Hearing EIectrons.

PY means of the radio vacuum tube
- amplifier, scientists have been
able to hear the noises made by
electrons. the infinitely small units Of
electricity as they are "bombarded
against the plate in the tube from the
hot filament, says Popular Mechanics.
These electrons. it is held. carry the
current and make possible the operation
of the tube, which is capable of ire
mendous application. Through this.
a new way of measuring the value of
the electron charge has been developed
and method of research opened which
may lead to valuable knowledge con-
corning the electron and it's properties
Previously, it has been studied by
means of tiny drops of oil, observing
their movements between two electrical
ly charged plates. Droplets are made
to fall slowly or rapidly or are held
stationary between the plates, accord
ing to the presence of charged cleo
irons in them and the voltage applied
to the plates. With proper amplif1ca-
ton, the roar of the electrons in the
tube can be magnif1ed to produce
volume like that of Niagara, it is said
and this action is to be studied in the
hope that facts not presented in the
gravity tests will be learned.

David's City Found.

p UINS that are believed to have
= been the walls and buildings Of
the City of David have been discov-
cred after extensive excavations in
Palestine under the direction of j.
Garrow Duncan, says Popular Me
chanics. The original Jebusite wall
of the fort, which was standing when
David took it in the year 1000 B. C,
has been traced, it is claimed, and the
cleaning white limestone surface of
a magnificent tower has been ex-
posed to the light of day and is now
visible from all parts of the city The
discovery apparently settles disputes
as to the location or era city, and
seems to prove that the site has been
continuously occupied for more than
5000 years. as some of the pottery
unearthed at Ophel, nearby, is said to
belong to the cave dwelling period
of 5000 r. G. and earlier The PaIes-
tine government has set the wall apart
as national monument, and the
tower is being restored .
