SUN DUST is A "RADIO NET"
London Professor Evolves Novel The
Dry 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.
J. 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 wave used for
long-distance work-which are about
ten miles in length-to travel 5000 and
1900 miles.
If it we're not for that screen, ac-
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.

How Bio Is an EIectron?

One very noteworthy experiment In
measuring an ~electron was performed
by an American, Professor Millikan Of
Chicago. He introduced a minute drop
of oil of about 1-1O,OOOth inch In diam
eter in a chamber between two plates
whose electrical charge vas subject to
control. The drop Of oil was strongly
illuminated and was viewed with a
telescope. BY controlling the poten-
tials Of the plates the oil drop could
be made 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, MiIlikan was able to deter
mine very accurately the charge added
to It by its picking up n electron.

TIPS FOR FANS

A meeting Of representatives
of stations within $50 meters of
New York and New Jersey was
called to prevent radio liam"
in the air. Some of the sweet
things that come through must
have gummed up the ether.
For use across the secondary
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
ondary circuit, the better will
the set work.
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.
The so-called Spaghetti" tub
ing, if placed over bare wire
used in wiring a set, will i'm
prove the appearance 100 per
cent and reduce the danger of
short circuits.
More and more are the radio
fans turning to radio-frequency
application instead Of audio-
frequency. The chief reason for
this lies In the fact that In
radio-freQuency application the
incoming signals are amplifed
before they reach the detector,
where they are rectified, while
In audio-frequency they are am
plifed after reaching the de-
tector. In the first method sig
nails that are very weak are
brought il, whereas in the lat
ter method they would probably
not be heard.
