Greatest historical myths-Edison invented the electric light

Edison invented the electric light

Thomas Edison is known as the world’s greatest inventor. His record output - 1,093 patents - still amazes us, over a century later. Astonishing, except for one thing: he didn’t invent most of them. Most Edison inventions were the work of his unsung technicians - and his most famous invention, the electric light, didn’t even belong to his laboratory. Four decades before Edison was born, English scientist Sir Humphry Davy invented arc lighting (using a carbon filament). For many years, numerous innovators would improve on Davy’s model. The only problem: none could glow for more than twelve hours before the filament broke. The achievement of Edison’s lab was to find the right filament that would burn for days on end. A major achievement, but not the first.

Amazing animal-Fat squirrel

While the rest of the squirrels in the garden tend to put a few nuts aside for the winter, this tubby customer clearly believes in eating them all at once. He is a regular visitor to the feeding stations kept well stocked by animal lover James Phelps. Too regular, in fact. Mr Phelps, 51, has seen the fox squirrel, a native of North America, become so overweight that a low-calorie diet would seem to be required.



"He became used to me being around and probably associated me with food,’ he said at his home in Michigan. I would usually feed him myself, but sometimes my wife would help out. She also became fond of him because he’s so cute.'Many mornings he would be waiting for me to bring out the food, lounging on the deck looking into the house. Often he would stand and beg for more."

‘He makes a great subject for photography. He has great expressions, is curious and very smart. He’s the best-fed squirrel in Michigan and I guess that’s the reason he got so big.’

Interesting facts-When the Niagara Falls ran dry

For six months in the summer and autumn of 1969, Niagara’s American Falls were “de-watered”, when the Army Corps of Engineers conducted a survey of the falls’ rock face, concerned that it was becoming destabilized by erosion. During that period, while workers cleaned the former river-bottom and drilled test-cores in search of instabilities, a temporary walkway was installed twenty feet from the edge of the dry falls, and tourists were able to explore this otherwise inaccessible landscape.
