Graves Of 2fs Americans, Enemies Of
England, Decorated at Princeton
for First Time.

A half century after the originati0n
Of a memorial. or decoration day, ON
which tribute is paid TO those who
have died In the nations wars, the
graves OF 218 Americans who fought
IN the War OF 1872 were decorated for
the first time last Memorial day.
At Princeton. England, there are the
graves of 218 Americans who died
while held prisoners of war in Dart
moor prison. The parish church In
he little village of Princeton was built
~ the labor of these and a number Of
French prisoners.
For many years the sod which COW
cred the remains of these IONS of
America was unmarked. Finally n
If the governors of the prison had a
ssaiFH and a monument erected to mark
The resting place of England's worthy
enemies. Their graves, however, had
never been decorated in the manner In
which the graves of other American
heroes are decorated until the London
post of the American Legion placed a
large wreath over their resting place
on last Memorial day.

In Figure XXXVI the tube was made
self exciting by coupling an inductance
G connected In the grid circuit to l.,
an ~inductance In the tune plate circuit.
A development Of this circuit is shown
10 Figure xxx.
Here the energy. instead OF being
directly coupled from the plate to the
grid circuit, is first necessary to AN
intermediate circuit, MN, and then to
the grid circuit. 1t Is necessary of
course. that the circuit KY and Mn
have the same natural period, that Is
to say. they must be tuned to the same
frequency. If the frequency is rela-
lively high, the condenser G can be
dispensed with, and the capacity of the
plate to flament used as a portion of
the oscillation plate circuit.

COUPLING CONTROLS
THE OSCILLATIONS
How the Vacuum Tube Radio
Receiver Can Be Made
Regenerative.

II 1t were not for the bends In the
characteristic curve, the three-elec-
trode vacuum tube could not be made
to produce oscillations Of constant am
plltude when self excited. Ii is easily
seen mat If the characteristic curve
were-a straight line. the operation of
the tube would be so unstable as to
render the tube useless as an oscllla-
ton generator. A third condition of
relative values OF potential variations
can exist, that is, when the grid cir
cult potential variations are less than
the potential variations existing In the
tuned circuit between the points \ and
Y. When this condition exists, the
oscillations In the tuned circuit cannot
be maintained but the decrease In am
plitude In the tuned circuit oscillations
will reduce the grid e~xcitatlon, oand the
tube win finally cease TO osclllate.
Thus the coupling that exists be-
tween the plate circuit, through the
tuned circuit inductance L and the
grid circuit through the inductance 1.

not cause the tube TO act as a gener-
ator OF undamped oscillations.
Suppose that the coupling existing
between the two coils l. and is such
that the tube Is generating oscillations.
II the coupling be reduced, that is If
the coils be moved farther apart 1t will
require greater and greater variations
In potential In the coil l. to maintain
the same variations In the coil /. This
weakening of the plate to grid coupling

CAN MAP ROCKS FROM AIR
Aviator's Cooperation With Geoiooist
10 Lucky to Prove Of Enormous
Value Commercially.

The geologist of the future may use
the airplane in searching for minerals
in unprospected country. At the meet
ing of the Canadian Institute of Mining
and Metallurgy in Ottawa, e. L. Bruce
declared that he is enthusiastic over
the possibilities Of airplane mapping
and that on trial flight he had been
able to recognize easily the most strik-
ing geological formations.
From the air it is possible to tell
various areas by their color and by the
general surface features that are char
acteristic Of sections of country under
lain by different types of rock" he
said. Granite can be distinguished
from those rocks which are more
favorable to the occurrence Of
economic minerals. Use of airplanes
will relieve the geologist of a vast
amount of work and would save a
large part of his time. Areas of
granite which are not important
economically, and those areas Of deep
glacial cover where no rocks are ex-
posed could be eliminated. 1t would
thus free him for the exploration Of
the areas of promising rocks, and so
extend the field covered by each sea-
sons operations. 1t would, moreover,
give him an idea of the most adj
vantageous points for inland traverses
and would show him the position Of
inland lakes which might be of use
to him in fixing the boundaries of
formations
