Thomas Alva Edison
The American inventor, Thomas Alva Edison, was born in Ohio in 1847.
Tom, or Al, as his family called him, was one of those children who are always asking “Why?” He was always trying to learn how things worked or how they were made. The boy’s education was limited to three months in the public school * of Port Huron, Michigan. He started work at the age of twelve, when a new railway was opened between Port Huron and Detroit. Young Edison began to travel every day on one of the trains. He sold fruit, sweets and cakes to the passengers.
Several years later, Edison learned telegraphy and he became a telegraph operator. He was soon one of the fastest operators in a large telegraph company in Boston. He wanted to improve the telegraph system and worked very hard at it. Night after night he read the “Book of Experiments”, by Michael Faraday, the inventor of the electric generator, in the hope that this would help him to solve his problems.
One of Edison’s greatest inventions was the gramophone, or the “photograph”, as he called it, which repeated his words. He told his assistants that this was only the beginning. The time would come, he said, when his new instrument would record music. “It will play symphonies and whole operas, the world will hear again the great singers who are no longer loving…” Another of Edison’s inventions was the electric lamps. Edison believed that only work could bring success.
He continued active work until only eighteen days before his death in 1931, at the age of eighty-seven.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION.
Environmental pollution is a term that refers to all the ways by which people pollute their surroundings. People dirty the air with gases and smoke, poison the water with chemicals and other substances, and damage the soil with too many fertilizers and pesticides. People also pollute their surroundings in various other ways. They ruin natural beauty by scattering rubbish and litter on the land and in the water. They operate motor vehicles that fill the air with the noise.
Environmental pollution is one of the most serious problems facing humanity today. It causes global warming, destruction of the ozone layer, and other disastrous processes. Air, water, and soil – all harmed by pollution – are necessary to the survival of all living things. Badly polluted air can cause illness, and even death. Polluted water kills fish and other marine life. Pollution of soil reduces the amount of land available for growing crops. Environmental pollution also brings ugliness to our naturally beautiful world.
