TWO explanations. One Is that each
particle of the colloid has a charge of
electricity and each particle is charged
nj the same polarity. Consequently
there Is a constant repulsion between
particles which would cause the move
uent noticed under the microscope.
The second theory is that the liquid
molecules are constantly striking the
coIloid particles. The impact between
the molecules and particles gives the
hotlced particle movement

Every radio fan is well acquainted
with the efficiency of the three-elec-
frode vacuum tube. 1t Is also general
ly known that the disadvantages of
the present-day tube are the frailty of
the flament and the uncertainty of the
vacuum. These two disadvantages
have caused many radio inventors to
attempt the design of some form of
rectifying and simplifying apparatus to
take the place of the present tube.
The results obtained through tire
less research and design have done
much to further dependable radio
transmission and reception. One of
the most interesting of these develop
ments is the use Of colloidal liquids to
replace the vacuum and filament In
tube.
Though this form of rectifier and
amplifier is not developed to an eff
cient stage, and though 1t may never

The heart and substance Of this
tube" Is colloid. Those who have
studied chemistry know that colloid
is compound which, when placed In
a liquid, absorbs that liquid, similar to
a sponge, and the particles of the col
loid are held In suspension by the IL

Odd Things That Happen

two odd things that have recently
happened at sea which must make an
appeal even to dull Imagination.
One was a collision between an air.

curious case of damage to an airplane
rising over the Dorset coast. The
damage was first seen from land and
was notified to the pilot in the sky
by a wireless message. The pilot
was instructed to make for the sea

did, being picked up by rowing boat.

Slight success has been obtained by
using this type of tube" as an oscil-
