its possible relation to existing pa

that patents now held on tubes US

Piiing Crickets

1t is doubtful if anyone who was
fortunate enough to spend the sum-

the extremely large number of
crickets who also chose this city as
the scene of their activities during
the past few weeks.
Many complaints of a private ma
ture were heard about the streets,
daily, almost hourly, but the first
official "kick" was made to city
authorities last night.
A local resident notified police
that somebody has been piling up
dead crickets near his home in
such quantities as to polute the air
and constitute a health menace and
cause of anxiety not only to HIM
self but to the whole neighborhood
as well. He asked for immediate
relief.
The city health department was
notified of the complaint and will
take the matter in hand today, ii

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. IA. =
Immediate development of televis-
ion broadcasting stations and the
establishment Of an entirely new
field of short range r.dio trans
mission IRE forecast today with
announcement of a new. type of
cathode tube, developed in local
wireless laboratories.
Invented by Philo Farnsworth, %
year old "pioneero in the photo
electric and cathode ray field of
television, the tube was given its
first showing last night. ~
Rays from an ordinary incandes-
cent light bulb set in motion the
apparatus used in last nights ex-
pertinent. In daytime, the opera
tors explained, the rays of the sun
would serve similar purpose-that
of self-starter for electrons oper-
ating within the tube.
With the giant tube then placed
into the circuit of a commercial
wireless company, signals were sent
out. calling the distant stations. In
each case, the operators reported
their calls were received. Then
longer messages were sent. Again
the reports came from Manila, Hon.
olulu and New York. through the
wireless concern, that the stations
had received sle broadcasts per-
fectly.
Elated by their success, the asso-
ciates Of young Farnsworth plan
ned at a later date to make tests
\ for transmitting pictures over SIM
liar facilities. They had every
confidence Of success. The eXper-
iments were conducted on a wave
band of 1865 meters.
Tube Different
Termed an "electron multipli-
err by its inventor, the tube diff
fers from all previous tubes used in
radio oscillator work in that it has
no grid or filament Two plates
situated at either end Of a glass
enclosure, are coated with caesium
a photo-sensitive element.
When light rays strike these
plates electronS are discharged
from the caesium-coated plates
These electronS, shooting out with
tremendous speed and force, bounce
back and forth off the plates, all
the time liberating more electrons.
AS the. process continues a por-
ton of the electronic charges are
"drained off, the tube. These
form high frequency waves suitable
for radio and television broadcast
purposes.
Practically no heat is generated
by the tube in normal operation
although the elcctronic action may
be stimulated to such point that
plates at either end of the tube
are melted. Life of the tube was
estimated to be almost indefinite
since there are no parts to disin-
tegrate or become exhausted. Cost
of the device, after initial manu-
facture has been accomplished, was
estimated to be much less thar
that of the present screen-grid ano
filment type of tube.
1t was claimed that the new tube
potentially has 5000 times greater
amplification power than any other
type yet developed. Tubes s,stable
