them. No eyes are sharper than those
of Sammy Jay. Every day Sammy
visits the Old Orchard and Farmer
Browns dooryard. or course. he saw
that wire pen in the henyard ana
wondered what it was for. The next
morning he was there bright and
early. At once he saw the holes
Peter had dug trying to get out.
"Ha." exclaimed Sammy. some
body is a prisoner in there. and that
somebody is one who can dig. Now |
wonder who it can be? l wonder if
Johnny Chuch or one of his children
has been caught by Farmer Brown s
Boy Probably it is one OF his
children Johnny is too smart to be
caught. I'll have to keep an eye on
this. certainly will"
Straight from Farmer Browns over
TO the dear Old Briar patch flew
Sammy. He knew that Johnny
Chnck was living there. Sammy
didn't say anything; he simply sat
quietly in q little tree in the middle
of the Old Briar-patch. All the time
he was looking everywhere. He saw
Johnny and Polly Chuck. He saw
the four young Chucks. He knew
that Johnny and Polly had only four
children. Sammy scratched his head.
He was puzzled. Somehow it always
helps to think better when he's puZ
zled If he scratches his head. He saw
Mrs Peter and he saw her five little
bunnies, but he didn't see Peter. still
this was nothing strange Peter was
often away from the dear Old Briar-
patch as Sammy well knew. So
Sammy didn't give Peter another
thought.
The remainder of that day Sammy
Jay spent where he could watch that
pen in Farmer Browns henyard. APP
parently no one was In II. Not a
sign of any one did he see. Twice he
few down on a post of the henyard
and tried to look in the little round
doorway of the box in one end of the
pen. OF course, he couldn't see be-
yond the doorway because it was
dark inside. He hoped whoever was
a prisoner there would peek out. But
no one did.
Now once Sammy Jays curiosity is
aroused he doesn't easily give up. He
was back there early the next morn
ing. He hung around there most OF
that day 1t was the same on the
He knew there was prisoner there,
for he saw Farmer Browns Boy put
food in that pen. and each morning
that food was gone.
Then one morning Sammy got over
there extra early. The Black Shad-
est when Sammy started for Farmer
Browns henyard He got there just
in time to see something white dis
appear inside the little box. He
knew what that white thing was. He
had seen it too often to make any
mistake 1t was. the tail OF Peter
Rabbit.
For once Sammy Jay was speech
less. Peter Rabbit was the prisoner!
There couldn't be any doubt about
it. What news to spread through
the Green Forest and over the Green
Meadows!

THREE RADIO COMPASS
POSTS IN MICHIGAN
Navy Department Announces Com.
pletion of Important Lake
Stations.

Three new radio compass stations In
Michigan have just been completed by
the Navy Department. They are at
Grand Marais. Whitefish Point and
Point Detour. where they will serve the
ships that pass back and forth through
Sault Ste Marie from Lake Superior to
Lake Huron-a dangerous passage and
one marked by the remains of many
wrecks caused chiefly by fogs.
With the three compass stations in
operation 1t should now be a simple
matter for ali mariners to secure fire.

A naval subchaser. on a recent cruise
into Lake Superior, made a test run for
Marais ana Whitefish Point which work
together Off the northwestern entrance
| Of the strait, and has reported the job
completed and the stations ready for
work as soon as the personnel is
assembled.
Naval radio stations guard all the
ships on the great lakes. and it is
virtually impossible for mariners
equipped with wireless to get lest in
the lakes today. The completion of
the three stations finishes a chain of

