SEALDSWEET GRAPEFRUIT SETS
LONDON BY EARS

The demonstrations of Sealdsweet
grapefruit in England during Febru-
ary not only were entirely satisfac-
tory to the Exchange in accomplish
ing the desired results in distribu.
ton, but attracted large attention
there
The London newspapers gave con-
siderable space to commenting upon
them. Two of the large illustrated
papers, the Daily Graphic and the
Daily Mirror, of London, considered
them of sufficient interest to photo
graph them and to run the photo
graphs along with those of members
OF the peerage, musical comedy stars,
football heroes and photographs of
unusual events of public interest.
Three of these as reproduced by
these London papers are reprinted
in the center columns. In the bot
tom picture Mr. Shearn. proprietor
OF the foremost fruit store in Lon
don, is shown sitting at table per-
sonally demonstrating grapefruit to
a number Of his patrons.
In London demonstrations were
held at Shearn's and at Selfridge's, 5,
the great department store, and so
large was the interest aroused that
it was difficult at times to keep them
supplied with fruit. Simultaneously
demonstration was staged in the
biggest store in Manchester. This
also was most pronounced success.
While the Exchanges effort to in
troduce grapefruit into Great Britain
necessarily is experimental in its ma
ture, the results to date have been
very gratifying and, according to re-
ports. they have exceeded the best
expectations of the men in charge
of the work on the other side of the
water.-Grower

that their natural period of oscilla- tion is the same,--that if both circuits were energized, they would both rad. fate energy on the same wave length. It has been found that if two circuits are in resonance, and one of the two circuits is energized, energy will be transferred from the energized circuit to the other circuit. When circuits are placed in resonance they are said to be coupled to each other. This coup ling may be accomplished with induc- tance coils, as, shown in Figure One, with condensers, or with one coil of wire common to both circuits. When separate inductance coils are used, the circuits are said to be inductively coupled. When condensers are used, the circuits are capacitatively coupled. When one coil common to both circuits Is used, the circuits are conductively coupled. For convenience, let us. use ,inductively coupled sets during this discussion. -. :.
 With reference once more to Figure One, we see that oscillations are set up by the circuit in section 2 every time the key in the primary circuit,
 (Section 1), is closed, as previously If the ,antenna circuit, (Section 8, is now placed in resonan- ce with the oscillatoryl circuit, (Sec- ton; 9, the radiated energy of the circuit of section 2 will be transferred to the circuit of section l. If the de

Due to this passage of electrons, a current of electricity is set up in the circuit composed of the plate, bridging condenser, induetance, and filament. The motor-generator set, MIG, places a high positive po- ,tential on the plate which attracts the ,electrons, but they cannot pass through the radio frequency choke coil, \, due to the high reactance. of the coil, choosing the path throu gh the condenser instead. The current. so generated, passing through the wind
 ings. of the lower part of the induc-
 tance, induces a potential in the up
 per part of the windings so tn tat the grid end of the winding becomes posi-
 tive. This causes the coil side of the grid condenser to be. charged nega-
 lively; the grid side of this condenser to be positively charged; and the grid Itself to be negatively charged. Be
 cause the grid becomes negatively
 charged, it repels the electrons, de-
 creasing their rate of flow, and there

fore decreasing the current flowing, in the late-inductance-filament circuit. The decrease of the current flow through the .inductance causes a re- versaI of the polarity of the upper half of the inductance, and thereby causes the grid to become strongly positive. The grid becoming strongly positive, greatly increases the. rate of flow of the electrons, thereby increas- ing the flow of current through the plate circuit, which is the beginning of another cycle. 1t is noted that these oscillations have the energy of the motor-generator set added to them, although they cannot get to the set themselves. Since energy is added to each oscillation, the oscillations are undamped. ,., . ,.j.... ....,. ,'., These oscillations transfer their energy to the antenna circuit through
 the inductance. It is seen that the an
 tenna circuit is conductively coupled
 to the generating circuit in this dia-
 gram. From the antenna circuit the waves are radiated into the ether. The frequency of the generating cir
 cult is governed by the bridging con, Cdenser and the inductance, and the
 grid condenser. The frequency of the
 antenna circuit is governed by the in ductance and the antenna series con-
 denser. The coupling of the two cir cults depends upon the number of turns of wire common to both circuits. The grid leak, a very high resistance,
 permits the electrons which are trap

 .n. By having switch so arranged that the amount of inductance in the cir cults can be varied, telegraphic sig nals may be permitted, the n signals heard on one wave length being read,
 and the signals on the other wave length (due to the change in the in ductance of the circuits) being disre-
 garded. .,3iiju MgGJ so> yr,y ..sl .eufri The diagram shows the method of transmitting the voice tones. Any change in the amplitude of the radiat-
 ed waves will cause a difference in
 the tone of the received signal. The best method for producing this change
 of amplitude to conform with the i voice, is the use of the magnetic mod
 ulator. This instrument is somewhat similar to Transformer. A,telephone transmitter is connected through a battery to one coil of the incubator, | and the other coil connected in series I with the rest of the 1antenna circuit.
 If any energy is taken from the rad
 lated waves, their amplitude changes.
 When the diaphragm of the telephone
 transmitter is moved by the voice
 waves, it varies the resistance of the
 local telephone circuit, causing a change of the amount of current flow I ing through the one set of windings I in the modulator.! This causes a change of potential in the coil which is in series with the antenna and ground, and so reduces the energy being rad lated. AS these changes. in the rad lated energy follow the voice waves in

Continuous waves whose amplitudes are So modulated may be received with certain types of apparatus, and when so received and transformed to audio frequencies will produce tones similar in every respect to those which were transmitted.
 There are several methods of mod ulation of continuous waves, and sev- eral types of voice meditation in par ticular. The method and type here de- scribed, that of voice meditation with the magnetic incubator, is perhaps the most common system at this time, and as it is by this means. that the several broadcasting stations are transmitting concerts, this system is probably of greatest interest at this time. 35@ >.-s#.

air is so great that the electrons soon
 stop. There being no air in the
 vacuum tube, when the filament is
 heated, the electrons will fly to all
 parts of the tube. As the electrons are small charges of negative electric
 ity, all parts of the tube, and the ele-
 ments in it, soon become charged with
 negative electricity, Since negative electricity repels charges of negative electricity, the repulsive effect of the negative charge given to the grid, plate, and sides of the tube soon be- comes so great that no more electrons can escape from the filament. Now, if the positive terminal of a battery is connected to the plate, the plate becomes positively charged and attracts the electrons. If the, nega- tive terminal of the battery is, con nected to the filament, it is seen that the electrons, when they are thrown from the filament, will be attracted to the plate, will pass through the con meeting wire to the battery and so back to the filament. When electrons complete circuit in one direction, it is said that an electric current is flow ing in the opposite direction. If we place delicate ampere' meter in the 1, circuit between the battery and the plate, the Reflection of the needle will indicate the amount of current flow ing over the electron path from the plate to the filament. Now if the grid is charged with positive electric ity, it will add it's force to the posi- tive charge of the plate and so in- crease the force attracting the "nega- lively charged electrons. Due to this added force, the speed of the move ment of the electrons is accelerated, and so more electrons, pass a given point in a given time. Due to its con- struction, the grid offers but little obstruction to the great number of electrons, and so chiefly acts as a pump. If the grid were negatively charged, it would repel the electrons and so keep them from reaching the plate, and hence the current flowing through the plate circuit would be stopped. With this theory of the ac- tion of the vacuum tube in mind, the action of the tube when used as a generator of continuous oscillations may be understood. t5 N,ih.q4 .a,
