After

In

Feb

1847.
While
many
other
scientific
achievements
were
his,
Mr.
Edison
was
best
known
as
the
Inventor
of
line-HHndesCeht-electric
light
and
gramophone,
and
developer
of
the
moving
and

He
hi'
vented
the
electric
light
at
the
age
of
32
and
the
gramophone
at
41.
He
worked
actively
in
his
laboratories
here
until
a
few
months
ago
when,
following
a
trip
to
Florida,
he
was
seized
with
the
illness
which
was
to
end
in
his
demise.
A
euremic
condition
gradually
permeated
his
system
with
poison.
The
late
Mr.
Edison
took
out
no
less
than
3.600
patents
and
made
millions
of
dollars
from
his
inventions,
spending
much
of
It,

on
protecting
his
patents
from

"Benefactor
of
Mankind"
In
October,
1928,
Thomas
Alva
Edison
was
presented
with
the
gold
medal
of
the
Congress
of
the
United
States,
the
reverse

which
bore
the
InseripUon:
'He
illuminated
the
path
of

by
his
Inventions."
On
that
occasion
President
Coo-Udge
saluted
the
venerable
and
renowned
inventor
thus:
"Noble,
kindly
servant
of
the
United
States
and
benefactor
of
mankind."
These
two
sentences
tell
tersely
and
vividly
what
Mr.
Edison
did.
and
was,
and
encompass
the
achievements
of
one
of
the
moil
useful
and
fruitful
of
American
lives.
For
more
than
50
years
Edison
conceived
ideas
and
then
turned
out
devices
founded
upon
them.
An
invention
was

on
the

of
about

Edison

in

life
of

D,nrin
the

part
of
h
active
life
Mr.
Edison
devoted
him
self
largely
to
inventions
of
an
