New Tube to Augment
Radio BroadcastinR

Chicago, Sept. 25.-The worlds
largest vacuum tube, standing three
feet in height and three and one-half
inches in diameter at the bottom, has
been completed in the laboratories of
the Western Electric company, Of
ficials announce.
The tube is capable Of supplying
100000 watts, 200 times the power re-
quired for the usual radio broadcast
ing stations of 1O0-mile range.
The difficulty in experiments was
to make the whole tube air-tight and
to get the wires for the filament and
grid into the tube while keeping then,
insulated against about 10000 volts.
After much study the, problem was
narrowed down to finding way to
make an air-tight joint between the
heavy copper tube which forms the
''plate" and the glass OF the upper
part of the tube and to bring the
heavy wires through this glass.
Credit for the answer is due w. G.
Housekeeper, company engineer
who discovered a way to seal copper
to glass which would make an air
tight joint that would crack at any or
dinary working temperature.

Moving Pictures First
Presented 200 Years Ago

London Sept. 25.-The earliest
idea of moving picture was record
ed in the time of CONTIGUOUS, the
Chinese philosopher who lived 500
years before Christ. At least this
is the deduction drawn from his
studies into the question by Will Day,
a well known figure in the English
film world, who has exhibited in Lon.
don a collection of relics and ma
chimes tracing the growth of the NOV
ing picture from the first primitive
idea to its present form.
The shadow shows" of the time
of Confucius are the first of all known
endeavors to present animated pic
lures. From this early time, how
ever, there was long period of in
activity in development, for the next
record of progressive achievement is
found in 1916, when Athanasius Kir.
cher published a book in Latin en-
titled cars Magnalycus ct Umbrae'
in which description and il!ustra-
tlon Is gwen OF a moving picture
which the writer had evolved with
mirrors and tallow candle for H.
luminant.
Included in the, collection is the or
iginal disc which Eadweard Muy-
bridge used to settle the controversy
between two American millionaires
on the Alto Patio race course as to
whether the four feet of a trotting
horse were off the, ground at the same
time.
The experiments which .Muybridge
carried out is said to have cost the
University of Pennsylvania 100000,
but the fact was proved that horse
did actually lift all four feet 81
multaneously.
