" The other, much chagrined, had to abandon the joke. In this way, by being quicker with his fists, in both the literal and figurative sense, Edison won his fight for the esteem and confidence of his colleagues. Thereupon he 64 THOMAS A. EDISON returned to work with all the greater courage and with that amazing power of endurance which is decidedly one of his most character- istic traits. At night he fulfilled his routine duties, which no longer contained unsolved problems. In the daytime he bu...ried him- self in Faraday's Experimental Researches in Electricity. Faraday, whose works were then far too little known or understood, opened up new horizons. Edison gave him- self up to this line of reading and to his own reflections with such passionate absorption that he forgot to eat, drink or sleep. He said to his friend Adams, who 'roomed ' with him : " Adams, I have so much to do and life is so short ! I am going to hustle ! " Edison's long reflections on scientific pro- blems did not prevent him from living wholly in the midst of reality ; and the reason why he became a devoted admirer of Faraday was precisely because Faraday did not employ the methods of mathematicians, but that of experimenters, which, according to Edison, is the only true one.
