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 a
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 large number Of
fuses.
Engineers Of an eastern electric light
company have offered the following
suggestions to amateurs:
"First-Successfu results have been
obtained so far only with audion bulb
sets. Crystal sets receive the signals.
but for some reason they are very
weak and indistinct.
"Second-No set should be used on
this system without air or oil filled
condensers. placed In series with either
the antenna circuit or the ground
circuit-preferably in the antenns
circuit.
"Third-A fuse not heavier than
one-half ampere should be used In
series and just ahead CT the antenna
connection.
"Fourth-An ordinary separate de-
tachment plug. e., one with two
blades connecting the two separate
halves of the plug-is used. Only one
wire Is run from this plug, the other
binding screw left undlSturbed This
single conductor wire should be long
enough to reach from Il handy electric
light socket to the table where the
instrument Is located and should
terminate In the fuse mentioned above

A Glorious Deed.

In MIR. J. W. Robertson Scott's book,
THE Foundation of Japan" we are
told OF deed that deserves a place
IN some golden treasury.
The story is that a peasant in
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 ii would take away from
the only store the village would have
'or sowing in the spring.
Eventually he was found dead Of
hunger in his cottage, his head resting
upon the unopened bale of rice. Who
snail say that he has not place in
.he brightest hero-list of those who
nave laid down their lives for their
friends?"
