SIR WILLIAM BRAGG.

Faraday's work as a basis of wireless formed the subject of a short discourse broadcast by Sir William Bragg, the head of the Royal Institution.

There were, Sir William said, two fundamental elements of wireless apparatus that were particularly Faraday's creation, the inductance and the condenser, while he had laid down the principles of the electric valve, though he never lived to see one.

In the old days of broadcasting Mr. Jeffrey had himself to provide other Jeffrey Farnol play for radio purposes, but lately he has been able to seek the services of well- known authors for the purpose, One of the first plays of 1028 will one by Mr. Temple Thurston called "The Burden of Women," and a little later there will be a second, written jointly by Mr. Jeffrey Farnol and Mr. Jeffrey. a radio "The Amateur Gentleman," version of the famous book.
