is still suf
ficiently low to confirm the aoeuracy of
those former reports and at the same
time it brings the average expense of the
three groups of owners below the average
of the first group.
This third report comes from the 6 users
of the liKW Cadillac "Thirty" In Indianap

of ths entire 6S owners, 53 had no expense
