BALTIMORE. Md. May 1.-At.

tional sections Of two bills passed
upon the recommendation of the
Montgomery county delegation in
the legislature which would have
taken away from the state all of

moan that every other county
might have grounds to come in and
claim these funds, and that It
would mean q probable breakdown
of the whole system.
Tho bills in Question-house bills

constables to be appointed on one
date and the other three constables

ton of absorption of energy with
wave length. 1t is 1'ound that there
is somewhat less absorption of long
undamped waves than of short waves
when they are forced to travel long
distances between a sending and re-
ceiving station. The principal reason
for long waves being, used in long
distance work, however. is that they
are better adapted for use with very
high power. 1t is nlord economical to
use the longer waves in such cases.
But it is the power grnTated and
used at the sending station which has
the greatest effect in determining the
distance. Nearly as important as
the power is whether the waves are
damped or undamped. Cndaruped
waves are subject to less absorption
than damped waves and cover the
longer distances much better for the
same amount of power.
As matter of fact. if a given
transmitter is operating on a long
wave and another of the same power
is operating on short wave. it might
be found possible to receive better
through static from the latter. This
is caused by the fact that static dis
turbances,, which are due to natural
electrical disturbances in the atmos-
phere. do not seem to be SO severe
on the short waves as on the longer.

The Basket Ball Variometer.

In this new type Of variometer a
basket weave winding Is used which
is quite we'll shown in the illustra-
ton. The wire Is woven under and
over the light strip supports. and
forms are very rugged, in spite of
their light weight. One good fea-
ture is that no sliding contacts are
made, and considerable resistance Is
thereby eliminated. One Of the ad-
vantages of the construction Is the
great reduction Of energy losses SO
common In shellac, wood. varnish and
large masses of other dielectric ma
terials. 1t is claimed that the ire
ducible minimum of distributed ca
Sacity is had with the "wavy" wound
coSs OF stator and rotor and the
method OF connecting those coils to-
getfSr. A very small clearance be-
tween the rotor and stator allows a
large wave length range, from about
10 to $50 meters, without other in
ductance in a grid circuit. and from
about 10 to $50 in plate circuit.
The range is obtained almost entirely
by inductance variation rather than
by a high proportion of distributed
capacity to the inductance.
The variometer may be used for
mounting inside a cabinet set. In this
case the shaft is allowed to protrude
through the panel so that the knob
and dial are on the front. Stops are

The interest manifest in radio re-
ceiving has increased many fold in
the last four or five months. News
radio in. it's many forms with plans
ana descriptions Of radio receiving
sets which could be made at home.
Some Of the sets thus detailed will
give good results If constructed ac-
cording to the instructions given. 1t
can be easily understood that in the
vicinity of a large powerful trans
mitting station it would not require a
very complicated or expensive piece
of apparatus to obtain fairly good
results. Weather conditions also
enter into radio reception and 1t re-
hear all the broadcasting stations
with any degree Of regularity. With
the smallest and most inefficient set,
intermittent and freak results are
present, but to get continuous and
satisfactory results some attention
should be paid to the design and con-
struction OF the receiver
1t is the purpose OF this series to
cover from a practical standpoint the
design, construction and operation Of
an efficient receiving set at a COM
paratively low cost by which the
DullueT Will D0 ADlo u near Diodu-
casting stations 500 miles away under
any weather conditions. A list of
radio terms will also be supplemented
which will enable the builder, If he is
not familiar with tho apparatus, to
understand what the terms and parts
of the instrument mean, and to be
able to enter radio store and choose
the material intelligently. A general
discussion of radio will come first in
order, followed by construction de-
tails Of aerials, ground. lightning pro-
, lection, tuner, detector, amplifier, loud
speaker etc.
A radio receiving set consists of.
ordinarily four separate and dis
tinct parts-the aerial and ground,
tuning device, detector and the ampli-
fer.
Aerial and Wave Lengths.
The purpose of the aerial is to catch
the minute waves, which are borne
on the ether, and carry them to the
tuner. Now enters the term wave

in this case is merely a unit OF meas
urement and should not be confused
with the linear measurement (39.37)
inches In theory, il one station
transmitting were using an aerial 500
feet long and another station an
aerial 900 feet long. they would be
transmitting on different waves or
500-foot aerial having a longer wave
length. 1t is by this method that
many stations can transmit at the
same time without causing any in
reference with each other1being on
different wave lengths. In receiving
the. same holds true. However. it Is
