NO NEED FOR THE LAUNDRESS.
Mr. Edison has often been credited with inventing tho most extraordinary things, and 110 is sometimes put to 'a great deal of trpublo to disprove the erroneous statements that are made concerning him. Somo time ago an American journal stated that 110 ■ had invented a wonderful shirt which would last a man for twelvo months without requiring to be washed. This shirt, it was stated, was made of 365 layers of material—tho composition of which no ono knew but the inventor—and all tho wearer had to do to restoro it to its original s'potiossness was to tear off one of tho layers, when ho would have practically a new shirt. This announcement was reprinted in various other journals, with tho result that Mr. Edison received thousands of orders for an invention that ho bad nevor ovon dreamed of.
