Edison and Ericsson Contrasted

THOMAS A. EDISON and John Ericsson, both inventors, the former forty-two years of age, the latter just double that age, are great physical contrasts. Edison never takes any exercise. Ericsson has a gymnasium fitted up in his house and takes regular exercise every day. Edison is almost totally deaf, is pale of face, and stoops. Ericsson has all his organs in their early perfection, is ruddy of face, and straight as an arrow.
