RADIO
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
 TROUBLE-SHOOTING
How to Detect and Remedy the
 Open Circuit, Short Circuit and Leakage.

Radio circuits are subject to the same ills that the ordinary power circuits are subject to. However, to g cure them Is not such difficult task as might be supposed, especially if some logical procedure Is used.
 If a receiver Is we'll put together in the first place and all contacts and other parts gone over once in a while, there IS, no reason why there should be any trouble. But the human be- ing is prone to err, so that for the "once, in 8 while" that is liable to hap pen, this article will be devoted to the explanation of what might happen to simple receiver and the best way to fix 1t. >~
 The usual troubles of the receiver fall under one of the following three headings: tr<
 1-An open circuit.
 "A short circuit.
 3-Leakage.
 An open circuit can most easily be detected by means of a series lamp. Nearly every one has available the or dinary no volt lighting circuit. Take an ordinary extension cord and cut one wire at any convenient place and use these two ends as test clips or tips. The extension cord Is plugged into the house Nghting circuit at any convenient outlet and when the two cut ends are held together the lamp will light as the circuit is closed. When the tips are held open the cir cult is r"open" and the light will go out.
 Suppose 1t is desIred to test for an open circuit in a tuning coil. Connect one tip to one; end of the winding and the other test clip to the slider. AS the

TIPS TO THE RApIoIsT.

The higher the aerial the stronger the signals. An increase of five to ten feet in the height of the fiat top aerial will in- crease signals.
 Addition of a variable con- denser to the secondary or to the primary of a loose coupler often helps to tune out the undesired signals.
 The sfiders on tuning coils of ten make poor contacts with the slide rod. Thus much of the signal strength is lost. You can overcome this by soldering a flexible wire to the slider.
 Increase length of spreaders of two. three or four-wire aerials from six to ten fees for best results. Each wire should be from -four to six feet from its neighbor. Two wires one. or two feet apart are no. better than one wire. Likewise four wires on short spreaders are no bet ter than one wire.

ANTS ON MARCH
Seeming Proof That Instinct Is
 Not InfaIIibIe.
emaII Creatures Dragged Themselves
 to Death Because No One of Them . i. Had, Any Initiative.

At six o'clock in the morning I was starting for a swim In a British Guiana jungle when, at the foot of the laboratory steps saw swiftly moy- ing, broad line of army ants on safart, passing through the compound to the beach. I traced them back under the servants quarters, through two clumps of bamboos, to an outhouse.
 Later, followed along the column down to the river sandT through a dense mass of underbrush, through a hollow log, up the bank, back through light jungle-to the outhouse again; and on large fallen log, few feet beyond the spot where their nest had been, the ends of the circle actu- ally came together. It was the most astonishing thing, and had to verify 1t again and again before could be- heve the evidence of my eyes.
 It was a strong column, six lines wide in many places, and the ants fully believed that they were on their way to pew home; for most were carrying eggs or larvae, although many had food. For an hour, at noon, during heavy rain, the column weakened and almost disappeared but when the sun returned, the lines .rejoined, and the revolution of the vicious circle con tinued.
 Careful measurement of the great circle showed a circumference of 1.2OG feet. We timed the laden ants and found that they averaged two to two and three-quarters inches second. SC a given individual would complete thu round in about two hours and half
 All the afternoon the insane circle revolvd; at midnight, the hosts were still moving; the second morning man. had weakened and dropped their bur dens and the general pace had yer! appreciably slackened. But still tn blind grip of instinct held them. On n, on, they must go! Always befor M their nomadic life there had bee q Roal-a sanctuary of hollow tree onng heart of bamboos; surely thi eoExible grind must end somehow.

 If a buzzer and battery are avail able they can be used in testing for an open circuit in the same way that the lamp can be used. Connect the battery and buzzer in series with the test clips or tips and any low resist ance circuit can be tested.
 The ground connections can be tested with a buzzer and battery, but do not use the house-lighting circuit to test for grounds because one side Of the lighting circuit is already grounded and if the other side were connected to the ground a short cir cult would exist and an excessive cur rent flow.
 If the ground wire Is connected to the water pipe, connect one test tip to the ground and the other to the gas pipe, which is also grounded. The buzzer should buzz if one has a good low resistance ground.

cess, replied that some of them would give excellent results if carried out, but 1t was generally impossible to get them to function, for lack of the driv- ing power and balancing influences that are found fn the regular bull as- gociation.
 These ideas" he said, -are all right, but they have no working agree ments ner plans of procedure to prop erly regulate their operation. The ex- perience of the department Is that such attempts are useless for general adop- tion, unless organized in a practical, definite, businesslike way by person of experience who can break down the prejudices of Individuals. When such a person undertakes the organization of a cooperative breeding enterprise in a given locality, he generally finds it easier and more beneficial to form g. regular cooperative bull associa- tion than a partnership of the type in- dicated.

in through the wall, insulate it we'll and inside the station use as short a piece of well-insulated wire as is pos sible to make good connection with the set. ga
 To test the continuity of the cir cult of a pair of telephone receivers, touch the tips of the cord phone to the tongue. If the receivers are in reason ably good condition slight click will be heard. If the response in one re- ceiver seems to be weaker than that in the other,> examine the diaphragm of the receiver giving the weaker re- sponse and see if 1t is bent toward the pole piece. Try tuning the diaphragm over If such Is the case. Be careful when the diaphragm of~a receiver is removed that the leads of fine wire from the magnet spools to the con- hection blocks do not become broken in handling.
 If the continuity of the circuit of 6 pair of telephone receivers is checked and no response is heard when the cord tips are touched to the tongue try checking each receiver of double head set separately. .,"
 The two receivers are connected in series and to check either one sep arately, short circuit the tips of the cord leading to the other receiver just outside of the case. Should 1t appear that there is an open circuit in the cord, short circuit both receivers where the cord enters the case and with @ buzzer or lamp connected to the tips op the end of the cord test for an opeh circuit.
 Care should be exercised by the operator when adjusting a crystal de- ,tector to see that his fingers do not touch the surface of the crystal or the contact point of the little spring. The oil secretion that exists in the skin together with the dust that 1t collects will render a crystal detector inopera- tive by the insulating film that 1t will cause to form on the portion of the crystal surface that is touched. Should the surface Of the crystal get dirty as evidenced by the received signals becoming weaker and weaker, try cleaning the crystal with alcohol and a little brush. Or if this does not seem to remedy the trouble, chip off old sur face so that an entirely new surface Is presented to the spring. a
