MARVELS OF ELECTRICITY AND WON
DERFUL INVENTIONS.
Edisen's Wonderful Inventions at Menlo
Park.
The Divisibility el the Light Clearly Ac
complished. Geerge Alfred Tewnseiul having visited
Edisen at .Mcnle Park with Canadian
ladies, writes a lengthy description of
what lie saw and heard, the material parts
of which are annexed :
'I had net hceu in Menlo Park for four
years, although I lenew Edisen pretty
well. It is about twenty miles from the
city, and when wcget there the landscape
looked like an immense military camp,
some seven or eight miles of electrical
lamps being stretched in Hues ever the
field making net the large, hurtful light
generally sccu in theatres and at political
meetings, but a calm, small, chastened
llame.
I found a great change in Edisen's ap
pearance in four years. I last saw him
here when he had finished the invention
of the phonegr.iph, and was experiment
ing with the telephone. He was then eaie
lcss in his dress, rough and rather com
mon looking. Jle new were the clothing
of a gentleman, and had a hat made te
suit his .large head, with a bread brim,
and his face was fatter, and his eye full of
cheerful humor. He said :
' I have nothing mere te de. I have
ceased my inventions with the perfection
of this light, and Menlo Pari: is te be shut
up in a few days, as 1 am going te work
my stall' in Xew Yerk city, and give my
attention te the business of lighting the
city of New Yerk. The lamp factory a
mile or two from here, which is my own
partnership, is te go ahead, and I shall
keep my family here ; hut my efluie will be
en Filth avenue, where I have a large
house."
Going into his house, the ladies were
overwhelmed with astonishment. The
parlor, halls, staircase and dining room
were lighted with perhaps twenty burners
showing all kinds of varieties of lamp,
from the reflecting shade te the colored
light. Each lamp or burner was about
the size of a small coal oil lamp chimney,
or a long, thin pear. It was an incande
scent white shape of flame, looking a geed
deal like a hair-pin bent in tiie shapj of a
letter Y. Each lamp had the power of
sixteen caudles.
We went up te the factory and were
shown the great new dynamo machine, or
engine, ene hundred horsepower, which is
te be the model of the dynamos used at
Edisen's stations in New Yerk! A man
was soldering it by the aid of the electri
cal spark, the solder being red het, yet
without fire.'"
" At present," said Edisen, ''we have
these old dynamos, which take up tee
much room ; and one machine like this
one will de for a whole station, and will
light half a mile square of solid blocks of
houses from fleer te fleer by the aid of a
small steam engine."
AVe then went into the large laboratory
room, filled with tools, and a number of
the small bulbous lamps were hung en cop
per wires, which was stretched in every
direction. The moment a lamp was lifted
off the wire it went out, and the moment
it was put back lighted up again, with the
same white, pleasing flame. Then turning
a common cock certain of the lights weuM
go out, and turning it en again they would
all start of themselves.
"New go te the window," he said,
"and I will put the lamps' down in the
fields eat for you." These lamps covered
what was equivalent te -l three hundred
acre farm. Turning a certain cock every
one of the lamps went out, and the whole
blazing landscape turned into immediate
darkness. At another movement of the
cocks the lights started again, and wc
could see then with a slight effort struggle
back, and then blaze ever the long fields.
All the machinery in the factory was run
ning by the same electricity, and when all
the lights were turned out all the machin
ery stepped, tee. When the cunent was
turned en and tiie lights went up the
wheels and beltinu all staitcd again. The
surprise of everybody was immense. I
said te Edisen : ' Has net this invention
cost you mere lime than anything you
overdid?'
"Ne, I think I he telephone cost me mere
time than this."
I asked him the question, directly,
whether the telephone had paid him much
and hew much it had paid.
"I get very little in the. United States,"
he said. Mr. Orten was president of the
Western Union company, and drove a
hard bargain with me ; and then the
Western Union company sold its proprie
torship in the telephone. I5ut I have re
ceived from Europe $1500,000, and it will
amount te another $100,000 in a little
while. That money I invested in the lamp
factory, which is independent of the Light
ing Company."
"Is your telephone- in general use?'
"It is in universal use," said he. "It
is combined with the Bell telephone. The
Bell is used for receiving messages, and
the Edisen for transmitting them."
