have taps of wire OF brass strip con-
nected to certain cells in the group,
different manufacturers have their
own details Of construction.
For voltages in excess of that fur
nlshed by block of "B" battery two
or more blocks may be connected in
series for use with simplifying tubes
which require voltages of forty or
sixty volts or more The same plate
battery may be used for both the de-
tector tube and the ampiifier tubes by
merely taking tap off at the proper
point for the detector tube.
Another type of plate battery is the
storage cell variety, which may be
either of the lead-acid or the alkaline
cell type. The storage battery for
plate purposes consists of a container
in which are a sufficient number of
small storage cells to give the required
plate voltage. This type of plate bat
terry has the advantage of being ca
pable of recharging a feature not
present in the "'B" battery of the dry
cell block type. The dry cell plate bat
terry however, will render good service
for from six months to year or more
dependent upon the time actually in
use.

The plate battery is connected
across the plate and flament, in Sc
ries with the telephone receivers and
the plate feed back or "tickler" coil
in the case of regenerative receiving
systems. The positive terminal of the
plate battery is connected to the plate,
no signals being heard in the tele-
phones if the polarity is reversed. The
current which flows from the plate to
the filament through the vacuum tube
is very small compared to the current
consumed by the filament of vacuum
tube and therefore plate battery Of
small ampere hour capacity is sutfl-
Gent to furnish current for months.
1t will be recalled that the vacuum
tube detector functions in q manner
different from the crystal detector. The
signal which impinges on an antenna
system does not actuate the telephone
receivers but serves merely as a trlg-
ger to control the flow of plate current.
In other words, a small change in the
voltage impressed upon the grid re-
suits in large change in the current
flowing in the plate circuit.

made up of number of small dry
cells sealed in a block with an insu'
lating compound. There are usually
fifteen such dry cells in unit, all con-
nected in series giving total voltage
for the block of twenty-five and enc
half volts. This voltage Is sufficient
for the satisfactory operation of most
detector tubes, some requiring even
less voltage, in which case advantage
is taken of the taps taken from inter
mediate cells to secure lower volt
age. These taps are usually IN the
form of sockets connected to each cell
of the block into which plugs can be
inserted giving variations in voltage
from one and one-half to twenty-five
and one-half volts in steps OF one and
one-half volts. Another method is to

RADIO MUSIC FROM STEEL
STACK

Cleaners in a big steel smoke-stack
near Greenville, Ala, hurried into the
open air when they heard q band play
Dixie. They were unable to locate
the band and it is believed that wire
less waves were responsible for the
phenomenon.
The big metal stack supported by
guy wires apparently operated as a
complete receiving set and reproduced
the notes and musical airs of nearby
radio concert.

New York, Jan. 25.-The action
OF today's stock market was in de-
eided contrast TO the closing days
OF las, week, lrregularity prevailed
throughout the session aud changes
were Tor the most part represented
IN fractions. Furthermore, the
volume was not large and there was
every evidence that something OF a
waiting situation had been brought
about. Other financial markets were
also without any degree oil buoyancy.
The foreign exchanges moved with
in narrow limits: an early rise OF
prices in the grain market failed TO
be maintained, aud cotton was dis
tinctly heavy. The bond market also
marked time, except for a eontinua-
ton OF interest in the local traction
issues, which followed the optimistic
statement OF Frank Hcdey made late
Friday afternoon and the French is
sues were under pressure in sntici-
patton of competition with the De-
partment OF the Seine offering OF
S25,000,000 distributed TO dealers to-
day by the syndicate handling the
issue. ''F
Today the character OF events was de-
eidedly changed. the rumors were almost
niI and there was less apparent endeaNpr
made TO bolster up speculative sentiment.
Reports OF further encroachment OF salt
water In the Mexican oil fields again
came to hand hut the market for the
most part ignored the news from Mexico
on heavy trading Mexican petroleum
showed loss OF less than half point,
which would indicate. perhaps, that this
stock in trade weapon OF spectators Tor
the decline is beginning to lose its power
to force liquidation.
The censug bureau'ss report on cotton
ginned prior 10 January lG showed 7,9l5.-
S71 bales. This was about in line with
What had been expected. This compares
with ginnings of 7,s44,s72 up TO January
J. The ginnings between January ! ana
January IS amounted to 1859 bales, or
tho smallest total for the same period That
has been recorded in many years. Today's
figures had little effect in the market.
They simply served TO emphasize still
further how great was the error OF the
Department OF Agriculture in estimating
thc crop at 6.5S1,0O0 bales as of septe'I-
Der 20 last year.
