The triode, de Forest's three electrode valve. said Dr Eccles, was surely one of the most valuable gifts in the annals of the Patent Office. In 1912 the in- ventor endeavoured to find busi- ness men in London to exploit the {valve. De Forest could not pay
the renewal fee, and the patent "Me And My Shadow," became the property of the British | “Charmaine,” public. Since 1913 the sale of the valve, which seemed an eg- sential of all modern long-distance wireless systems, both at the transmitting and receiving stations, must have rua into millions.
One conclusion drawn by the lecturer was the rarity: with which inventors foresaw the future of their noveltes, or recognised which part was best worth patenting. Minor improvements often had the greatest value finanically, but it was the early inventions which usually had the best chance of
immortality and indispensability. (Cheers.)
The remaining lectures of the series will be "Atmospherics," by Professor Appleton, and "Pro blems in Valve Manufacture," by Dr. Marris.
Captain C. W. Hume, in moving a vote of thanks, said the chief obstacle to recruiting like theirs waa matrimony; but wives would nd that husbands who escaped from the domestic leash in good company, came back with an en- hanced appreciation of their merits. (Laughter.)

At one o'clock the BB.C. broad- cast the following message: "Will Mr. Herbert Palliser, who is touring South-West England on a Douglas motor-cycle, number" U.L.3292, and who is believed to have visited Shaftesbury and the Eristol district on Monday, com-
municate with his wife, as kis father is dangerously

the use of radio-photography. A large centre of telephone work in Queen Victoria-street is to be pulled down and replaced by a costly, new building, not for any urgent need at the moment, but to provide for large developments in the future. It is common knowledge that during the last five years there has been a great ex- pansion of the telephone service, and we have certainly not reached the end of the period of growth. Trans-Atlantic telephony has only recently become practicable, but it is already so much used that provision must be made for a large increase in the number of conversations. The new building is to serve both these purposes, but more interesting and significant is the part which it is. to play in providing accommoda- tion for the new services of pic ture transmission
