the amateur. In cases where the ac-
lions of the tube are NOT understood

frightened people.

ated for the first time. The tubes had

sounds. The embryo enthusiast who
looked upon the audion tube as an
electric light, thought it was going to
explode. He jumped away from the
instrument and out of the ROOM, and
did not venture nea it for severn
hours, and then only after reaching
