THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MARCH 25. 1917. 10 A EDISON BECOMES WIZARD OF THE AGE Invents Electric Light After He Stubs His Toe on a Dark Crossing. law or snuff recited , By A. R. GROH. From Mrs. Gladys Matoush, 556 Meredith avenue, Gregory, S. D.t comes a request that I write up Thomas A. Edison, his early life and scientific achievements." 'I am glad to get this request and shall direct upon Mr. Edison the searchlight of my wisdom. 1 Thomas Alva Edison was born in 1847 in Ohio, U. S. A. While he was a small boy people did not know that some day he would become the great est inventor in the world. One sum mer evening, while out walking, he came to a dusty place at a crossing and. as it was dark, he got his shoes all dusty. . ' , The boy decided then that some day. he would invent the electric ll8Timelwent on. He finally got a job as newsboy on the Grand Trunk railway and before long he was a telegraph operator. He invented ' things that saved the telegraph com panies millions of dollars and every once in a while they would raise his pay $5 a month. Becomes a Wizard. ; Soon he started out in business for himself as an inventor and rapidly became the great "wizard" that he is todav. We could never hear "Cohen at the Telephone" or the Fifteenth Bulgarian Rhapsody in B or any of the other classics on the phonograph if Edison had remained telegraph operator, fo he invented the phono grapht He also invented the in candescent light. I saw Mr. Edison once. However, I do not think he remembers me. Tt was in a large crowd of about 10,000 people and he may ot even have tern me. If you should desire a fuller biography of Mr. Edison you may be able to find it at the library. .A great legal question is presented for my decision by John Klaseus, Creighton law student, who ad dresses me as "America's greatest phrenologist" and says h would ap point me judge if he had the ap pointive power. "Your first ease," he writes, "will be to decide the legality of a law which 'forbids the importation, sell ing of giving away of snuff or any of Its substitutes.' " , . I Wants the Law. He further Informs me that I will find a case of this in 144 Northwest ern Reporter, page 661, at -the Doug las county law library. All right, John, call the court to order, f have looked up the case you mention. State vs. Olson. This case has to do with a South Dakota law and it defines Snuff as "any tobacco that has been fermented, dried, fla vored, pulveriied, cut, scented or Otherwise treated." '- ' ' ' ' ' In view of this, of course, and bas ing my construction of the "quid" pro nullus a priori and taking into consideration the court's decision in the similar case of State vs. Schnit telbaumer (171 Illinois Territory, page, 3,694), as well as the case hav ing similar bearing though Somewhat more t pluribus unum and therefore ex , parte vobiscum, State vs. Srbjrinklvetmotski (974 Oregon, page 1,753), the court holds that snuff, being tobacco non vult and the statute in this case providing that if not it should stand semper idem, the court so decides, fixing the costs on the plaintiff. Remember also, John, that you can be an upright man and good citizen even though you are a lawyer. Yes, indeed. . ' Two Autos Collide On ' ' North Side Boulevard Three young men of prominent families in a racing automobile mirac ulously escaped injury when the car they were in was rammed on the side and turned completely over by an other high powered car on the Flor ence boulevard at Boyd street shortly after midnight. The occupant, of the overturned car were Dr. James O'Neil, 2607 Bristol street; Albert Meneray, secretary-treasurer of the Omaha Nursery company, and T. Iforris of Benson.- A. L. Rose was the driver and only occupant of the other car. According to Dr. O'Neil, both cars were going at a moderate rate of speed north on the boulevard. Rose was in the lead. Suddently Rose turned off to the left and .'. other car, in trying to veer out of the path, was struck squarely on the side, turn ing completely over. The windshields of both cars were completely mashed and both cars wrecked. Outside of a bad shaking up, the occup. tits of neither car receive! a scratch. The overturned car belong to Albert Meneray.

NOTHING TO DO BUT LOAF (Correepondenc. of The AeeoclateS Preae.) On Board the Abbasieh, Off Pi raeus, Greece, Feb. 20, The Abba sieh is the ship which, since Decem ber 15, has housed alt the entente le gations accredited to King Constan tine, save the Italian mission. A small boat, once a tacht, it is a far from comfortable dwelling for so many diplomatists and their families. The various cabins have signs on them indicating that one or the other is the British, French, Serbian, Bel gian, Russian or Roumanian lcga tipn. The main saloon at meal times is a common dining room as interna tional in character as that of any Swiss hotel in the tourist season. By dint of Ions, enforced residence at close quarters, some of the little nice ties ot lite have gone Dy tne poarn. French, the common diplomatic tongue, is here solely the language of the French. Each group sticks together and converses in us native speech, save at .the formal confer ee's. . , ; ,.a Reading a Thankless Task, After the common -breakfast, the tables are cleared and the reading of the Athenian morning papers is the order of the day a task usually falling to Mr. Filidor, the Roumanian minister, the readiest translator from Greek. The task is' rather a thank less one, as the Athenian newspapers have little good to say oi the entente powers these days of blockade.

