A Day with Edison 



/ feel bully today, I slept only 

 four hours last night/^ 



is customary morning greeting of the great inventor after one of the big 

 he delights in, gives an insight into his wonderful recuperative powers, 

 which enable him to "come back" constantly, with undiminished 

 vim and energy, after the most arduous work. 



To realize how fully ]\Ir. Edison hves up to his soubriquet of 

 "the Human Dynamo," you must read the intensely inter- 

 esting account of one of his ordinary days (a mere 

 eighteen hours or so) in 



POPULAR ELECTRICITY 



AND THE 



WORLD'S Advance 



for December 



Mr.W. H. Meadowcroft, the author, has worked for years side 

 by side with the great inventorand enjoys his confidence. He 

 is, therefore, able to give you an intimate view of Mr. Edison 

 through every moment of his long and strenuous day. From 

 the time the great man arises in the morning until he retires, 

 far into the night, 3"0U will follow his goings and comings; be with 

 him in his laboratory', shop and test room; so close that you get a 

 glimpse, even, of his wonderfully interesting mail from all over the 

 civilized world and read the queer and freakish problems pro- 

 pounded to him. With Edison it is half an hour here, twenty 

 minutes there, ten minutes another place, meeting instantly and 

 squarely a staggering number of difficult situations and intricate 

 problems. You will wonder at the many things he does in a day 

 and how he makes every minute and every second count.
