Courage, Comrade

You cannot always recognize a man of science at first sight. Mr. Robert U. Johnson in Remembered Yesterday tells of hearing an English woman, a writer, say to Nikola Tesla, the brilliant inventor:

"And you, Mr. Tesla, what do you do?"

"Oh, I dabble a little in electricity."

"Indeed! Keep at it and don't be discouraged. You may end by doing something some day."

This is the man who had sold the inventions used at Niagara to the Westinghouse Company for a million dollars and had lived to rue the bargain!
