Radio Amateurs Enjoy Concord

From 60 Miles Away.
CONCERTS A NIGHTLY AFFAIR
Development Of Radio Equipment Has
Brought Price Of Apparatus Down
Wire and Broom Handle
Enough for Aerial.

New York.-Rapid development Of
the radio telephone has made possible
for thousands of persons in New York
and other parts Of the country fulfill
ment Of LoIgfellow's prophecy that
"the night shall be filled with music"
Enterprising amateur wireless oper-
atOrs, as well as many commercial sta
tions, now put out through the air
each night concerts created by attach
Ing to sending sets monographs and
player pianos. Others, more enter
prising, sing or play the violin and
other instruments for the benefit Of
all who will "llsten in."
. Approximately one-half the amateurs
in the New York district are licensed,
permitting them to send. The others
are content with receiving sets.
Receiving Apparatus Cheap.
Development of the radio equipment
has been such that practical receiv-
very few dollars-the prices range up
ward In accordance with the equip
ment.
Great stretches Of aerials are no
longer necessary. A few feet Of wire,
looped over the end Of broom and
hung out over the fire escape, and a
ground wire attached to radiator
or water pipe answer. Some do not
even call on the family broom, but
attach a wire to the spring Of a bed
or couch and excellent results fol-
low.
On recent evening one amateur
residing in New York city heard seven
concerts at one time coming from dis
tances varying from two to 100 miles.
BY means Of tuners" these concerts
were easily separated SO that each
one stood out clear and distinct from
the others as desired.

ly on the eggs. She should be han
died In this manner until on being let
off she returns to the new nest rather
than to the old one. 1t sometimes
takes only two or three days, and sci.
dom more than a week, TO break
hen from returning to her old nest.
Turkey hens do not ordinarily come
off for feed and water more than once
every two or three days but when
confined they should have n chance to
come off every day. Occasionally
turkey hen does not come Off at all,
and In such case she should be taken
off once a day, as otherwise she will
die on the nest.
On coming off her nest the first
thing a turkey hen does is to stretch
her wings, step gingerly for few
steps, and then she often takes a
running start and flies for short dis
tance. Exercise of this sort helps
greatly to keep q sitting hen In good
condition, and for this reason it is not
well to confine her to q small space.
A dust bath is greatly enjoyed by sit
ting hens, and helps to keep them
free from vermin. Whole corn Is q
good feed, and fresh water and grit
should always be accessible.
Lice are q great annoyance to sit
ting hens, and are one Of the worst
enemies of young poults. TO prevent
their getting q start, the hen should
he busted thoroughly with sodium
fiuoride or some good lice powder be-
fore she is placed on the nest. The
nesting material should be kept clean.
and IL the eggs become dirty they
should be washed with soft cloth
dipped In lukewarm water. Just be-
fore the poults are to hatch, the old
nesting material should be replaced
with clean straw.
Incubation Period.
The incubation period Of turkey
eggs Is 2S days. The f1rst egg is usual
" pipped during the first part of the
twenty-seventh day, the first pOult
hatched by the middle of that day,
ana the hatch completed at the end
Of 2S days, although in extreme cases
all the poults are not hatched before
the end OF 80 days. Turkey eggs are
tested for fertility and for dead
germs, as a rule. on the tenth and
twentieth days.

LARYNGAPHONE Is LATEST
Britons Place Transmitter to Throat
Instead Of Mouth.

A new telephone device already In
actual use in England is the larynga-
phone, a transmitter In which disk
is placed against the throat Of the
speaker and the sound is transmitted
by the vibration of the vocal cords. 1t
Is suitable for use in noisy factories
and workrooms where the ordinary
telephone mouthpiece transmitter
would pick up the other sounds In the
room and so prevent conversation. In
appearance the laryngaphone resembles
the ordinary telephone except that
there Is smooth rounded rubber disk
instead of mouthpiece. The receiver
is the same and the messages are re-
ceived In the ordinary speaking voice.

her vision to fulfillment. For there
may be wandering somewhere In the

impact Of German bullet swept the
ties Of memory, yet who writes al

Mrs. Michael has carried her search
far, and here and there has found
tales Of big Mike" as his 'buddies"
knew him, which filled her with tear
ful pride. But also she found conflict

later signs of life were seen, and he
went back on the weary road to the

they recognized a photograph of big

According to Springfield advices Gus Mokas, wanted h this city on charge of embezzlement of $400 from Hanni- bal Hamlin, a Boston detective, will fight extradition. Extradition proceed ings are now being carried out by the local authorities. The papers were completed Tuesday.
