consists of a small induction coil
made In the usual manner. A core
consisting OF large number Ol
iron wires Is surrounded with glass
or other insulating material. and
over this are wound few turns of
No. 16 insulated copper wire. The
secondary. consists OF many turns of
No. SO wire, wound over and insu-
lated from the primary. The end
of the secondary are connected to
two small brass balls seperated a
very short distance from each other
When the current Is broken In the
primary a spark occurs. at this gap
An automatic break may be used In
the primary, or the current may be
broken by hand. In both cases a com
denscr or Leyden par should be
bridged across the contact points.
With such coil, giving only one,
eighth-inch spark. the author has
obtained waves that could be de-
tected In any part OF the house. One
side of the spark gap should lie con-
neeted to a single short. bare wire,
which Win serve as the antenna ar

the same room or near by. This will
give free path to the earth.
The receiver also is very slmnle
The mierophone deteetor gives very

to regulate the current.
This comprises the apparatus. The
transmitter may he In one room and

spark at the trensmitter will give
out waves that will traverse the

uted in this country and abroad
The germs of the present exchange
system are evident in the words of the
first secretary. Joseph Henry, who
wrote as early as 1852:
The worth and Importance OF the
institution are not to be estimated by
what 1t accumulates within the walls Of
its building, but by what 1t sends forth
to the world It's great mission is to
facilitate the use OF all the implements
OF research and to diffuse knowledge
which this use may develop. The
Smithsonian publications are sent to
some institutions abroad and to the
majority OF those at home without any
return except. In some cases. that of
cooperation In meteorological and
other observations"
The growth Of the system is shown
in another quotation from Secretary
Henry. This in 1864:

lation is maintained through the me-

he operation of an official exchange
bureau OF this sort gains the benefits
of centralized effort. When boxes and
packages are properly stamped by the
Smithsonian Institution and marked
international exchanges, customs in
spection is waived. For a long time
many steamship lines went so far as to
provide free transportation on all
packages Of Smithsonian exchanges.
Further privileges. such as the waving
OF certain consular fees on bills Of
lading are enjoyed by the exchange
system. making 1t altogether Of great
service not only to the government
which supports it, but to its citizens
as we'll. The government appropria-
tion available for this service during
the present year is $4,000
The idea of an International literary
exchange system is not new. It was
first permanently inaugurated 20 years
ago by NJ Alexander Vattemare of Paris
As early as 1894, however, the Royal
library OF France, authorized by King
Louis XIV, conducted an international
exchange for several years. and the
