"DiVORCE RING" THE LATEST
Fad Recently Adopted by Those Freed From the Marital Tie by Court
 Proceedings.

From time immemorial woman has worn on the third finger of her left hand plain band of gold as a symbol of her honored position of wifehood. And when death takes from her the partner of her life she signifies her loss and grief by wearing appropriate garb.
 But in what different manner to- day the widow of the present, that is. the one who by the sanction of the courts. has resigned her job as wife, makes known to all the world her re- newed state of single blesSedness. For the grass widow of today has ju~: adopted the latest of fads. the "di- vorce ring" The jeweled symbol Of the severance of the marital tie takes the place of the former gold band. It is made of gold or platinum on which is mounted broken Cupid's bow at the end of which is set a jewel to rep resent a divorce. Should the wearer once more embark on the matrimonial seas and again come 10 wreck then another jewel is added to indicate the second divorce, and so on.

MADE FOR EMPEROR'S TABLE
Massive Silver Set Ordered by Ma poleon Put on Exhibition at
 New York.

The massive silver set of 919 pieces ordered by Napoleon l, during the hundred days, delivered after his ab dication to Louis XVIII, and used by the French royal family at Tuileries palace from 1915 to 1880. has been placed on exhibition in New York. Two bullet holes In the soup tureen bear evidence of the revolutions 1t has passed through. Each article bears the Bourbon coat of arms, the fleur de lis surmounted with the crown and is stamped with the official govern ment mark, the mark of the chief craftsman and of the guild. Napoleon l ordered this set of silver from Bien- nais on his return to France from his first exile on the island of Elba. IL was made during the hundred days of Napoleons second reign, but before 1t could be delivered Napoleon was forced to abdieate and was again ex- fled this time to end his days on St Helena. Louis XVIII. his successor, paid Biennais for the silver and had the Bourbon coat of arms placed on it. The set of silver passed finally to the heirs of the duo de Chambord and through them has come to North America.

LINKING MOVIE AND RADIO
British Scientists Have Some Success in Wireless Transmission of
 Motion Pictures.

British scientists are reported to have met with more or less success in developing method of transferring motion pictures by radio. Some months ago photograph was trans ferred by wireless from the Copen- hagen newspaper. the Politiken, to Eng land. and later from England to a ship in mid Atlantic, so that the pussibil- ity of linking the movies with the new art Is not remote.
 If perfected the new development of the already versatile art will make it possible for one to see on his own re- ceiving instrument things that are hap pening at a great distance, For instance, ship is sinking at sea. The transmitting station of the vessel. in- stead of sending message of the dis aster, sends picture that anyone with Il receiving set will be able to see just as the present broadeasting programs are heard.
 That all sounds remote now, but the telephone was considered even more so. and the wireless, even after Marconis immortal message had bridged the Atlantic, was generally be- lieyed to be akin to the idea of per petual motion.

Starting one-half inch from one end of the cardboard tube wind on the No. % D. c. c. wire within one-half inch of the other end of the tube. Fasten one end of the winding to the tube but allow some surplus wire on the other end for making connec- tion. After the winding is in place give it q coat of shellac or varnish to hold the turns in place. Assemble the circular-cut pieces of wood in the geometrical center of the square blocks and then shellac or varnish them for the appearances sake.
 When thoroughly dry slip the two end blocks into the wound tube and by means of few finishing brads driven through the cardboard tube. fasten the end blocks to the wound tube. The slider Is to be mounted on top of the coil and should be cap- able of making contact with any turn of the wire on the tube. In order to remove the insulation from the wire inst under the rod where the slider moves back and forth, wrap piece of sandpaper around a thin piece of wood and using another piece of wood as guide, sandpaper the insulation from the winding. Drill Il hole one eighth inch in diameter through the slider rod about one-fourth inch in from each end so that the rod can be fastened by screws to the end blocks. After the slider rod is fastened in place see that the contact finger on the bottom of the slider can at all times make good contact with the winding. Mount d binding post on either end of the coil, attaching one by means of wire to the slider rod and the other to the end of the wire wound on the tube and the tuner IS complete. A tuner can be purchased already assembled for about S3.50 to S4OO.

HOW AMATEUR CAN
 BUILD A RECEIVER
Instructions for Setting Up the Antenna and for Assembling
 the Tuner.

In order to pick up sufficient energy with the simple radio receiving set 1t is necessary to connect one termi- nal to an antenna consisting of one or more wires suspended in the air and insulated from all grounded material and the other terminal to ground usually the water supply pipe. The height of an antenna used with q small receiver should not be less than 30 feet AS the received energy va ries directly as the height of an anten- ma. the higher the antenna the louder will be the signals or voice produced. The length of an antenna for short wave reception should not be less than 90 feet nor should 1t be longer than 900 feet The minimum wave length to which simple receiver can be adjusted for electrical resonance will be above that used by amateurs if the receiver be connected to an an tenna POO feet or more in length.
 X simple radiophone receiver cap able of picking up radiophone sta tions similar to KDkA at East Pitts burgh, can be assembled by novice for from S4 to $l5, depending upon the builders ability to use his hands. If the builder will construct most of his apparatus he will appreciate 1t much more and probably will under stand more about its operation than If he buys a set already made. How ever. for those who have not the abil- fly or the time to spend constructing their own apparatus the following de scription will not only give the details as to the construction of each com ponent part of receiver but also what standard ready-made parts can be purchased and used in its stead.
 The material can be purchased at any electrical supply store
 In erecting simple antenna for use with the receiver shown in the diagram. the antenna proper and the lead-in are of stranded hard-drawn copper wire, strand No. 22, costing about l cent per foot. The two insu- lators are of nodded material and can he purchased for about 25 cents each. The antenna shown is supported De tween Il house and a pole. It may be found more convenient to support IL between a tree and a house, two houses or even between two chimneys on the same house. In bringing down the lead-in care should be taken that it Is kept as far away from grounded material as possible and when bring ing through the wall or under the win dow into the house it should be brought through some sort of an insulating tube. such as rubber or hakelite.
 In making the ground connection the same kind of wire can be used as was purchased for the antenna. You can clean section of the waterpipe thoroughly and solder the ground wire tC fl.

MAKING THE TUNER

To make a tuner for this receiver, the following raw material will be re- Quired:
 Piece of cardboard tubing three inches outside diameter and five inches long. costing about 10 cents.
 100 feet No. 22 double cotton-cov. cred magnet wire costing 25 cents.
 Standard slider lsee sketch) for A by A brass rod. 70 cents.

TIPS TO THE RADioiST

A crystal detector cannot be satisfactorily amplitied.
 lnsulate ends of aerial wires with several small insulators.
 Wherever possible run aerial wires at right angles to electric light wires.
 The lead wire should be the size of the combined number of wires in the aerial.
 Gas piping makes a poor ground. but the cold water pipe ground Is excellent.
 A crystal defector is never as efficient as vacuum tube detec- tor no matter what instruments are connected to it.
 Within three to five miles from broadcasting station indoor one wire aerials about 40 feet long stretched from room to room, are generally satisfactory with crystal detectors.
