Thomas Edison
Thomas Edison was a famous American scientist. He was born in 1847. When he was a child, he liked to find out how things worked. He was in school for only three months. He asked his teacher a lot of strange questions. Most of them had nothing to do with his lessons. The teacher thought the boy was not bright and was not worth teaching. When he told this to Edison?s mother,she took her son out of school. As she had been a teacher,she taught him herself. The boy read a lot. Soon he became very interested in science. At the age of ten, Edison had already built a chemistry lab for himself. Ever since then, he never stopped searching for new and better ways to do things.
Thomas Edison was born on February 11, 1847 and died on October 18, 1931. He was an inventor and businessman who developed many important devices.
"The Wizard of Menlo Park" was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production to the process of invention.
In 1880 Edison founded the journal Science, which in 1900 became the journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Edison is considered one of the most prolific inventors, holding a record 1,093 patents in his name.
Most of these inventions were not completely original but improvements of earlier patents, and were actually works of his numerous employees.
Edison was frequently criticized for not sharing the credit.
Nevertheless, Edison received patents worldwide, including the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Edison started the Motion Picture Patents Company, which was a conglomerate of nine major film studios

托马斯·阿尔瓦·爱迪生(Thomas Alva Edison) <1847-1931>
Thomas Alva Edison was a man of wonderful ability who had the good luck to be born at a good time. In the period just after the American Civil War the United States was growing conditions were right for the talents of a man like Edison.
The Edison family had come to the United States from Holland in the early part of the l8th century． Thomas Alva the youngest of Samuel's seven children was born in 1847.
Thomas was an unusually curious child． Even at an early age he loved to read and make experiments． Because he was so dreamy and quiet a teacher once accused him of being stupid． Thomas's mother was so displeased by this remark that she took her son out of school and never sent him back. She took charge of his education herself and taught him reading history science and philosophy． Edison was a very quick reader and he remembered everything． Once he got the idea of starting at the first shelf of a large library and reading everything in it． But after reading through fifteen feet of books he gave up this ambition.
In order to earn money for books and for his scientific experiments Thomas sold vegetables from the family garden. This work did not bring in enough money and so he began to sell newspapers and candy on a train that ran between Port HuronMichigan and Detroit． Because people were so eager for the latest news about the CiviI War which was then at its height Thomas decided in February 1862 when he was fifteen years old to print a newspaper of his own the Weekly Herald, in a baggage car of the train where he worked．In four years he earned two thousand dollars from thisbusiness.
While he worked on the train young Edison continued to experiment setting up a laboratory in the baggage car. One day a stick of phosphorus feIl to the floor and set thecar on fire． The conductor of the train as so angry that he threw Tom and all his equipment off the train at the next station； he also struck Tom causing a permanent injury which later made him deaf in the right ear.
One day not long after he had started his newspaper, EdiSon saw a child playing on the tracks in front of a train. He jumped off the station platform and snatched the child from the wheels of the train. The father who happened to be the stationmaster was so grateful that he offered to teach Tom to become a telegraph operator．He gave him lessons four days a week after the station had closed for the nightand in three weeks Edison was a better telegrapher than his teacher.
Edison was sober and independent for his age, but hen was restless and very careless in his dress． He began to wander from city to city and from job to job． Because his ideas were too strange to please the men who hired him,they often asked him to leave． During this time, he worked in Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Memphis, and Louisville．
Edison went to Boston's where he had been promised work as adegraph operator, mainly because of the neat handwriting in his letter of application, When heappeared in that city, he looked so untidy and strange that the superintendent asked him to return later in the day to take a test in telegraphy, with ihe idea of making ihe test so diffcult that the young man could not possibly pass it, As the rapid message came in, Edison realized clerks in the station were playing a joke on him. They had arranged for the new York operator to send him a message, faster and faster,in an effort to make Edison admit that he could not write it down at such a rapid pace, But Edison was not discouraged. He decided to outwit these fellows, and he began to send a message himself. He said to the New York operator,“Come on, don't go to sleep．Get busy! That ended the joke, and Edison won his job, as weil as the title of fastest telegraph operator in the Western Union Company.
In 1869 he borrowed some money and went to New York． During the first three years he spent there, he nearly died of starvation. He slept in a room belonging to a company that sent information on stock prices to the business houses of New York． One day the machine that printed news about gold stopped． Six hundred banks and business houses were without information about what was being bought and sold that day. Edison succeeded in repairing the machine, and he was then offered a job as manager for $300 a month． He was soon hard at work making improvements in the machine and inventing new parts． His Universal Printer, invented at this time, printed full information about gold prices, instead of showing them only by a few letters and numbers． This was his first big success． GeneraI Marshall Lefferts, president of the Gold and Stock Telegraph Company, bought this and several other inventions of Edison's for forty thousand dollars.
Edison then put his new money to work． He opened a factory in Newark,New Jersey． Soon he had over one hundred and fifty men building machines to record stock prices, while he himself continued to work on new ideas. At one time, he had forty-five separate inventions in his laboratory, including several important improvements of the telegrilph. He invented a way of sending two messages at the same time in opposite directions, and then a way of sending two messages at the same time in the same direction,In 1874 he invented and sold to Western Union a system by which four messages could be sent over one wire at the same time, two in each direction. He also perfected a new system for sending telegrams. These inventions saved Western Union milhons of dollars in the cost of wires and telegraph poles alone.
Western Union then suggested to Edison that he try to develop a commercially useful telephone, Alexander Graham Bell had already patented the te1ephone, but Bell's telephone could be heard only over short distances． Edison added several improvements, which were adopted, and are still used in the telephone today． Western Union paid Edison one hundred thousand dollars for his inventions.
In l876 he built a workshop and laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey． He was known after that as he Wizard of Menlo Park,because of the wonderful discoveries he made there, He began to study the attempts of other men to invent an incandescent electric light． He tried over and over again to make a soft light that would be suitab1e for use in private houses． He tested over two thousand materials before discovering one that would work． He needed something that would become hot and give off light when electricity passed through it in a glass container from which the air had been removed． He spent a hundred thousand dollars searching for the best material． Men were sent to India, China, Brazil, and finally, Japan, where a material was finally found.
In Jalluary,1880, the electric light was patented.