which have toothed edges. The two
toothed edges are thus opposite each
other and separated by the carborun-
dunn. Heavy discharges. such as
lightning, cause sparks between the
toothed copper edges. and the dis
charges are also conducted to ground
through the carborundum to ground.
discharges. caused by static electric
ity upon the antenna, are conducted
thrugh tho carborundum to ground.
The wheel is not solid carborundum,
but is a mixture of pulverized car
borundum and clay. The carborun-
uum particles arrange themselves so
that the resistance OF the wheel is
very high to small signal currents,
but allow comparatively heavy cur
rents to pass from particle to par
ticle and thence to ground.
This type of arrester is very sensi =
tive to lightning induction and does
it's work very well. 1t is found. how
ever, that when ii is used close by a
transmitting station there is posi-
bility of some conduction to ground
of the signal current. In most cases
this would not be disadvantageous.
since the signals would be loud
enough for all practical purposes.
One advantage claimed in this con-
nection is the grounding of static and
a diminishing of its effect upon a re-
ceiving set. If this advantage is
really practical 1t might well be of
considerable benefit in reducing the
disturbing noises due to static in the
summer time.

RADIO EXPLAINED
~ By F. H LEWIS
INSTRUCTOR NEW YORK YMC.A. RADIO SCHOOL
Simple Detection in a Vacuum
Tube Circuit.

When a battery whose voltage is
ton with a fixed resistance "a SIM
pie series circuit) the strength of the
current flowing depends directly upon
the battery voltage. according to
/ Ohm's law. That is, doubling tho
battery voltage doubles the current.
BY referring to the characteristic
| curve of a given vacuum tube under
given conditions of plate potential
, and f1ament current. however, it Will
be seen that plate current does not
increase directly with grid potential. /.
! AT some points the increase OF plate
current will be comparatively large
for small increase in grid potential,
while at others it will not be SO large.
Instead of being straight line. then.
this characteristic curve is bent and
considerably more so at its lower
and upper ends than at-its middle
portion. In fact, it may be compara-
lively straight at its middle part. The
| curve is a graphical representation
of the variation Of plate current, with
grid potential changes.
If the grid is connected directly to
the negative end of the flament
through the coil there will be no cur
rent in the grid circuit There will
be a plate current Of certain value.
however, since the plate is positively
charged by the plate battery If an
incoming wireless signal causes an
Induced voltage in the grid circuit.
this voltage will be alternately posi-
tive and negative. The grid will then
likewise be alternately charged posi-
lively and negatively. When it is
positive electrons will go to the grid
and a grid current flows which in
creases in strength with the positive
charge. 1t Is important to note, how
ever, that when the grid current flows
electrons are going to the grid, and.
being negative charges, are canceling
the positive potential applied to the
grid. The actual potential of the grid
does not therefore. rise to as high a
value as that Of the potential applied.

Whate'er you do don't he spy

Peter Rabbit was prisoner in a
wire pen inside Farmer Browns hen
yard. 1t was not only the loss Of
freedom that made Peter feel badly,
but also a sense of shame. Peter was
ashamed TO think that he had been
caught. He didn't want any of his
friends to know that he had been
SO careless. So for the first few days
Peter kept inside the box which had
been put there for him, and so was
out of sight. He came out only at
night.
But there are sharp eyes among
the little people of the Green Forest.

dows. and there is little that escapes

chance. says the consul, particularly on
the remote island of Gomera, to compete
with the 'whistling language" of the
natives. The inhabitants of this isalnd,
by use of a system of whistling signals,
can convey bits of news and information
over considerable distances with great
rapidity. The system dates back hun

In fact, when the tube Is operated in
this manner the positive applied po-
tential does not cause much increase In
plate current because the actual posi-
tive grid potential does not increase
much, II any. When the grid is
charged negatively during the next half
cycle Of alternating applied voltage no
electrons can reach the grid. and the
actual negative potential Of the grid
increases with the applied voltage. The
plate current then decreases moro than
It increased in the previous case. Dur
ing successive alternations Of applied
potentials the Same thing OCCURS over
and over. 20 that II the applied voltage
Is eventually damped out, the plate
current eventually returns to its nor
NAL value because the grid potential
has returned to zero. 1t is to be noted
that when the grid Is positive and a
grid current flows. the alternating cur
rent in the coil and condenser circuit
