A TALK WITH EDISON,

ABOUT THE FUTURE OF FLYING MACHINES.

AMAZING TALES OF SOME OF HIS INVENTIONS

A fascinating interview with Edison, the great America inventor, appears in Munery Magasing for July. Sixty-four years of ag and still hard at work, Edison has crowded into his life a unique record of public utility and invention. Here is the way in which experi- mants with the telephone led him to the inven tion of the phonograph
