He was known as the 'boy wonder of electricity," before he was old enough to vote. Often in his early days he endangered his life for the pure joy of working out his ideas. After he had found success and fortune, the irresistible interest of his work kept him at it for long, untiring hours, often for days and nights together without sleep. It was said that Edison kept the path to the patent house hot. Edison had in the United States alone more than a thousand patents. No other man has done half so much to apply scientific discovery to everyday life. Edison will always be famous the world over for his many marvelous achievements in creating machines for the service of mankind. If the devices Edison invented were removed from the world, it would probably seem to us that civilization had slipped back to fifty years ago. Thomas Alva Edison died on October 17, at the age of 84. His death closed the life of one of the most brilliant figures the scientific world has ever known.
