VAGARiES OF VACUUM TUBE
Light and Sound Emitted In a Mystic
riouS Manner.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Following
the announcement in London a few
days ago that an English experiment
ter found that his vacuum tube emit
ted light for days after it had been dis
connected from his battery, w. j.
Hammer, an electrical engineering ex-
pert of this city, declared last night
that he had obtained sounds from a
vacuum tube in much the same way.
In his laboratory in the presence
Of former Assistant Attorney General
James NJ. Beck, and several other per-
sonal friends, Mr.. Hammer set his au-
tomato music box at work. For five
minutes at q time a low mummuring
sound like \ on the musical scale came
from a big vacuum tube that had been
disconnected from the induction coil
and laid on pasteboard box filled with
excelsior. If one of the auditors spoke
the sound ran up into the treble, but
soon sank to its regular rhythm. The
cause is a mystery
