NEW CATHODE RAY
TUBE DEVELOPED
Super - Power Three. - in
One Arrangement Has
900,000 Volts Fower
NKW YORK, Feb. lfi. MP)
The possibility of construction of
."app.trattiA which will produce the
beta nnd Riimma ray of radium Is
: held forth by Ir. W. I. Coolidge,
;. assistant director of. the reHcnrch
-.. I.'iburiitory of tin General- Flecirle
.company In iiunminclni; develop
ment of a new super-power cathode
' my lube operating on woo.ooit volts.
The previous limit of pntvpr has
been 300,000.
The announcement was made at
- a meeting of the American Institute.
of etnrtrical engineers whore J)r.
fnolldge received the Kdisori medal
i for bin confcibutlonM in fnenndes

The new tube Is a three-in-onc
arrangement of the 3ft0.00ft voh
cathode ray tube. A cascade r-1
;. ra linemen t expels Ihe electrons ai
the rale of 17"i,i0( miles a second, i
which Ik the fastest man-made J
Keeil ever attained. It Is 300,000
linien faster than the speed of a i
bullet shot from a standard army
; rifle.
"This npenH n vista of alluring.
t vi'leniifb' possibilities," Kuld Hr.
'roolldKO In exjilalnliiK Ihe .ninlH
Kecilnnal principle upon which Uu
new lube' Ik built. lt has' Initia
lized u for yearn lo think that we
could not produce In the laboratory
Just iih high Hpeed electrons iih the
v highest velocity beta rays of radium
nhd Just an penetrating radiations
an t he shortest wave lengt h gn ni-
ma ray's from radluui. According
jto Sir Krnest Rutherford we need
only a little more than twice the
voltage which we have already em
! ployed to ' produce X-ra'H as pene
trating as the most penetrating
gamma rays from radium and about
three million volts to- produce us
high npeed as beta nry."

IT IS an obsti-

acts two ways at once:
(1) Direct to air passages
with its healing vapors released
by body heat;

that orlglnnlly contractu were en

The complaint avers that Ihe
rate fixed by the ordtir In utijUHt

.not a publh! utility and conxc-
ojiently not under the jurlndlction
