vAGARlES OF VACUUM TUBES
Peculiar Actions That Always Astonish
and Sometimes Brighten the
Amateur Radioist.

Everybody who has had anything to
do with vacuum tubes has from time
to time had them do unexpected things
and give results that at the moment
seem beyond explanation.
The explanation of several charac-
tertstics of these miniature giants
which are met with in daily operation
Is sure to prove of great interest to
the amateur. In cases where the ac-
tons of the tube are not understood
these peculiarities have sometimes
frightened people.
One instance Of a newborn fans
fright was brought to attention in a
letter of inquiry. The instrument had
just been set up and was being oper-
ated for the first time. The tubes had
been firmly adjusted and were just at
the splitting point and-over they went,
giving vent to the most unearthly
sounds. The embryo enthusiast who
looked upon the audion tube as an
electric light, thought it was going to
explode. He jumped away from the
instrument and out Of the room. and
did not venture near it for several
hours, and then only after reaching
round the corner Of the door with a
long stick and pulling the battery
switch off.
Similar instances have come to at
tention when bulbs generate vari.c0l-
ored vapors in the vacuum chamber.

A complete crystal detector can be
purchased from 70 cents to 81, de-

Two other pieces Of apparatus are

tai of the detector make contact until,
when nearby electric light is snapped

TIPS TO THE RADiolsT

Fired % caliber rifle shells
make good switch points for tun-
ing coils and receiving trans
formers.
A single wire aerial 100 to
$50 feet long is sufficient for
local and long distance reception
OF broadcasting stations.
Do not string aerials across
the street or across electric
wires. Keep antenna wires off
electric light and telephone
poles.
Stranded copper or solid cop
per wire should be used. PhoS-
phOr bronze wire if obtainable
Is stronger but not superior to
copper.
Good contact with a piece Of
mineral like galena can be had
by wrapping it in tinfoil. OF
course. the top Of the crystal
is left exposed.
The brass ends Of large car
fridge shells make splendid
crystal detector cups. They
should be cleaned out thoroughly
before they are used.
The winding of cardboard
tubes from oatmeal boxes may
be improved greatly if the tube
Is first heated in an oven for
about Is minutes to take out
the moisture and then wound;
or better still shellac 1t while
1t Is still warm and leave 1t
to soak in.
In winding tuning coils with
bare wire a thread should be
wound on with the wire. This
will separate each turn. When
the coil Is finished the thread
can be taken of. Shellac should
he applied Immediately. When
the shellac IL dry the copper
wire will hold its place.

cially good when cleaning wool. Other
stains may be absorbed in the same
way. SO it is always safe to try chalk,
-four or starch and blotting paper is
very useful to absorb a spot If treated
while damp.
All solvents will not remove all
stains. For grease use alcohol, chic.
reform or ether for delicate fabrics
and colors. Other solvents are ben.
zine. gasoline and turpentine.
In removing grease spots from fab.
ric place blotting paper under the
spot to absorb the diluted fat, so that
when the solvent is evaporated there
will not be ring.
A fresh grease spot may often be
removed by putting a blotter under it
and pressing with hot iron. The
grease goes into the blotter.
All these solvents are highly inflam.
nable and should never be used
around an open flame.

fact that there was an average loss Of

gators cite the fact that some Of these
droves made profits under the most
adverse conditions, a. emphasizing the
extreme Importance Of watching the
details Of feeding and management In
slump periods In the cattle business.
The feeders In the areas studied
who made the most economic gains. In
general, used standard rations. In MI.
nOis and Indiana this ration consisted
Of corn. protein meal, mixed clover
and timothy hay, and siIage, with some
slower and fodder. In Nebraska and
Iowa the standard rations consisted Of
corn and alfalfa hay, while in Missouri
1t consisted Of corn, protein meal. hay
and fodder. In the latter state some
Of the cattle covered In the study were

"rhe average loss Of $2O.S7 per
head" one Of the department investi-
gators explains. should be looked at
In the light of the fact that all feeds
were charged to the cattle at farm
prices for all home grown feeds, and
store prices for feeds bought" Thus
the effect Of the loss in question on
the farm business as q whole was in
some measure offset by the return

ketable rOughage fed to the average
