A T last, the worlds greatest "A paintings, the works of art 4 A which depict the worlds great stories, can be enjoyed by every body. The wonderful pictures in the art galleries of Europe and America which in the past could be seen and appreciated only by those fortunate enough to be able to visit the gall ferries, are to be galvanized into life and motion and made available to every community large enough to have motion picture theatre.
 In word, the work of motion-pic- turing not only the original great paintings but the stories they tell is now under way. The motion picture steps into this field of art so that it may be enjoyed by all.
 First of A New Series
 ''The Beggar Maid'' is the first of a se-ies of moving pictures designed to familiarize the public with the great est canvasses in the leading galleries sponsored by 6 most distinguished advisory board of artists, critics and art patrons, consisting of:
 Robert W. DeForest, president of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Kew York; Francis c. Jones, treas urer of the National Academy of De- sign; Trustee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art; Edwin H.

electrical resonance. Stations trans
800 meters will not cause a current
to be set up in the receiver
The portion of a radio receiver that
changes the wave-length at which it
is electrically resonant is called a
tuner. Suppose that "a" station trans
mits on a wave-length of 200 meters
and 'B" on a wave-length OF 800 me-
ters. BY adjusting the tuner until the
constants of the receiver make it cleo
trically resonant to a 2O0-meter wave
or a 360-meter wave, either of the two
stations can be picked up, but both
stations cannot be picked up simulta
neously This is the reason that more
than one transmitter can be operating
at one time and yet only one can be
heard on receiver without interfer
ence from the others.
The other necessary part of a radio
receiver is the detectOr. The function
of this portion of the receiver is to
utilize the small currents in the tuner
that are set up by transmitting sta

the telephone receiver were connected
directly to the tuner the high-frequency
current would not operate the dia-
phragm of the receiver and even if the
diaphragm were set in motion it would
be too fast a motion to be picked up
by the human ear.
In a simple receiver the detector u.s.
ually consists of two pieces of mineral

tact with a metallic spring. Either
combination is known as a crystal de-
tector. A detector of this type is moth.

How One Editor Uses Radio.

The editor of paper in an iso-

the radio in a most ingenious and eff
fective way. An amateur radio friend
In a big city 80 miles away buys the
latest editions of the city papers as
soon as they are off the press, reads
the best news into his transmitter, and
a typist in the country office copies the

1t is true that he was concerned with
the restoration of Noble Dill to the

Buttons Iona in Use

John ]. Jones, a waiter in the din
ing cars of the Pennsylvania railroad,
asked the other day for a new set of
brass buttons to use with his white
duck coat. When he turned in his
old buttons in exchange it was no
ticed that they were not only I'M
usually bright, but also that much
polishing and use had almost worn
off the lettering and that the front
of each button was actually worn
through in one or more places Asked
how long he had worn the buttons,

years" They had been issued to him

The high-frequency current is known
as the carrier-wave and its function
is TO radiate into space in the form of
electromagnetic waves and by it's va
ration in amplitude carry with it the
variation in the tone at the transmit
ting station.
1t is the frequency of the carrier
wave that determines The wave-length
on which a radiophones station is trans
mitted. BY experiment it mas been
found that electromagnetic waves
travel at the same velocity that ligl. :
waves travel, that is, 10000 miles per
second. Wave-length is the distance
between any two similar points on two
successive waves for example, the dis
lance from crest to crest of any two
successive waves in the same direction,
measured in meters, a unit of length
equal approximately to one and one
tenth yards. Converting 10000 miles
to meters, the equivalent is 100000, 900
meters. The length of an electro-mag-
netic wave is equal then to 300,O00,OOO
divided by the frequency. Suppose a
station was transmitting on a wave
length of 800 meters The frequency
of the carrier-wave would be approx
mately $4,000 cycles.
Just as a violinist tunes his instru-
ment, that is, makes certain string
emit a note of higher or lower pitch
or, technically speaking, sound wave
of higher or lower frequency, by adj
justing the tension on the string, so
may the electrical constants of the
antenna circuit of a radiophOne trans
mitter be changed in order to have
the station emit carrier-wave of a
different frequency.
If a tuning fork having a natural
period corresponding to middle be
placed near a viOliniSt who is playing
the fork will vibrate when the must
clan plays middle c, but all other times
it will remain quiescent. This phenom-
enon of the tuning fork vibrating
whenever the musician plays the cor

as mechanical resonance. If a radio

INVENTOR OF VANE UNKNOWN
But Devices for Showing the Direction
of the Wind Have Been in
Use for Centuries.

The origin of the weather vane Is
unknown. One of the most ancient of
which there is any record is that
mentioned by Vitruvius, and the ruins
Of the Tower of the Winds. of which
he speaks. still stands in Athens. This
building was erected about century
before the Christian era. He writes:
"Those who have paid most atten-
ton to the winds make them eight in
number, and particularly Andronicus
Cyrrhestes, who built at Athens an
octagonal tower of marble and cut on
each face the figure of the several
Winds, each looking to the quarter
from which that wind blows.
ION the tower he placed marble
column, on which was a Triton of
bronze holding a rod in his right hand.
And he cOntrived it that the figure
moved round with the wind so that
it constantly stood opposite it, and the
rod, which was above the figure.
showed in what direction the wind
blew"
Effigies of many creatures have done
duty as vaneS. Man himself has not
escaped. The female form divine even
has not been spared this indignity.
Such sentiment as is expressed In
the sentence, woman tickle as the
wind" may have been in the mind
of Theodosius the Great when he
erected at Constantinople, in the
Fourth century. the vane called the
Lady of the Winds"