The news of the day digested, there is the first conference and discussion on the day's program. Once the conference adjourned, the legations separate, each to occupy a set of tables of its own for its work when there is any to do. , The British and French legations are the busy ones. The Roumanian minister, almost entirely cut off from his government, of whose seat he is never quite sure, is a forlorn fig ure, pacing the deck while his col leagues labor. The Russian minister is somewhat busier, especially since he acts as his own cook. The Serbian minister disappears frequently, quietly slipping ashore and making his way to Athens, to return only late in the evening, spending the night aboard as a pure matter of form. Runs His Own Typewriter. At one table Sir Francis Elliot, the British minister in shirt sleeves is tapping the typewriter himself, at another one of his secretaries is lost among the maze of papers that with every roll of the ship slip to the floor. Nearby at another table two other British secretaries are playing chess. In a corner four of the diplo matic ladies have organized a day long game of bridge. The Belgian charge watches the bridge, sadly, his thoughts far away on the sand dunes that are all that remains of his native land. On the opposite side of the cabin, Jean Guillemin, the French minister holds sway. Nervous and restless, he is constantly up and down, rushing back and forth from his cabin or breaking in on his British colleague who listens to comment or discussion impassive, returning to poking one finger of each hand at the typewriter keys when the storm has passed. Cap tain de Roquefeuille, the French naval attache, hurries in with the latest re ports from the Athenian cafes, filled with the lurid color characteristic of the Orient.

' Invention by Which the Blind Are Able to Read Correapondence of The AMOcl&ted Prew.) London, March 6. At the Roetgen Ray society's February meeting Prof. Fournier d'Albe demonstrated an in strument whereby, with . practice, blind persons are enabled to read ordinary print by sound. The instru ment depends upon an application of selenium, and is a development of an instrument which Prof. d'Albe used four years ago to enable sightless persons to locate bright lights or brightly luminous patches by means of the ear and to discover shadows intercepting the light. In this case the light shining upon the silenium arms of the machine caused certain in terruptions or changes in the electric current passing through them, which were translated into sounds by means of a telephonic contrivance. The later apparatus is a more delicate adaption of the same idea. A small, revolving perforated disk is illuminated by a half-watt lamp, and the image of a line of luminous dots, furnished by the rvovling disk, is projected upon the type to be read. The light thus reflected from the type is passed to a set of silenium bridges conncted by a telephone relay, and sound corresponding to the various letters of the type are carried to the receiver. Each letver of the printed matter, as it passes over the small aperture in the slab, gives a different sound effect from any other latter, and with practice a blind person can recognize these distinctive sounds. This sound alphabet, of course, has to be learned, but with practice the line of type can be moved across the aperture at the rate of several words a minute, and the sense becomes in telligible to the reader, or hearer. noni smw i .. - another H ton. down .n Intlorlou. d..

Russia Will Become Definite Force in War, Says Milukoff . London, March 26. Foreign Min ister Milukoff has outlined the atti tude of the new Russian government in foreign affairs to a number of Pe- trograd and Moscow journalists. A Reuter dispatch from Petrograd quotes the foreign minister as say ing: "We shall remain faithful to all past alliances similar to that with our al lies, which would still further be strengthened and become still more cordial and sincere. The change in regime will disperse the distrust our allies had a right to feel toward the late government It is Russia's duty to continue the struggle brilliantly, both for its own liberty and that of all Europe. "By the change in regime we defi nitely won the sympathy of neutrals, especially Sweden, while Finland, thanks to the restoration ot its con stitution, has become our sincere friend. Our allies came into touch with the new regime without an in stant's delay, understanding that the old regime was a religious hindrance to that organization of the Russian people which is necessary for a final triumph. "Todav Russia is no longer a dead w;ight in the coalition of allies. It is a productive force. Henceforth all rumors of a separate peace must van ish once for all. It would be anti national for freed Russia to come to an understanding with reactionary Germany." Persistent Advertising Is the Road to Success.
