And it was our own Edison — the electric wizard, who flung the challenge to the "sable goddess on her ebon throne" and defied the power of her leaden sceptre to hold the night in darkness. But Germany has a civic message for the world, and one it would be well for every nation to heed. It is the systematic, intelligent and laborious application of scientific methods and inventions to the arts and industries, — making two blades of grass grow where but one or none grew before, thus giving employ...ment to her people and wealth to the nation. A few years ago two Americans, Brady and Lovejoy, invented a method by which nitrogen could be taken from the air, since which time this nation has paid to foreign countries millions of dollars for nitrogenous material. The Germans, availing them- selves of the Brady and Lovejoy invention of synthetic produc- tion, take their nitrogen from the air. It is not the inventor who by his genius benefits a nation, but he who makes the in- vention useful to the people.
