SEA LION BOARDS SEAPLANE
Boards Craft on Destroyer Range Near
the Coronado Islands and Re-
fuses to Get Off.

San Diego, Gala bold sea lion took
charge of seaplane, No. 3, on a
destroyer range near the Coronado
Islands recently.
The seaplane, in charge of Ensign
Edward Dolieck, alighted on the water
to wait for the destroyers to take
their position for practice, and the
side door Of the aft compartment was
open to let the gases from the engine
escape. Suddenly the ensign and his
crew were surprised to hear re-
sounding "woof'' from the compart-
ment. In 1t they found sea lion
weighing some 70 pounds which had
evidently foundered up the Incline
leading to the compartment and de
cided to remain.
The crew tried to put the sea lion
off, but he resented that attempt,
| fighting bravely. and bit .one of the
crew In the arm. Then the crew de-
cided to let him stay and piled life
preservers on him to keep him quiet.
/ In that position he was taken back to
North Island to serve a. a mascot for

more papers and reviews than any
other man. He has his own book of
press clippings shown to him every
day. besides reading carefully his own
Milanese paper, yet nothing Is allowed
to be left about. The same rule Is kept
in his study, upstairs and down. He
insists on neatness and quickness. In
day he probably examines, besides
his usual correspondence. ten very diff.
cult and serious documents, each one
being brought to him in turn.
The severity of his private rooms Is
softened by the number of flowers
placed about on his desk and on the
dining room table. He always has been
passionately fond of flowers, and in
the library at Milan he always had a
small vase with flowers in 1t. This
love of his Is so well known that on
his birthday his Milanese friends sent

Expects Instant Obedience.
Plus is an undemOnstrative man,
very calm and very sure in everything
he does but once his mind Is made up
he expects absolute and instant obe-
dience. A short while ago he notified
his valet to arrange that rooms in one
of the outer wings of the palace should
be prepared for his old housekeeper,
who was coming from Milan. This ell
derly woman, Signora Linda, was
housekeeper to the pope's mother from
his boyhood, and at the tire of the
ago, she retired to a convent, as the
pope had not then been appointed car.
dinal archbishop of Milan. When he
succeeded Cardinal Ferrari he sent
word to the Signora Linda to come
and take charge of the archiepiscopal
palace.
Soon afterward Cardinal Ratti was
elected pope. Naturally everyone
thought that she would have to re-
turn to the convent again. But Pope
Plus decided that she should come to
Rome and take care of his vestments
she might still be looked after by the
Ratti family.
When the pope's encourage heard Of
this decision they pointed out to him
that, though Plus X desired to have
his sister live in the Vatican, the OPP
position was so great that he had been
forced to arrange about taking house
in st. Peters square. For centuries
the popes have abided by this rule,

replied: "Well, we ire pope now, and
future popes can follow our example,"

How Big Is an slectronf

One very noteworthy experiment In
measuring an electron was performed
by an American, Professor Millikan Of
Chicago. He introduced minute drop
Of oil Of about 1-10,OO0th inch in diam
eter in a chamber between two plates
whose electrical charge was subject to
control. The drop Of oil was strongly
illuminated and was viewed with n
telescope. BY controlling the poten-
tails Of the plates the oil drop could
be mnde to fall or rise at will. The
drop continually picked up and lost
electrons. AS It picked up an electron 1t
would move toward the positive plate.
By carefully observing the action Of the
drop Of oil. Millikan was able to deter
mine very accurately the charge added
to'it by its picking up one electron.

SUN DUST is A "RADl0 NET"
London Professor Evolves Novel The
ory Of the Atmospheric
Envelope.

Electrified dust thrown Off by the
sun forms an atmospheric envelope
about the earth about 100 miles which
prevents wireless waves from escaping
into infinite space, according to Prof.
]. A. Fleming, University college, Lon
don, whose work In wireless Is known
all over the world.
The screen made by the dust, he
says, acts as a sort of wireless speak
ing tube and enables waves used for
long-distance work--which are about
ten miles in length-to travel 5000 and
1900 miles.
II It were not for that screen, &C.
cording to the professors theory, the
wireless energy thrown out by the
big sending towers would not cling
to the earth, but would pass away
and be lost.

TIPS FOR FANS

A meeting. of representatives

called to prevent radio "jam"

Of a tuner, such as the honey
comb coils, use a condenser Of
twenty-three plates or less. The
less capacity used In the sec

If, after wiring up a set, you
hear nothing but a steady hum
in the receivers, you may be
very sure that there is an open
circuit somewhere. Trace out
the wiring carefully and some
little fault will present itself.

More and more are the radio
fans turning to radio-frequency
amplification instead of audio-
frequency. The chief reason for
this lies In the fact that In
radiofrequency amplification the
incoming signals are amplified
before they resch the detector,
where they are rectified. while
In audio-freQuency they are am
