Aerials are most peculiar affairs and
a little experimenting will enable you
to determine the best size, height and
type to use. 1t Is well known that
wireless waves are directive, or in 9th
er words, that they travel more strong
ly in one direction away from the send
ing aerial than In others and while
this has been largely obviated ila up
to-date stations, yet the ordinary re-
ceiving aerial Is directive and will
get stronger signals If the lead-in Is

filled with charcoal and buried at least
five feet under the surface Of the
earth. A lightning rod or fire escape
will sometimes make a very good
ground. But 1t is not so much what
you use for ground as how good
the connections are and how we'll the

electric light or telephone, telegraph

Geographic spark signals from some
station and yet, merely by altering
the direction Of their aerial or the po-
sition Of the lead-in they could hear
everything perfectly. So you see a
great deal may depend upon the simple
aerial, even If 1t consists Of only
single wire. On the other hand, many
amateurs have obtained splendid re-
suits with wire run around the walls

One Of the greatest advantages of
wireless telephone receivers is that an
elaborate or expensive aerial is not
required. Although good sets with
vacuum bulb detectors may be used
with an indoor aerial, or even with
bedstead or wire springs as an
aerial, yet an outside aerial will al
ways give better results. As I have
already mentioned, single wire will
do as we'll as several, the main thing

WILLISTON PIONEER
DIED IN WASHINGTON

Williston, Dec. 1.--Word was re-

Of K. c. Mathews, pioneer resident Of
the city Of Williston, who expired that
morning at Wcnatchee, Wash, where
he had gone with his wife to spend
The winter in hopes OF regaining his
health.
The announcement Of Mr.. Matthew'S
death comes as a shock to his many
friends and associates Of this section
of the country. Mr.. Mathews came to
this section of the country Al years
ago and was the first white settler to
locate near the site where the city of
Williston now stands. During his life
ne watched the advancement Of this
country from the barren prairie of the
past to the productive and fourishing
agricultural section as it is today and
saw the modern buildings replace the
Indian tcpees and log cabins.
