Description

The Story of Great Inventions

The terrific snapping of the electric discharge is heard by one standing near the station, but no light is seen. The strange light given out from the network of wires is invisible to the eye, but is caught by the photographic plate. Great inventions are a never-failing source of interest to all of us, and particularly to the boy in his teens. The dynamo, the electric motor, the telegraph, with and without wires, the telephone, air-ships, and many other inventions excite in him an interest which is deeper than mere curiosity. He wants to know how these things work, and how they were invented. The man is so absorbed in the present that he cares little for the past. Not so with the boy. He cares for the history of inventions, and in this he is wiser than the man, for it is only by a study of its origin and growth that we can understand the larger significance of a great invention. Great inventions have their origin in great discoveries. The story of great inventions, therefore, includes the story of the discoveries out of which they have arisen. The stories of the discoveries and the inventions are inseparable from the lives of the men who made them, and so we must deal with biography, which in itself is of interest to the boy. Such a story is the story of physical science in the service of humanity. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
