NEW YORK, June 24. Thomas A.
Edison made the first modern incande

a piece of cotton thread. The idea of

by a pal m-leaf fan. Here is his story
of the invention, which created a new
industry and revolutionized the light

we obtained a vacuum pump which

likewise all parts of the system must
be constructed with reference to -all
other parts, since, in one sense, all the
parts form one machine and the con

thing necessary to be done was to
adopt a fundamentally correct system

business here. I refer to. the "pin

proprietors of the sma.ll store often ad

by the firms next door or on the next

business can led oc by j these stcres.

was over his demand that one nail
should equa! two pins In the transac

acme basements and sp.-ire noma and
back vards that there ought to be a
parity. However, the small bey with
access to the nail keg had things his
way fcr a time. He was the only one
in his neighborhood who had access to
any considerable number of nails, and
so be insisted on his demands. He was
a trust all by himself foi a time. He
was the octopus equipped with all its
tentacles. He was the juggernaut,
cruelly crushing the life cut of all
competitors. He was a bloatod bond

soul to save. But his reign was a
short one. Other, small boys w ether
neighborhoods found mines of nail

developed them.. Now nails and pins
