Dr. D. W. Coolidge, assistant director of a research laboratory, announced a new cathode ray tube that he said had removed hair from an animal and seemingly grown hair of a different color on the same spot, had made cold stone luminous as if heated, and had produced surprising results on gas. Speaking before the Franklin Institute, which gave him a medal, he said he had not tried the tube's rays on humans and had not yet found a practical application for them; an Associated Press representative witnessed a special demonstration.
