ENGLISH FAKER HAD GENIUS
More Than Century and Half Ago
He Made Big Money With His
Celestial Bed"

One Of the most brazen takers In
history was Doctor Graham, who, In
1779, opened Temple of Health" in
London. He had recently come from
America and had somewhere picked
up an elementary knowledge of cleo
tricity, or at least it's terminology. He
had at his temple celestial bed"
which, If sick person slept in it, was
advertised to be sure cure.
This woodworking piece Of fur
niture was made by one Denton, on
Doctor Graham's order. 1t was beau
tifully carved, covered with silk dam
ask, supported by % glass pillars. and
surmounted by a richly carved and
gilt canopy from which crimson cur
tains with fringe and tassel were sus-
pended.
In his advertisement he claimed !:
"This bed is magnetico-electric. In a
neighboriEg closet is placed cylinder
by which 1 communicate celestial fire
to the bedchamber, that fluid which
animates and WHITES ALL" He charged
admission to see the bed. To sleep in
it cost ESQ ($25O). Later the rate was
reduced to f25 ($125). Graham was a
skillful stage-manager and made lot
of money with his celestial bed"

High Temperatures Favor Crops.

Washington. - High temperatures
and abundant sunshine were declared
by the weather bureau in its weekly
weather and crop review to have been
generally favorable for crop growth,
cultivation and harvesting throughout
the country
Exceptions to the generally favora-
BILE conditions were noted by the bu-
reau in the extreme Northwest, where
1t was too wet, in the district from the
lake region eastward where the nights
were rather cool and in many regions
from the Ohio and Mississippi valleys
westward, where there was no need Of
additional rain.
Spring wheat generally made good
progress with beneficial rains in North
Dakota. Rain, however. was needed
in Minnesota and some parts of South
Dakota.
The crop deteriorated or made only
poor progress in Iowa for the same
reason, and in most Rocky mountain
and far northwestern districts, where
not irrigated, the same damage was
reported.
Rain was needed, according to re-
ports, in many parts of the corn belt,
including western and northern pOr-
tons of Iowa, central Illinois, north
central and western Nebraska, and
the greater part of Indiana. Rain
helped the crop in eastern Kansas,
eastern Nebraska and Missouri.

USING ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRE
Experts Tell the Safe Way to Employ
This System for Radio
Receiving.

Since the announcement that the
bureau of standards of the depart
ment Of commerce had perfected
method of employing electric light
wires in place of aerialS, considerable
experimenting has been done by vari-
Gus amateurs, some of whom have had
good luck while others succeeded
only In blowing large number of
fuses.
Engineers of an eastern electric light
company have offered the following
suggestions to amateurs:
"First-Successful results have been
obtained so far only with audion bulb
sets. Crystal sets receive the signals,
but for some reason they are very
weak and indistinct.
"Second-No set should be used on
this system without air or oil filled
condensers, placed in series with either
the antenna circuit or the ground
circuit-preferably in the antenna
circuit.
"Third-A fuse not heavier than
one-half ampere should be used in
series and just ahead Of the antenna
connection.
"Fourth-An ordinary separate de-
tachment plug. e., one with two
blades connecting the two separate
halves of the plug-is used. Only one
wire is run from this plug, the other
binding screw left undisturbed. This
single conductor wire should be long
enough to reach from a handy electric
light socket to the table where the
instrument is located and should
terminate in the fuse mentioned above
In case an externally connected con-
denser is used, the circuit should be
run from the fuse to the condenser
and from the condenser to the anten-
ma binding post of the receiving set.
SIN sets where the condenser is
built into the instrument the connec-
tion from the fuse is run directly to
the antenna binding post. All other
connections should be exactly the
same as for conventional overhead
aerial receiving.
Screw the attachment plug into
the electric light socket and tune as
usual In case no signals are received
reverse the blades in the attachment
plug by simply pulling the attachment

plate circuit current and the tube
would not function as a detector.
Fig. 10 shows how a three -electrode
vacuum tube Is connected In simple
radio receiving circuit. The "B" bat
terry furnishing the necessary plate
potential Is connected with it's posi-
tive side through the phones to the

alternating current is applied to the

connecting the negative side of the

battery a positive potential can be
applied to the grid by moving the
slider on the "C' battery potentiome-
ter up, or the grid can be made mega
tive with respect to the 1lament by
moving the slider on the "C' battery
potentiometer down.
In practice a &c" battery Is not
used to force three-electrode vac

RAIL UNIONS ARE WILLING TO
CONFER ON PROPOSALS FOR
PEACE.
is seen
MR.. HOOPER OF THE LABOR
BOARD DENIES "OUTLAW"
CHARGES.