The ladies asked for numerous tests as
the turning out of one light or a dozen
and they were all given. Their being snow
en the ground we could net see much of Edi Edi
eon's electric railroad, which runs up and
down the hills, the rails acting as the wires
te carry the current which drives the cars.
In this feature Henry Villard has taken a
large interest for the purpose of building
a railroad in Oregon without grading, se
as te go riht into the grain fields, even
up the mountain sides, and collect the
crops. General Palmer, of Colerado, also
expects te use this electric railroad for his
heavy grades toward Mexico. The moneyed
power behind Edisen is Drexcl, Morgan
ivLe. iNavarre is also largely liiteicstcd.
Mr. Edisen said in speaking of the Brush
and ether lights : "There is plenty of
field for them. We don't aspire te light
street lamp-, which is a small matter, but
te light houses and homes.
Jehn Shillite and Jehn King, jr., have
purchased the Cincinnati district from this
company. Winslow, Lanier & Ce. have
bought Bosten and Chicago, working in
the latter city through Field, Leiter &
Ce. Rebert Garrett has taken Balti
more. G. P. Lewrcy went out among the men
he knew and raised the ether half of the
capital, Edisen's stock being considered as
fully paid up for the ether half. They
then told Edisen te go en with his sys
tem and get it perfect. His pay-roll has
been $200 a day for some time past, or
$1,400 a week, but neither Edisen nor
his principal staff have received any
salary. Edisen giving this staff some of
his stock aud interesting them with
him.
This parent company does net design te
build the machinery for any place in the
country but New Yerk, which they mean
te light by thirty stations, each covering
half a mile square, and the whole em
bracing all the district below Central
Park. They will sell the right te light
ether cities, and take half the stock in
each company, but requiring no money.
The outside companies will- then receive
all the drawings and specifications, and
get the surveys from the parent con
cern.
There were originally three thousand
shares of the stock of $100 a shares, mak
ing $300,000. On the completion the $1S0,
OOt) which had been advanced was added
te this capital, making at present forty
eight hundred shares at $100 apiece. The
shares have been selling the past two or
three day at $1,500 apiece ; but the
Drexels will net let the stock go en the
stock beard. Edisen wanted $1'2,000 two
months age. and he. sold twelve of his
shares for $1,000 apiece, the only sales he
will make. He has been having two hun
dred empleyes for some time past. Many
of his workmen, particularly in the lamp
factory, have been spirited away by com
petiters ; while a shrewd inventor in Lon Len Lon
eon lias been getting all the patent office
descriptions of his innumerable improve
ments. Edisen and his associates invested $42,
000 in the lamp factory.'as the capatalists
did net want te go into that uiinutiic.
They arc increasing it, tee, te a plant of
$200,000. It is calculated, giving each
lamp a duration of six months, that it will
take a million and a half of lamps a year
for New Yerk city alone when fully
lighted, at thirty-cents apiece. The parent
company pays Edisen for these lamps, and
furnishes them free te consumers. The
New Yerk company covers North and
Seuth America. The patent right for
Europe is owned by Edisen himself, Mr.
Lewery and the Drexels. The capital new
put into ga1? companies ami mts te $00,
000,000 in Londen, $40,00e,00C in Paris,
$20,000,000 in New Yerk and $10,000,000
in Brooklyn.
Edisen was 31 years old en the 11th of
February. His associates say that he will
be the richest of all inventors yet known t;
man. A few mouths age "his Londen
agent brought him out oue check for
$.",000, His business associates say that
his health is perfect and he has net a soli
tary bad habit except smoking tobacco.
They only fear that his indifference te
sleep and habit of lying down anywhere
with a stick of weed under his head, or
nothing at all, and sleeping for hours, may
injure him. He never sits but six minutes
at the table aud never cats but one dish, and
his favorite feed is apple pic and milk. He
told me that without some knowledge and
experience in business the greatest talents
would'ge te waste. "I paid no attention te
my business affairs," he said, "until with
in two years, when I found that everybody
else was growing rich out of me, and
therefore I have paid some attention te
law and te my own concerns."
One of his lawyers told me that Edisen
brought him a paper the ether day, drawn
up for a legal argument se perfect in its
points nnd phraseology that he only had
te cut-it into pieces with a pair of scissors,
redistribute it in different order, point it
up a little, aud it was as geed a legal paper
as he ever saw.
