SLACK MEAT DEMAND
BECAUSE OF WEATHER
CUTS PRICE, RECEIPTS

With declining market for hogs
and cattle during the first of the week,
due to the slack demand for fresh
meats that always develops after
warm weather, low prices ruled and
small receipts were common, says the
Shurley stock yards report. The in
activity of marketing was blamed on
the impossibility of paying a price
satisfactory to the feeder
The yards received 230 hogs which
weighed 46.5s0 pounds and we're val
ued at s4,751.15; also IA steers fed by
Harry Smith. of Centerville, which
averaged 1850 pounds and brought
$3.50. Cows sold for 81 to $3.50 and rs
calves delivered on Saturday, sold for

POSITION AND SIZE
OF GRID IMPORTANT
Determine Value of Negative Po-
tentiaI Necessary to Reduce
the Plate Current to Zero.

In using a three-electrode
tube In a radio set it is preferable to
maintain the grid negative with re-
spect to the filament In order to re-
quire the minimum amount of energy
in the control of the plate circuit.
The relative position of the grid
with respect to the filament and the
plate and the size of the mesh of the
grid, determine the value of f. L is
the negative potential which must be
applied to the grid in order to reduce
the plate current to zero. The value
OF f, which is the positive grid poten-
tial that will cause the maximum or
saturation current to flow in the plate
circuit, is also determined by the rela-
tive position of the grid with respect
to the tilament and plate. If the grid
is of very fine mesh, the value of L
is small because the electrons in pass
Ing through the small mesh of the
grid on their journey from the fila
ment to the plate will negatively
charge the grid and will be repealed.
Similarly a small positive charge ap-
piled TO a fine mesh will tend to ac-
celerate the velocity of the electrons.
In case of a very coarse mesh grid,
the electrons can pass through the ap-
ertures in the grid without coming in

A~ristocrat Shocked Londoners When

Lord Clarendon was probably the
first highly-place6 Englishman to
smoke cigarettes h%abitually; he ac-
ouired a taste for them when ambas-
sador at Madrid in the thirties, and
~henceforth preferred that form of
smoking to any other. "A tradition

his biographer, Sir Herbert Maxwell,
how, when Lord Clarendon was for
eign minister, he used to sit down to
a batch of papers with a 'undle of
cigarettes beside him, which was usu-
ally finished before the papers"
Still, Lord Clarendon, wit all his
love of tobacco, never Haunted his
devotion to it so boldly as his con-

erland, who, as Lady Dorothy Nevill
relates, lone day boldly walked In
Hyde park with a cigar between his

HOW TO EXHAUST A TUBE
Amateurs Can Make own Expert
mental Devices by This
Method.

Amateurs who are constructing their
own experimental tubes, and there are
many of them in these days when the
price is high and the tubes are scarce,
find the hardest part of the construc-
ton In obtaining a good vacuum. The
following Is a simple but effective
method of doing it:
Have a small glass tube projecting
beyond the end through which to draw
the air.
Get rubber bulb, or ball, large
enough to hold all the air contained in
the valve, and more and which should
fit on the glass tube.
squeeze all the air out of the bulb
or ball. and holding 1t, so s%queezef, fit
IT ON the glass tube. Now let go
and the air will be drawn out of the
valve. Leaving the bulb on, seal up
the glass tube by holding it over a
bunsen burner.
Many tubes that seem to be gone
entirely can be revived by this method.

A Glorious Deed.

In Mr.. J. W. Robertson Scott's book,
1.-THE Foundation of Japan" we are
told of a deed that deserves a place
in some golden treasury.
"The story is that a peasant In a
period of scarcity happened to be the
possessor of the only unbroken bale
of rice in his village. He himself suf-
fered from lack of food, but, looking
to the future, he resolved to sacrifice
himself for others good. He would
not cook any of the rice because he
saw that it would take away from
the only store the village would have
for sowing in the spring.
Eventually ne was found dead of
hunger in his cottage, his head resting
upon the unopened bale of rice. Who
shall say that he has not a place in
the brightest herO-list of hose who
have laid down their lives for their
friends?"

relatively high potential will be re-
quired on the grid to control the cleo
tron stream, or In other words, the
current flowing in the plate circuit.
Referring to Fig. VIII, O-G, is the
current that will flow in the plate cir
cult when there Is no potential ap-
piled to the grid. Suppose a positive
potential as OF is applied to the grid.
The corresponding plate circuit current
will be I'D or BID, more thar it was
when the grid had no potential APP
piled to it.
A negative potential of OH rs now
applied to the grid where OH is equal
in value to OIL, but opposite in sign.
The application of the negative po-
tential when applied to the grid will
cause the plate current to be reduced
to a value He or A-C, less than II
was when there was no potential APP
piled to the grid. So 1t is seen that II
negative potential when applied to the
grid does not reduce the plate circuit
current as much as the same positive
potential increased the plate circuit
current. This irregular conductivity of
the tube is made use of when the tube
is used as a detector or rectifier of
radio signals.
The incoming radio signal Is a high
frequency alternating current. Let us
apply an alternating difference of po-
tential whose maximum positive val
ue Is equal to OIL and whose maximum
negative value Is equal to OH, to the
grid of the three-electrode tube
whose characteristic curve Is the same
as thai shown in Fig. VIII. In Fig.
TX Is shown the alternating difference
of potential applied to the grid.
Through the first quarter of a cycle,
from zero at j to a maximum mega
tive value at X, equal to OH, the
plate circuit current will vary from
O-G, its value at z when no grid po-
tential Is applied to a value at q equal
to He.
During the next quarter of a cycle
the grid potential changes from n
maximum negative value at X to zero
at l.. The corresponding values of
plate circuit current are shown by the
portion of the plate current curve
OR.
During the next or third quarter
of a cycle the applied grid potential
increases from zero at l. to a maxi
mum positive value at NJ, equal to
OIL, and causes the plate circuit to in.
crease from lib, its value when the
plate potential is zero, to I'D, an in
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1922-07-05

crease in plate current equal to BID.
During the remaining fourth quar-
ter of a cycle as the applied grid po-
tential varies from n maximum posi-
tive value mt M to zero at N, the plate
circuit current varies from Il value 5
to T.
Assuming that the characteristic
curve as shown in Fig. VIII and Fig.
IN was with n potential of 40 volts
on the plate, then. if the plate current
is to be reduced to zero by a varia-
ton of plate voltage-with no poten.
tial applied to the grid-the plate
voltage must be reduced to zero or a
reduction of 40 vols must be made.
If the 40 volts Is maintained on the
plate and a negative potential of E-O
Is applied to the grid, it will reduce
the current to zero.
Suppose Ole represents five volts.
1t car be see then that a change of
five volts in grid potential will accom-
plish the same result that 40 volts will
in the plate circuit. The ratio of
the voltage change In the plate cur
rent Is called the factor of the tube
and is denoted by the letter IL
In the tube just discussed the am
plification factor would be 40 divided
by five or eight. The application
factor of the tubes available for ann
teur use Mt present is usually between
4 and 10. The application factor is
a function of the dimensions and rela-
tive positions of the elements in the
tube.
An incoming radio frequency al
ternating current applied TO the grid
of Il three-eleclrode vacuum tube Is
not only rectified but the variation in
the plate is multiplied by "k," the
amplification factor of the tube. This
makes the three-electrode vacuum the
most sensitive detectOr available.
In actual tubes the point G on the
characteristic curves as shown in Fig.
VIII and Fig. TX may not fall on such
n point of the curve that symmetrical
changes in grid potential will cause a
