Radio is giving the rush to the
gold rush.
Jack Anderson, prospector, ex-
plorer, roamer of the Canadian
wilds, has started it.. He has just
arrived with a radio receiving Set
which, he says, will keep him many
bounds ahead Of all the old-time
gold rushers.
The way Anderson works it is
this:
Anderson's partner has sending
set at The Pas. Anderson takes his
receiving set and goes into the
wilderness.
Other prospectors are in the
wilderness looking for gold or cop
per. When one makes a strike he
stakes his claim and returns to
the city.
Then. with news of the new find
the gold rush begins.
But Anderson, already in the
wilderness and nearer the location
of the strike than those in the city
gets news of the find by radio His
partner sends it in the day it is
announced.
So Anderson gets there first and
has his choice of location for stalk
ing his claim.

What will be the result?
More radio sets, says Anderson.
and then-the end of the gold rush
ing days. Intsead Of staying in the
city, waiting for announcement OF
a find, the prospectors will be close
to the valuable spots ready to hear
the news by radio.
Still, Anderson doesn't fear this
new competition. He's prepared for
it, physically. Like a pugilist, he
trains for his work during the win
ter months.
A steady half hour of rope skip
ping, another at punching the bag
every day. boxing, road work, and
virtually every conditioning stunt
used by fighters, make up his train
ing schedule.
My work requires strength, be-
sides complete coordination of
nerve and muscle says Anderson.
Because Of my training l am
able to Guido the prospector who
works in the woods all winter at
numbering, trapping and dog driv-
ing, when l go out in the spring.

school will go to them, and they
will get the essentials of a high
school training, or the fundamen-
tails of a college education, without
leaving the home roof.
This is not any more fanciful
than the ultimate reality will be-
come. Radio schooling will be an
especially prepared sort of school
ing. Quite naturally, the actual
teaching of school subjects by
wireless will have to be done in a
manner adapted to the wireless.

Staying After School
The pupils work. his examina-
ton papers. will perhaps be sent
in to the school or college by mail
at stated intervals. The instruc-
tors comments thereon will pos
sibly come by radio-in due time.
A method will doubtless be devised
for helping the backward pupils
with special radio instruction. The
slow learners will be asked, it may
be, to stay after school,, in a new
manner. The instructor will an
nounce the names of such pupils
at the beginning of an evenings
lecture, requesting them to continue
listening in after the usual instruc-
ton period is over.
The farther the pupil proceeds
the better adapted radio may be
found in education. Lectures or
college subjects, higher mathemat.

many others, could certainly be
very effectively broadcast by au-
thorities. Your farmer of 20 years

RADIO SHADOWS
CAUSE TROUBLE
!. ON EAST COAST
Fcfm Spots Where Radio Cannot
Penetrate; Arc Mystery In
Many Instances

With electric waves. ~ with
light waves, there are certain OBJ
jects which cast shadows.
A radio receiving station which
chances to be in one Of these shad-
ows viii no more receive the radio
signals than will the eye Of An OBJ
server II he ia Swallowed from .
source Of light.
In some cases the cause OF radio
shadows has been traced. But in
many instances the causes are still
unknown.
Ocean going vessels carrying
comparatively high power tele-
graphic transmitters find great
difficulty in communicating so miles
across certain portions Of Long Is
land. No one knows Why.
The broadcasting station at New
ark, N. J., ID seldom satisfactorily
received in Atlantic City, where
clear signals are heard from the
station at Pittsburgh, several hun
dred miles away. Yet the power
of the two stations is practically
the same!
Steel Structures.
In large cities, group Of steel
buildings frequently casts radio
shadows that make it difficult to
receive signals Of any character
from points in the direction Of those
buildings. Sometimes mountains
may have the same effect, although
in many cases they have no effect
at all
Recently a series OF tests we're
carried out on board a moving train
Of the Delaware, Lackawanna E.
Western railroad. The operators in
charge stated that in some cases,
even when passing through a deep
cut, there would be no noticeable
effect whatever on the strength of
the received signals, while at other
times, even a small hill seemed to
throw decided shadow.
1t is quite likely that the geolog-
ical formations have something to
do with these dead spots" Their
existence has been known for many
years. But it is only OF late that
any definite effort has been made
to explore them.
Forests.
Forests, when in leaf, tend to
absorb radio energy. Stations plant
ed in the heart of a thick woods
| frequently find great difficulty in
effecting a reception Of radio sig
nails from distant points.
Vessels plying up and down the
Amazon river are seldom able tC
, communicate with each other ovel
distances greater than Is or 81
miles. although their normal day
time range is $50 miles.
A large radio company recently
undertook the exploration Of the
Atlantic coast in an effort to locate
places which are Swallowed in al
directions except seward. Severa
such points were located. Large
stations for the communication
with ships at sea will probably b.
erected there.
Such stations would be shielded
from interfering effects produced
in inland directions.
Some day we may be able t.
fully understand the causes o
radio shadows and find out how t
master them.

d. q Naval Cennunicatioa Service
Opens Stations ON the
Great Lakes.

Naval radio compass stations
have been opened At Whitefish
Point, Detour Point and Grand
Merais, Mich, by the United States
naval communication service pri-
marily for the purpose Of furnish
ing TO passing vessels their true
bearings, it has been announced.
The stations were built and are
manned and operated by naval per-
sonnet under the supervision OF
Captain Waldo Evans. commandment,
ninth naval district. whose head
quarters are at the naval training
station at the Great Lakes.
BY obtaining bearings from two
or three OF these stations COM
mander Of vessel may plot and
obtain his "fix" or position, it was
stated. The stations at Whitensh
Point and Grand Marais are oper-
ated as q unit and bearings OBJ
tanned from them are simultaneous.
The station at Detour Point is op-
Grated independently.
The procedure in asking for a
bearing and obtaining it was an
nounced as follows:
QTE.
ITO obtain a bearing from a
compass station the station Is
called in the regular manner, and
the bearing requested by means OF
the conventional signal 'QTE,
~ vro,n, srvh &c INV tpvo hoor-
ing from you" The radio compass
station will answer requests for
bearings IN the customary manner
fer answering calls and follow
their call letters with X If they
desire to take a bearing at that
time or 'QRX' II they desire the
vessel to stand by, or other abbrev-
lated signals authorized by inter-
national regulations.
"On being told to X vessels de-
string bearings will transmit their
radio call letters for 80 seconds
and then make dashes 5 second
long for one minute, making theil
call letters three times after each
5-second dash and terminating with
the conventional signal X (gc
ahead).
AT the expiration Of the direc'
tion-determining signals the radio
compass station will call the yes.
sci. make CITE and send the bear
ing In degrees 20 to $500 and thu

obtained the bearing. Bearings will

Radio compass stations in tn,

ish bearings on either 600 or 80'
meters. All ships whose transmit
ters are tuned to 800 meters ar
requested to use that wave length
for the direction determining sig
mails, although the first call mad,
should be made On GOO meters