He has been much censured for allowing
a patent medicine bearing his name and
indersement te go around the country. I
understand that it arose in the following
way : He was suffering from neuralgia, or
something of that kind, in his face, anil
made a mixture te cure it, which was a
success. After he became celebrated,
though still peer, a sharp fellow came
along and offered him $15,000 for that re
cipe and a letter, which Edisen, net think
ing, wrote.
Edisen says the only fear he has is that
somebody may make a burning fluid out
of water, or something else cheaper than
electricity. He says that when a gas com
pany has passed into the hands of a re
cciver, and ceases te pay dividends and
only pays for its fuel and labor, he can
still compete and diive thein out of the
market.
The (.'Sirisjmas Card Cempt'Hliflt!.
New Yerk World.
The famous house of Prang & Ce. have
again offered prizes tu the amount of $2,000
for the four bust designs in any medium
for Christmas cards. The distribution
will be as before $1,000 for the first,
$50!) for tlus second, $300 for the third and
$200 for the fourth. The management is
again in the hands of Mi'- K- E; Moere,
and the exhibition will be held at his gal
lery, the American art rooms, en Madisen
squaie, and will commence i:cxt Monday,
though theie will be an exhibition for the
benefit of the press en the picvieus Fri
day. The interest which the public
shewed'in the display of last year was un
expectedly great, and it se reacted upon
the competitors that this year no less than
twenty-live hundred designs have been
sent in, of which from seven hundred te a
thousand will be exhibited. There is
nothing mere surprising than the ex
traordinary talent for decoration which
Americans are all of a sudden displaying,
and these cards testify it with great
force. In all art the designer has te keep
two ideas running in his head at the same
time. In art proper it is subject and
treatment ; in applied art it is subject and
decoration; and in some kinds ;. third
idea has te be kept going, that of matri
rial. Here the last is net necessary, but
decorative ideas arc even mere important
than well chosen or striking subjects.
There are net a few persons who have sent
such lovely little gems of water colors that
they must be professionals perhaps even
members of the Salmagundi, that fertile
nursery of geed designers and geed water
colorists. But they have overleDked the
absolute necessity of marrying their design
te a treatment purely decorative, either
mingling with the subject or partially sep
arated by a border. Se excellent is some
of the fignrc drawing that these humble
designs would net show badly in a water
color exhibition, and as no artist who has
real stuff in him can fail te knew it, there
will be some terribly disappointed people
when the judges have made their decision.
As it is very, probable that the rrang
competition will become a yearly event,
wc venture te suggest te all who have
competed or who feel tempted te compete,
that they will de well te visit the exhibi
tion and study out the things which arc
requisite te success. There are ethers
again who have the decorative spirit and
who have sent lovely things, but who have
ignored the fact that the cards have a dis
tinct purpose and that there must be in the
design a definite bearing upon the great
Christmas festival.
It is unfortunate that two designs which
are very superior in execution aud show
tremendous power are deficient in this es
sential. Wc have, in our hasty glimpse
at the cards as they were being nailed up,
caught sight of these, and CDiiId hardly
fail te recognize the daring American ar
tist who has made his home at Perugia,
and whose pictures of "The Yeung Mar
syas," " The Curaacen Sybil," and "The
Three Phorkideo," have excited se much,
interest and caused se much discussion.
One of his cards represents a nude female
Fortune en a rolling wheel. In the
left hand corner is another wheel whose
I hub is a queer human head. The tire is
inscribed with the legend " Geed luck."
Rays of light burst from behind this
wheel, and pour in a grand flood of lum
inous yellow upon the form of Fortune
and upon the great glebe of the earth upon
which the wheel turns and down en which
Fortune is shewerinc pearls. The earth
is painted in streaks of peculiar but per
fectly harmonious green and blue, and the
flesh tones of the female figure arc geed,
though certainly unconventional. The
face is strong and peculiar, and the hair is
thrown wildly about with artistic aban
don. The readers will observe that this is
perfectly Pagan and that Max Miller with
out the least difficulty would connect it
with the ancient Aryan worship of the
sun. llis second caul represents a beau
tiful lady of the grand Yenetiau type, iu
the attitude of flinging her mantle back
upon her shoulders. A peculiar escutcheon
in the right-hand corner is blazon
ed with " 1SS2," from which we may
conjecture that this is meant for a New
Year's card, mere especially as below is a
legend, "Thy own wish, wish I thee in
every place." There is a border te this
which is very strange nd reminds one of
some of the old Pesaro bacile which levers
filled with sugar plums (net pf Kandi)
and sent en New Year's Day and en her
fete day te the beloved of their hearts.
