Edison says he is really 162 years old, because he has done two day’s work every day of his eighty-one years. He did ten thousand years’ work when he changed man’s lighting system from kerosene to electricity. His habit o f working two days in one accounts for the fact that mentally he is forty, not eighty-one. An active mind stays young in man or woman. Women grow old prematurely because badly organized civiliza tion gives them nothing to do ex cept talk and dress when their children are grown.
