HOW WAS IT INVENTED?
	 Thomas Edison was born in 1847 and died in 1931. Young Tom wasn’t a good student in school, so his mother decided to teach him at home. Tom was a curious boy. He always wanted to know how things worked. Tom tried out his ideas and invented lots of things in his own laboratory. Edison’s most famous invention was the light bulb. At the time, people used gas or oil lamps to light their homes. He worked on his idea a long time. He tried a lot of things that didn’t work. Finally, one day it worked! Today, you can flip a switch and have light any time you want it. Edison also invented the phonograph and the movie camera. When you go to the movies and watch TV, you can thank him for his ideas and hard work. Inventing things was what Edison liked best. He said that invention was “one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration”.

	SEWING MACHINE
A machine that is used for stitching cloth or other material together. The first sewing machine was invented in 1830 by Barthélemy Thimonnier , a tailor, in France. In the United States, Walter Hunt also invented a sewing machine in 1834, but did not patent it. Later, in 1846, the device was improved by another American, Elias Howe, whose business was not successful at first. Isaac M. Singer made small modifications in the machine and patented his improvements in 1851. His business became a success: his company sold 2,564 machines in 1856, and 13,000 in 1860.
