Recent observance ~: the anniversary
of rho He,ts OF pr. Elisha K"rt Kane.
recalls one OF TIE greatest ep.cs o.
herois1n In American history. pr. Kan
was leading American explorer and
ransfu.o particular prominence through
his part in pioneer Arctic journeys tho
results OF which were glor:ously utilized
many years after wheu another Ameri-

Kane was SO rrau physically that at
the age Of IS he hid to abandon his
course in Virginia university and 80
home. Uudaunted h. took up the study
Of medicine and made such progress that
IN less than two years he was made
visiting physician to the Pennsylvania
hospital. Again his health broke down
and ne was forced TO abandon his work.
Later. he was appointed surgeon IN
tho navy and became physician oc tho
American legation at rekta. While
there. he made explorations in India and
,Ceylon. went TO the Philippines. crossed
iLuzon from coast TO coast and descend,
,sd into the crater oc the Taal volcano.

and IN which he alone succeeded. For

MALE SCHOOL TEACHER LECTURES LADIES ON

LIMA, Ohio, Dec. 12.-"The bust- ness woman of today should do away with strong scented perfume, taking off her silly clothes and dress in a sensible fashion that will keep her mind on business, and must stop making dates with every Tom, Dick and Harry who happens to enter the office," declared c. T. GruenbaIm, president of local business col lege.
 "The woman who goes out of a business college and into offices looking for a job has small chance of getting away with recommenda- tion if she is one of the hand-painted baby-doll type" continued Gruen- baum.
 Gruenbaum said he did not object to a mild brand of perfume, afford ing faint odor of daintiness, and just enough powder to keep the shine from the nose.

STANDARD OIL READY DRILL
 TO WESTWARD

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.-On a wildcat" oil venture in Alaska, the Standard Oil Co, of California, has sent an expedition across two ranges of mountains and miles of tundra lands to it's property on the southwestern Alaska peninsula where a well Is to be drilled.
 Men from the company's Cali fornia fields made up the crew which was. sent to Alaska in August. The expedition landed at Portage Bay and occupied seventeen days in un- loading it's equipment by lighters from the steamer. In the outfit was everything necessary to drill well 4000-feet deep. It included an 84- foot rig, castings, tools, commissary supplies, dynamos, a wireless outfit and two 6O-horsepower tractors. Once ashore the crew had to build seventeen miles of road. A member of the crew who recently re turned to San Francisco said that the road had been built and the lum- be for the rig had been laid on the location whre the well Is to be drilled.
 Approximately $250,000 is to be spent by the company in it's first Alaska well. Perhaps more than one well will be necessary before it can be determined that oil is or is not present In commercial quantities.

FIRST TRAIN CROSSES BRIDGE;
 TRANSFER TROUBLES AT END
(From Nenana News)

The completion of the panel work of the big Panama river steel bridge, which will be the second largest of it's kind in the world when completed, en- abled a train to cross to the north side yesterday and henceforth, until the structure is fully completed next spring all freight for Fairbanks will be hauled over the bridge by rail and be transferred to the narrow guage line at the north approach to the bridge where yards have been prepared for the handling of shipments without delay.
 By arrangements with the American Bridge Company, the Alaska railroad will have the use of the bridge for transfer purposes at night. Owing to the fact that no trains will be able to pass over the bridge during the day owing to possible ln- terference with the construction work, passengers travelling between Nenana and Fairbanks will be transferred by team connecting with the train at North Nenana as in the past.
 The train which passed over the bridge yesterday consisted of a car Of steel rails for use in the yards on the north side of the river The cars were pulled over by Engineer Pete Gala gher in engine No. PIP, which has re- placed the Five Spot for the winter.
 The bridge paneling stands solidly on the false work, more than fifty feet above the river ice. The sides Of the bridge or truss which will be erected on the panel work, will rise to height of s5 feet, and when the struc- ture is completed it will look some thing like the steel bridge at Fair banks, only much larger in every way.

when RI increases. III must decrease.
This means that when a constant 'B"
battery potential Is applied to the
plate circuit of vacuum tube, con-
tanning external resistance, pn ip-
crease In plate current causes a de-
crease in the potential existing ba-
tween the plate and the filament.
4. The static" Characteristic curve
was drawn on the assumption that
the difference In potential between
the plate and the filament remained
constant, obviously then, when the ex-
ternal plate circuit has other than
zero impedance, the static character,
istic curve no longer holds true.
The characteristic curve of tube
having other than zero impedance in
the external plate circuit Is the "dy.
manic" characteristic. The greater
the variations In plate current, the
greater the variation In the voltage
existing between the plate and the
filament. If the value Of r. the ex,
ternal plate impedance, is increased,
the greater will be the variation in
the plate to filament voltage for the
same variation In plate current.
In Fig. XXvI (2) is represented the
dynamic characteristic of tube with
certain definite value of X In the
plate circuit. Curve 90 represents
the dynamic characteristic of the
same tube with larger value of X
in the plate circuit. Finally the ex-
treme condition is reached, in which
II is made infinitely high and the
dynamic characteristic becomes. par
allel to the grid voltage axis as In
az. This shows that variations Of
grid potential would produce no var
iation of plate current, but maxi
mum variations of plate variations OF
plate potential. These would be am
plified variations Of grid potential
variations.
This last condition of having the
variations of plate potential amplified
variations of grid potential varla'
tions is the ideal condition sought fol
in vacuum tube amplifiers.
