TRAINED MINDS NEEDED TO TEST EDISON’S THEORY Inventor Indicates He Is Preparing to Prove Belief, This is the last ot a series of articles explaining’ the belief of Thomas A. Edison that an apparatus may be derieed to receive messages from the dead. / (Copyright, 1925, LEA Service, Inc.) RANGE, N. J., Jan. 22.—T0 Othe lay mind it would appear _____ that to evolve a theory and then to invent a mechanism to fit it would constitute the of the problem. This is not Thomas A. Edison’s view. Very early in his career as an inventor he learned that the production of a workable apparatus may be only a short step indeed toward its successful operation. He recalls that when he was a young telegraph operator in Boston and invented a duplex system that would carry two messages over the same wire at the same time, he spent SBOO of borrowed money to establish a circuit to Rochester, but had to give it up because, in spite of his painstaking instructions, nobody could operate the other end. Also, when the electric light and the system for distributing the current had been perfected, thousands of men had to be technically trained special school before the invention could be made operative. Operator Needed So it readily may be conceived that although Edison may have the right theory and a workable apparatus, etill successful demonstration may be delayed until the passing over of an especially trained operator. f*Ar you training any one to communicate with you from beyond?" the interviewer asked him. Again the enigmatical smile, but no negative shake of the head this time. "When will it be?"

"When It’s done," he answered crisply. "What’s the hurry? I’m .still hearty. There is plenty of time left. I inherit long life. My only time-piece is the task in hand.” He referred to the fact that his grandfather lived 103 years and his greatgrandfather 102. Edison a? 78 has the vigor and rest of prime. Time and genius are his. Edison despises the word "impossible.” He has a fixed habit of expecting “impossible” successes. Not so very long ago it was deemed impossible that a gnat’s footsteps might be audible to the human ear; but the Edison microphone now causes them to clatter like a man’s booted heel, and renders them sharply audible, even to the deaf Edison. Through the Edison electromotograph the ordinary telephone message has been magnified in sound to be heard distinctly a fifth of a mile beyond the receiving end. The telephone both talks and writes, and the telegraph, taps, writes and transmits pictures; while the possibilities of the radio are as yet but faintly sensed. Denies "Impossible'* So how should Edison know the word “impossible?” That evanescent mystery called sound, which especially sought to mock this deaf man, he has trapped by a thousand devices, and turned it into his favorite plaything. It seems possible then—rather, it seems probable, as Edison says it is —that sentiment presences so infinitessimal as to be unseen, unheard, unfelt and generally unsuspected may through mechanical process at thd hands of this wonder-wizard become visible, or audible or otherwise sensed. “It’s not the hidden things that
