Russia was again threatened by the

Beginning OF The Romanoffs.
Finally Mikhail Romanoff. the six
teen-year-old son of the metropolitan
Philaret, was elected Gear. He was
the beginning of the present Romanoff
dynasty, which has been in power for
more than three hundred years. Dur
ing his reign the people suffered from
religious prosecutions and hundreds
went to martyrdom.
After MikhAil's death his SON sue

bribery and corruption ran riot in

were taxed beyond all reason. Then
the people rebelled and hundreds were
killed by the Cars soldiers. Foreign

soon became known as the German

with the Russians and their descend

came one of the great rulers OF his

known. He gained the confidence Of
the people by iessening the burdens
OF taxation. He went among them
disguished as peasant and found out
their needs He learned wisdom from
other rulers--in short his reforms
were far ahead of the times. Peter
the Second came into power and was
followed by Anna Ivanovna. This
royal lady seems to have taken Ivan
the Terrible as her model, for her
cruelty to her subjects knew no
bounds. Again rebellion was threat

up to some influence In court circles
but during the reign of the Empress
Elizabeth this party fell into disrepute

What It Means To Build A Radio
Station.
The general scheme of construction
Of all radio stations IL the same. How
ever. from such variety of form and
size as these towers reveal. 1t ID to be
presumed that q great difference of
opinion exists among authorities as to
what constitutes q most efYicient plan
for them. This Is bound to be true:
whenever we penetrate the intricacies
OF any construction which concerns
that subtle and elusive quantity-elec-
tricity-opinion invariably differs.
Though the steel beams, which con-
stitute the tower. are used solely to
support the aerial wires. some author
tiles insist that It Is preferable to
use 4 sma1l framework supported by
wide stretching wire rope guys be-
cause Il absorbs less energy. Since
great height has been found indispens-
able for long distance work. it has
been practically decided that the self
supporting type Of tower is the best
for many reasons 1t takes up lesA
ground space and insures less loss Of
energy. Tho Arlington towers are ex-
amples Of this plan and they have been
copied throughout the chain Of naval
stations.
