Detects Radio Signals
Through Sense of Taste

In a recent issue of Proceedings
of the Institute OF Radio Engineers
there ar described certain expert
ments made to determine the feast
bility of reception of radio telegraph
signals by the sense Of taste. Silver
electrodes were used. one of which
made contact with the inner part Of
the upper lip OF his tongue. With a
direct-current circuit it was found
that the observer could detect a po-
tential difference across the eltc-
trodes of 04 volt.
A potential difference of 30 volts
was considered sufficient for the
Transmission of signals. With an
alternating-curren circuit these
values were not very much different,
but the element of fatigue did not
seem to be so noticeable and the taste
sensation appeared to be more con-
tinuous. In actual experiments using
radio reception and fourstage ampli-
fication, it was found possible to de-
tect signals the audibility of which
i'm the detector circuit was 500 or
more. 1t was also found possible
to tune in a station by noting when
the intensity of the taste sensation
was a maximum. But for messages
to be read he speed must not be
greater than 10 words a minute.

to Washington Sunday, March 26,
to fill a weeks engagement at the
Strand Theater.
Gilbert is the composer of songs
that last, particularly ;his "Waitin'
for the Robert E. Lee" and IF
You Like Me Like 1 Like You"
As a vaudeville artist, his fame is
wide, for he sings his own songs
in an able fashion. promising real
entertainment to those who are
fortunate in having radio sets to
listen to the treat.
Aside from his professional trend
Gilbert is a real radio fan, having
installed a sensitive receiving set
at his New York home. The set
is equipped with three steps of
audion amplification. However, in
addition to the amusement 1t pro-
vides the set has a far greater
meaning to Gilbert for whenever
he sings to a radio audience he
knows that his mother Is listening
at home to the voice of her boy
who may be hundreds of miles
away. Once, when singing for
broadcasting, those who were list
ening heard his voice say, "If you
can hear me. mother. you can tell
l have a cold, but it isn't bad: it'll
be all right in the morning." The
mother heard, but she probably
regretted not being able to say,
Now you be sure and take care of

MASON GETS UNIQUE
TRIBUTE BY RADIO
Lodge Brothers Arrange Sur.
prise for Fellow-Mem-
Der at Dinner.

Not So long ago Masons of a high
nooga, Tenn. in honor of another
member of the lodge who had just
been advanced to the thirty-third
degree. They desired to give an
unusual honor to this gentleman
and so got in touch with the radio
division of the Westinghouse COM
pany with a request for a special
talk by a well-known Pittsburgh
Mason. And this actually occurred
After the regular radiophone con-
cert hour had passed the speaker
went to the broadcasting booth at
East Pittsburgh and at $50 p. m.
started his talk. OF course. the
men in Chattanooga had turned in
for this moment and soon the voice
of the Pittsburgher filed the meet
ing room in Chattanooga with Ma
sonic greetings.
1t was, perhaps, the first time in
history that such a fraternal greet
ing had been passed. Needless to
say all those interested in the
meeting and the speaker himself
received many congratulations for
their feat, yet owing to the radio
telephone it was not a mysterious
performance, Dut rather one which
in a short time will be common.
Gypsy Smith came to Pittsburgh
as an honored guest of the min
listers of this district. Mr.. Smith
Is known all over the world as one
of the most inspired evangelists
that ever went campaigning for
Christianity. His headquarters we're
in Motor Square Garden. which
seats a large number Of people.
1t is true. yet enough people to fill
the garden to overf1owing heard the
pleas of Gypsy Smith every night
of his stay in Pittsburgh. The
evangelist spoke not only to the
uplifted faces in front of him, but
also into transmitter, which,
through virtue of a direct telephone
line connection with the East Pitts
burgh broadcasting station, carried
the message out into the air, where
1t was picked up on thousands of
radio receiving sets. The audience
each night and afternoon amounted
to many thousands, of which only
C small portion actually were in
the auditorium. Can it be doubted
that the message of the evangelist
reached more hearts through the
radio telephone than possibly
through any other agency of mod
ern times? The radio telephone in
this instance became an aggressive
agency for good.

Outside Sounds Drowned,

+ The loud-speaker is virtually the
backbone of successful radiophone
reception. When wearing head re-
ceivers one is apt to hear too many
of the disturbances( and howls ex-
isting in the variots circuits, es-
pecially IL the signals are brought
up loud. However, with the loud
speaker in operation 1t is generally
possible to hear the voice or music
loud and clear above the parasitic
sounds. which makes the radio
phone service all the more popular
and enjoyable.