The delicate but unmeaning scrollwork
behind the head enhances this resemblance
te a Pesaro majolica plate. The readers
el the World will also observe that there
is net a particle of Christmas allusion in
this one either. It is true that Delarue in
Londen has Christmas and New Year's
cards of this nature, without any suggea
tiveness of the season, but they have been
condemned by the geed taste of enr citi
zen?. Anether competitor whom one is forced
te recognize is the gentleman who secured
the second prize la?t year. He presents
three cards for competition, all with the
same motive of decoration. The prevail
ing thought of this designer is a combina
tion of red, black and corn color, the lat
ter predominating, the ether two present
ing themselves as fine lines, the red some
times in tiny masses. The flesh tones of
the figures in the centre are se nearly of
the same color that there is a remarkable
homegencousness in these cards net te
be found elsewhere, stamping the artist
as a man of no mean powers, able te
wed subject and decorative treat
ment with singular force and felicity.
The motive of the border is iu all three
Arabesque, but in one this is modified by
the introduction of figures in fine outlines.
This card represents two lovely child
angels supporting the child Christ, from
whose head beams a glory in the shape of
a cress. One of the figures in the border
is a Majiau with a box : the ether is a
shepherd. Anether of his cards repres
ents a beautiful mother about thirty years
of age reaching up te fix an ornament en
a Christmas tree. The third represents a
little boy aud giil in somewhat classical
costume, but with lovely faces. He has
thrown his arm around her neck, and she
is examining the contents of a box which
we hope contains taffy, but which leeks
as if it held jewels. Anether competitor
has only one card, apparently, but that is
a marval of originality and beauty. The
border is net connected with the subject,
which represents three angels of very grace
ful female form in long flowing tunics,
with peacock wings and loosely flowing
hair. They arc bleiug trumpets se vig
orously that their faces aic almost com
pletely hidden. One half of the border is
occupied by letters that have the appear
ance of leather aud giving this legend,
" Shout with joy, ye 'mortals, pray ; for
Christ is born en Christmas day." The
verification is net quite equal te the de
mands of modern criticism, but has the
archaic charm that attaches te the proper?
ty of Stcrnheld and Hepkins. The ether
half of the border is filled up by rosettes
resembling stamped and colored leather,
the colors are bright and transparent and
are arranged in curves starting from the
centre. This is very effective and reminds
one net a little of the perforated ware of
Dresden, which may perhaps have furnish
ed the hint te the artist. In the right
hand corner instead of rosettes there arc
circles with beautiful cherub heads. This
smacks rather of Japanese feeding in dee dee dee
oratien, though it is very far from being
imitative of Japanese art.
The beautiful things are endless. Seme
represent actually medhuval spray-work
iu illuminations ; one gives the beautiful
head of a child in the most exquisite of
night caps, posed in a blue circle which
isolates it iu the Japanese way, while
above, old Santa Clans is driving ever the
snow-covered reef; another gives a lovely
child iu a led heed clasping a Bible in
which is a sprig of holly, and behind her
a little landscape ; another shows in water
color a mother arranging a Christmas tree
close te the cot of a sleeping golden-haired
youngster ; another represents a winged
cherub, very rosy and plump, hugging two
obese owls of enormous dimensions ; an
other gives two frogs admirably painted in
very liquid water with superb foliage
above, and the legend, "We twa h.ie pad
dled in the burn fra simmer daun till
dine." This,, it must be confessed, is
mere comic than Christmas-like. But
the pearl of of the funny one is a fat little
giri with absolutely no clothing save a
fashionable fur hat, a pair of red socks
tipped with fur" and a large sable mull.
She leads a haie by a blue silk string, and
thus addresses an owl perched en a snow
laden branch :
