GREAT Plant IN MELBOURNE
Australian City Is Building Radio Sta.
ton for Direct Communication
With Great Britain.

The work of establishing the nam
nioth Australian radio station in Mel
huurne for direct communication with
Great Britain has been begun.
The subsintons f1r overseas traffic
Will be about three times as powerful
us any European station today. 1t will
take two years before the central and
feeder stations are completed. AS n
normal perfornancr the chief station
will be able to speak direct over l2,-
300 miles for the greater part OF any
working day.
Receiving and sending stations to
correspond will be built in Canada dur
ing the same period. The plant for
the main station will be imported
from England, but the plant for the
feeder stations will be manufactured
in Australia, one for each of the
states.
The combined cost OF all these sta
tlons will be about $5.OOO,OOO. The
main station will consist Of II trans.
mittcr and receiver terminal thirty
miles apart, the latter including TWEEN
ty-fous. towers each 800 feet high
spread over Il square mile.
The wireless rates will be One-third
less than the present cable rntes to
Europe.

called eiectrons. The apparent mass
Of an elcctron Is about one-eightcen-
hundreth pnrt Of that OF an atom OF
hydrogen which Is the smallest of the
chemical atoms.
According to the electron theory
al atom consists of definite num-
btr OF electrons grouped around a
Nucleus having n positive charge and
Sc long us none of the component
eI ,rtrons nre driven from the atom,
til latter possess no detectable charge.
TX positive charge on the nucleus Is
said to be exactly neutralized by the
ne sative charges on the electrons
grouped about 1t.
suppose now that by some means
nj electron can be detached from the
nj om. Then the atom becomes what
is known as n positive ion and 1t ex-
hioits the properties of positively
Charged body, or in other words since
nr electron which carries negative
charge has been removed from the
atom which has equal positive and
negative charges. the portion of the
atom now remaining has n deficiency
of negative charge and acts like any
positively charged body.
On the other hand II some force can
be brought to bear that will add an
electron to n normal atom which Is
neutral as far as electrical charges
nre measured, the result will be n ne
gatiye ion, which will possess all the
properties OF n negatively charged
xryl,t IN n
deficiency of electrons Is called pos
tive ion and one having excess OF
elcctrons Is called negative ion.
Since ench electron carries ne
sltive charge of electricity an cleo
tfon represents n certain quantity OF
electricity. Forcing electrons to move
from one point to another causes
electricity to flow. The ability of any
medium 10 conduct electricity or allow
currert to flow through 1t depends
upon The number of free electrons
available as carriers of charges.
II has been known for many years
that the space surrounding piece of
heated metal Is a conductor of
electricity. 1t has been demonstrat-
ed more recently that this is due to the
release of electrons and TINT II an

ADVICE FOR AMATEURS.

The voltages applied to the
plate circuits OF nmplifying
tubes are not extremely critical
and one voltage control will suf-
flee. The detector tube, how
ever, is often very critical and
an efficient potentiometer will
work wonders in controlling It.
Apparatus used for the recep-
ton of broadcasting is exactly
the same us that used for the
reception Of code signals. The
transmitting equipment, how
ever, Is different.
The use Of single wire for
reception is advantageous be-
cause 1t lessons the amount Of
objectionnl interference In the
way of static. 1t Is equally as
good as n multiple wire system
for reception.
Defective "B" batteries will
often cause roaring In the tele-
phone receivers.
The electron often talked
about Is the smallest known
quantity of negative electrical
energy. In motion 1t makes up
the electric current.
A "soft" vacuum tube is used
as n detector tube and a "hard"
vacuum tube as an amplifier.
The terms "hard" and soft"
refer to degree of evacuation.
Radio waves travel at the
same speed rs light, namely
$4,000 miles per second
A wavemeter Is an instru-
ment used for checking up the
wave lengths of sending and re-
ceivIng stations.
Gas pipe or water pipe sys-
TENS may be used for grounds,
the latter being more advisable.
Lightning protection secured
by grounding the antenna when
not In use Is essential and ID re-
quired by the underwriters.

Concerning the General Sessions
situation the union said:
despite the fact that there are two
vacancies on the General Sessions
Court bench, the Citizens Union this
year makes but one recommendation
It has indorsed Judge Robert S. john

candidates he is best fitted by charac
the position on the General Sessions
bench.
"The Citizens Union deplores the
fact that the Democrats failed to nonl-
mate Judge Johnstone, one of their
own party, appointed last winter to
the bench by Governor Miller. The
Citizens Union recognizes the fact
that Morris Koeni1,, nominated OH both
Republican and Democratic tickets, has
during two brief periods of service on
the bench by appointment filled the
position with intelligence and salts
faction. A year ago, when he was a
candidate rOr the same position, the
Citizens Union indorsed him. Our in
dorsement is withheld this year solely
on the ground that his nomination by
the Democratic party, however much
deserved because Of personal merit,
was unquestionably involved in the
understanding by which the Republi-
cans failed to indorse Surrogate
Cohalan.
Recognizing the experience of JUS
tice Collins during his ten years. sery-
ice on the Special Sessions bench, the
Citizens Union is nevertheless OF the
opinion that his qualifications for this
Office are inferior to those of his
opponents"
Another Tammany judiciary candi-

report said that his only qualification
was that he was son Of the Tammany
