Row Edison`.Warked
.And D rested Others
While a tremendous lot that bas
been published and believed about
►Phomas Edison is myth, and while
controversy is ready to break out
whenever one mentions an important
article which he is supposed to have
invented, there is neither myth , nor
controversy about his methods of
work, nor about the fact that he was
a . tremendously -hard worker. If one
declines to give him rank with the
pure scientists of history, it is not
possible to deny him precedence1n the
Tanks of applied scientists. Edison
himself made no such claims as have
been made by his idolators. Once, in
reply to a question by President El-
liot of Harvard, he said modestly and
truthfully: . "I find what the world
needs;' Then I go ahead and try to
invent it." His first important inven-
tion was a voting machine, Int it is
related 'that since it made dishonest
elections impossible. nobody would
buy it. Then and there Edison re-
solved' never to invent anything for
which there was not already a pro-
fitable demand. Toward^the last his
mind turned more and more toward
.chemistry, and it was in this field of
exploration that he probably found his
keenest intellectual delight.
The New York Times has published
lac similes of three of. Edison's time
cards, for the inventok himself, like
everybody else in his employ, punched
a time clock and could show at the
end of the week ja'st how many
hours and minutes he had labored.
The three were taken haphazard out
of a collection in 1912 '.and showed
that one week -,Edison worked 84
hours and 28 minutes; in the second,
111 hours and 48 minutes, and in
the third 112 hours and 'six minutes.
It was not until his inventive
career was more than half .over that
he was able to choose as his helpers
scientifically -trained men. In t h e
earlier days his lieutenants were men
like himself, whose formal education
-was meagre, but who would remain
with one problem until it was solved.
even if it required months. Later on
it became possible for him to take
Then • already trained, and wiLh all the
Knowledge that was then available in
their special field. Under Edison's
.lirection •they would go further. The
experiments of a dozen helpers in
various fields would be ,:pooled, and
then the genius of Edison himself
would trouble the waters, and another
invention would be presented to the
world. '
Another peculiarity about his lab-
oratories was that nobody there was
making, any individual experiments.
Everybody was working for Edison
and `under Edison's explicit direc-
tions. Every day or week as it was
/necessary he would give each of his
assistants written directions. He
would be told what to do,' how to do
it, where to look and what to look for.
'This was a business precaution. It'
saved waste of time and duplicated
effort and no misunderstanding could
arise between the .master and the
lieutenant. Another remarkable fea-
ture about Edison Was his prodigious
Memory. It was one of his chief men-
tal. endowments. It is said that he
'never made the same experiment
twice. He never wasted his time ov-
er something .that thirty years earl-
ier' he had proved was not the road
to his. goal. Similarly he saved his'
lieutenants' time when as often hap-
pened they would propose an experi-
ment as the solution of a particular
problem, and he would be ,Able to tell
there that he had tested the same
iidea a generation earlier. .Only two
men who worked for ham were trust-
ed to make experiments in the vari-
ous sciences in which he roamedhim-
self: These were the brothers, ,Tohn
and Fred Ott. The others were strict-
ly specialists.
For years• it was his practise to
Ulm up at the laboratory at seven
o'clock every morning. He would im-
mediately review, what his assistants
had accomplished during the night
for the nights were few when some-
body was' not working out some of
his ideas. Then be would work by
`himself until noon, when he would

His -mind had,been hovering about
the problem or years, and when
`Mrs. Edison went on a visit of sev-
eral days to Akron, he announced
that the time had come to solve this
perplexing problem. He felt it was
useless to try while • his wife was at
home, .because, solicitous of his health
she would not permit .the long nightly

had carried it..for' a 'week, but the an-

tated to suggest it until nearly every
other experiment had been proved un-
satisfactory.

Dr. Oarl S. Patton, met a farmer
who said he always drank 15 to 20
cups of strcing coffee a day. "But,"
inquired Dr. Patton, "doesn't it keep

gave the reply, "It `helps." — The

A telephone lineman with a broken
leg was taken tp a hospital for treat-
ment. After the leg' had been set,
the nurse asked him how the accident
occurred. Hie replied,:
"You see, ma'am, it was this way.
I was stringing for the company and
I only had one ground mole. He was
up a big come -along, and she was a
heavy one. I was pullin' on her and
-yelled to the mole -to give the guy a
wrap; instead he threw a sag into
her, and that broke my leg."
"Yes," the nurse replied, "but I
don't quite understand."
"Neither do I,"' said the lineman.
"The darn fool must have been crazy."