OHIcdSO -I1Ope IOr the speedy SET
Element of the countrywide strike of
the railway shopmen was seen In
statements issued by Ben w. Hooper,
chairman of the United States rail-
road labor board, and B. M. Jewell,
leader of the shopcrafts, VINO ordered
the walkout.
In reply to a letter from Mr.. Hoop
er, which was regarded as concilia-
tory in tone, Mr.. Jewell declared that
the strikers were willing to consider
any negotiations with anyone in au-
thOrity for settlement Of the strike.
"We are willing to confer with any
body authorized by the railroads to
bring peace proposals to u.s." said
Jewell. I include or exclude no.
body, but if the labor board, for in
stance, came to us with a definite
proposition we would not hesitate to
consider it,"
Mr.. Jewell then made public for the
first time the exact figures on the
strike vote taken by the 100000 mem
bers of the six shopcrafts. The vote
was divided into three separate bal
lots, the first on accepting a $5OO,OOO,-
600 reduction in wages ordered by
the labor board, the restoration of
seven working rules altered by the
board, and, third, the abolishment of
outside contracting by the roads.
A tabulatiOn of the ballots, Mr.
Jewell said, showed 947 per cent of
the men had voted to strike on the
question of wages, the heaviest vote
for a strike being on the question
of outside contract labor which polled
97.1 per cent of the vote cast. The
ballot on rules came second with 962
for strike. Union le>1ers said that the
vote indicated the relative Importance
attached to the three points at issue
by their membership.
In railroad circles it was declared
that the way had already been cleared
for full settlement on the grayest
issue-that Of contract work-by the
agreement of twelve roads to abolish
outside contracting at the labor board
meeting when Mr. Jewell ignored an
order to appear and explain his strike
order.
Mr.. Jewell said that the interven-
tion of the board had come too late
and that the only way to prevent dis
orders was for him virtually to defy
the board, and thus let the rank and
file of the six shopcrafts organizations
involved know that their leaders had
their hands on the brakes and were in
full control of the situation.
Mr. Jewell declared that his state
ment was in the nature of an expla-
nation of labor's side of the situation
and that he was not receding from
any. of the original demands made
upon the railways. The statement
was interpreted in railway circles,
however, as clearing way to a set
tlement by negotiation, the previous
understanding being that Mr.. Jewell
would refuse to deal with the labor
board and would insist on negotia-
tions direct with the carriers.
Mr.. Hooper, in his letter to Mr.,
Jewell, denied the latter's charge that
the labor board was unfriendly to the
employees or that it had ''outlawed"
the strikers. 'It has only accepted
your own statement that the striking
men are not now employees of the car
rierS," the letter said. ''It has not,
however, used the rasping word out
law at any time"

Old Aoe Telling on Mother Earth.

Waycross, Ga.-Old age is telling on
Mother Earth and she is losing some
of her attractiveness, according to dis
covery made at Waycross recently by
scientists from Carnegie Institute.
Prof J. w. Green and w. III. Love of
the department of terrestrial magnet
ism of the Washington Institution,
making observations at the Waycross
station in an effort to determine the
circular or annual variations of the
globe, developed that the magnetic
power of the earth is decreasing. This,
the scientists stated, may be due in
part to the earth getting older. No one
knows the exact cause however, they

Urges Help for Rural Schools.

Boston.-The attention of the dele
gates to the National Editorial conven-
tion for one whole day was directed
almost entirely to the problems OF
rural life and education.
George A. Works of the New York
State College of Agriculture urged
that systems of state support be put
on such basis that the country child
may have school facilities comparable
with those of the city child.
The abolition of small district
schools and the substitution of a coun-
ty unit system was recommended by
Agnes Samuelson of Clarinda, Iowa.

U. s. Content With Dye Arrangement.

Washington. - The COMMUNICATION
from the Washington government sent
through Commissioner Boyden in re-
lation to the American attitude on dis
position of German dyes received by
the reparations commission, was de-
scribed at the State Department as not
technically a note, but merely the in
timation that the American govern
ment was content that the present ar
rangement should continue pending
action by Congress on the Shortridga
resolution.
