ing against this patent the court held
that processes covered were known To
Dr.. Lee De Forest in 1912 and to DR.,
Harold De Forest Arnold of the West
ern Electric Co. prior to its use by
Irving Langmuir. the patentoe and n
research engineer of the General Elec,
trio Co. This patent was granted
October 90. 1925.
The second patent invalidated re
lated TO the use of thoriated tunc
stem as filament wire for radio tubes
the court contending that such mate
rial was COMMON to incandescent
lamps and did not constitute a new
invention when applied to radio tubes
The patent governing the use OF
magnesium to flash radio tubes in
the process Of creating high vacuum
also was ruled against because of its
previous application.
infringement Of two claims on n
fourth patent was allowed. This re
lated TO the use Of potassium in high

FOURTH BRAIN

MOSCOW, Jan. 17-The "brain pantheon" founded by Prof. Vlad- imar Bechtereff, noted Russian Psychiatrist, for the purpose of studying the source of talent and genius soon will have a fourth brain added to the three already preserved-that of Prof Bechter- eff himself.
 The noted scientist. who had been devoting much time in re. cent months to organizing the brain pantheon, which had been approved by the Soviet Govern ment, died recently of paralysis of the heart after short illness
 Prof Bechtereff willed his bra,r for scientific study, and before hie death expressed the wish that lis body be cremated. At the par theon his brain will rest with ths brains of three other noted men which form the nucleus of tn. Museum of Talent"
 The brains already in the col lection are those of Anton Ruben stein, famous pianist and compos- CT, who died in 1894; Dmitri Mem deleff. naturalist and chemist, whose works of periodic law brought him world fame before his death in 1907, and Alexander Kohni, writer, jurist and ranking member of the Academy of Sci ence who died last September.
