ENGLISH FAKER HAD GENIUS
More Than a Century and a Half Ago
He Made Big Money With His
Celestial Bed"

One Of the most brazen takers II
history was Doctor Graham, who, In
1873, opened a "Temple of Health" In
London. He had recently come from
America and had somewhere picked
up an elementary knowledge Of cleo
tricity, or at least It's Technology. He
had at his temple a celestial bed"
which, if a sick person slept in it, was
advertised to be q sure cure.
This woodworking piece Of fur
niture was made by n Denton, on
Doctor Graham's order. 1t was beau
tifully carved, covered with silk dam
ask, supported by % glass pillars, and
surmounted by a richly carved and
gilt canopy from which crimson cur
tains with fringe and tassel were sus-
pended.
In his advertisement he claimed:
'sThis bed Is magnetfco-electric. In a
neighboriEg closet is placed a cylinder
by which l communicate celestial fire

animates and WHITES ALL" He charged

USING ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRE
experts Tell the Safe Way to Employ
This System for Radio
Receiving

Since the announcement that the
bureau of standards Of the depart
ment of commerce had perfected q
method Of employing electric light
wires in place Of aerials, considerable
experimenting has been done by vari-
Gus amateurs. some of whom have had
good luck while others succeeded
only in blowing a large number Of
fuses.
Engineers of an eastern electric light
company have offered he following
suggestions to amateurs:
"First-Successful results have been
obtained so far only with audiOn bulb
sets. Crystal sets receive the signals,
but for some reason they are very
weak gnd indistinct.
"Sec9nd-No set should be used on
this system without air or oil filled
acondensers, placed in series with either
the antenna circuit or the ground
circuit preferably In the antenna
~circuiE.
"Third-A fuse not heavier than
aOne-half 6mpere should be used in
series and just ahead Of the antenna
connection.
"Fourth-An ordinary separate de-
tachment plug. e., n with W
blades connecting the two separate
halves of the plug-is used. Only one
wire Is run from this plug, the other
binding screw left undisturbed. This
single conductor wire should be long
enough to reach from a handy electric
light socket to the table where the
instrument is located and should
terminate in the fuse mentioned above.
In case an externally connected con-
-denser is used, the circuit should be
run from the fuse to the condenser
and from the condenser to the anten-
ma binding post of the receiving set.
"In sets where the condenser is
built into the instrument the connec-
ton from the fuse is run directly to
the antenna binding post. All other
connections should be exactly the
same as for conventional overhead
aerial receiving.
"Screw the attachment plug into
the electric light socket and tune as
usual. In case no signals are received
reverse the blades in the attachment
plug by simply pulling the attachment 1
