THIRD element IN
The VACUUM TUBE
Grid Added to Fleming Valve by
DR.. Lee DeForest Was a
Big Improvement.

Any device which will pass slectricl-'
ty In one direction and will wholly or
partially obstruct the flow In the op-
posite direction is termed a rectifier,i
because when connected In the path

am tube of today marked a very i'm
portant step In the progress Of the
radio art. The Fleming valve, how
ever, in its original form was not much
better than other forms OF rectifiers
then in use and, owing to the greater
ruggedness and ease of manipulation
of the latter, did not come into gener-
al use as detector.
DIR. Lee DeForest, an American,
greatly improved the Fleming valve
by adding a third electrode called the
grid, which served the function of
control element and thus made 1t pos
sible to utilize the feeble incoming sig
nal currents to control more powerful
local currents. The hree-electrode
vacuum tube of DeForest is the tube
used so extensively today.
The third element which is called u
grid and from which the three-elec
trode vacuum tube derives Its name
The Lamar register., 1922-06-14

was placed by DeForest between the
filament and the plate in the path of
the electrons. The grid Is a perfor
ated plate or mesh of fine wire through
the openings of which the electrons
must pass In their journey from the
filament to the plate.
Fig. VII is a diagrammatical sketch
of the circuits Of three-electrode
vacuum tube and Is identically the
same as the sketch In Fig. III for a
two-element vacuum tube with the ad-
dition of the grid circuit I-J-K-L. The
battery in the grid circuit is called
the "C'' battery.
As q start let US suppose that "C'
battery voltage Is zero. The opera
tion OF the three -electrode tube would
then be exactly like that Of a two-elec-
trode tube, just as though there were
no grid. Like a two-electrode tube
when the hlament CD is brought to
incandescence by the "A" battery a
steady stream Of electrons will be CIV

Steps to Relieve
Cape Verde Islands

Lisbon, April 4.-The Portuguese
government is taking steps to relieve
he economic distress in the Cape
Verde islands which last summer
were famine stricken in consequence
of the drought which had lasted for
thtree years.
The Minister of the Colonies has
instructed Flip Dias de Carvalho, the
new governor of Cape Verde, to un-
dertake an elaborate program of hu-
manitaran relief work. This will
comprise harbor construction work
at st. Vincent and Improvement of
other ports, irrigation of the islands,
establishment of regular steamship
lines between Lisbon, Cape Verde and
Guinea, and erection of wireless
station at st. Vincent
Credits are to be opened for the is
landers to pay for the improvements
for a complete cleansing and disin-
fection and for a thousand tons of
corn lately purchased to feed the
starving inhabitants of the archipela-
go.

Second Expedition Into

district of South America is explor-
ing the region of aestern Brazil in the
interests of the University of Michi-
gan, it is announced by DR.. A. G.
Ruthvcn, director of the University
museum.
The second expedition is being car
ried on by but two white men, Jesse
Williamson of Bluffton, Ind. and Cap
tain John Strom, an army officer sta
toned in the Philippines for some
time and who has had wide expert,
encc in exploration fields.
They are obtaining specimens for
the Michigan museum and also seek
ing data about animals to be found
in the Amazon country that will link
various species of animal life. The
work will continues several months
Another exploration party for the
University has just completed its
work in Brazil and is on the way out
Of that country, DR.. Ruthven is ad
vised.. This group was headed by Dr.
Rusby and is known as the Mulford
exploration. DR.. Rusby some time
ago suffered from an infected tooth
and because of complications was
forced to leave the party and turn
leadership over to DR.. w. M. Mann
assistant curator In the division of
insects of the United States National
Museum
The Mulford Exploration party
has made exhaustive Investigations
N Western Brazil and Bolivia and is
returning with several thousand plant
numbers. A large amount of materi-
al has been shipped to this country
The specimens will go to the Econ
omic Museum of the New York Bo-
tanical Garden and to other institu
tions.
In the entomology branch 100000
specimens have been collected, includ-
ing l25 different species of ants.

In discussing the objects of the

with another. Certain groups fur.

evolution, he pointed out, and the
University is seeking TO trace these
