Sllenfish

Shellfish are divided into classes
CLANS, oysters, scallops and mus
sells belong to one class, and lobster,
crabs, shrimps and crawflsh belong
to another class.
Oysters are the most important
of the shellfish, although shrimps
are higher in food value. Both
CLAIMS and oysters are more easily
digested If eaten raw.
With the exception of the lobster,
all fish are easy to digest, although
the lean fish is more readily assimi-
lated than the fat. The flesh of the
lobster is coarse, dense and difficult
Of digestion.
To escallop fish, place alternat-
ing layers OF fish and soft bread
crumbs in buttered baking dish,
covering the whole with milk or a
tnln Wnlte sauce, season with salt
and pepper and bake until firm.
Variety may be given this dish by
using tomato sauce instead OF milk.
To cook flllets of fish, wash and
dry. season, roll In fine bread
crumbs, dip in slightly beaten egg
diluted with one tablespoon of cold
water; dip in crumbs again; then
fry in deep fat. Prepare all the fill

Radio Has Different Need

The principal reason why the us
ual telephone receiver is not adapt
able for radio work is because II is
OF low resistance winding STANDARD
being rs ohms) and is constructed 30
as to give a loud sound, requiring
many times more current which can
be easily applied in the usual wire
telephone circuit, which is not the
case in radio, the rectified radio tele-
phone or telegraph currents being
many times smaller, therefore requir-
ing much more sensitive receiver,
and to obtain this it was necessary
to improve upon the magnets and
increase the windings on the electro
magnets from 1000 to 1000 ohms on
each receiver in order to obtain a
greater number Of ampere turns. As
an illustration:
An electro magnetic having ten
turns, by passing one ampere
through this winding you will have
ten ampere turns. BY passing ~
amperes through the same winding
you will have 200 ampere turns

NEW YORK, March 3l.-Now we
come to one of the most important
items that enter into the success of
any radio station-the aerial, or an
tenna (means for lbsorbing or ra-
dating electric magnetic waves, as
used In radio telephone.)
AS mentioned in one OF the prev
ious articles, an aerial. or antenna,
is a conductor supported in the air
and insulated from all surrounding
objects. There are many types of
aerials, such as the flat top "T" type,
Fig. /; inverted 81" type, Fig. 2;
umbrella type, Fig. 3. However,
most OF these types are made up of
plurality of wires flour or six wires,
or even more). These types of aer-
ials are used mostly for transmitting
purposes; but for receiving purposes
only a single wire. suspended in the
air and insulated from all surround
ing objects, will serve our purpose
well. To obtain the best results
with this set 1t would be advisable,
where it is possible, to have an earial
from 100 to $50 feet in length and
30 or 40 feet high at both ends.
The necessary materials are:
One hundred and fifty feet, OF
more, of No. II or IA B. and S. gauge
bare copper wire.
Two to four insulators, depending
upon the conditions that must be
met.
One porcelain tube.
How to Make Aerial
The drawings are self-eXplanatory
and with a little advice you will be
able to construct your aerial so as to
obtain successful results.
First. Always bear in mind that
the effectiveness of your aerial and
the success that you will derive
from your set depend mostly upon
how effectively you have insulated
your aerial. Spare no pains to do
this job right.
Second. Avoid kinks, turns, twists
in your aerial and lead-in wire.
Third. The aerial or antenna wire
can be put through the hole at one
end of the insulator and the stay
wire through the other. A lead-in
wire can be fastened to any part of
the aerial or antenna, or simply
brought off as an extension OF the
main wire. Where the wire runs
around a corner of the building, or
under similar circumstances, an in
sulator can be fastened by means
of a large screw to a wooden sup
porting stick. Then the lead can be
put through or fastened to the hole
at the extended end of the insulator.
Fourth. II due to conditions you
must cut your wire. be sure that
when you make the connection 1t is
soldered.
Fifth. If support can only be
found for one end the wire can be
run from the house to a short pole
rs or 80 feet high near by. On
apartment house roofs, chimneys,
pipes and other objects offer good
natural supports.
The next article will tell all about
grounds and grounding.

give only a brief outline of what
takes place in the receiver.
Refer to Fig. This style of re-
ceiver is known as the watch case
type and the reason for adapting
same was due to it being small, per-
hitting it to be worn on the head by
the operator. 1t is a general prac
tice to wear a pair mounted on a
headband, and by so doing keeping
out most foreign and unwelcome

A German bomb which played havoc
In the heart of Amiens in 1918 has also

tons of a Roman TEMPLE dating back,
ii is said, to- the First century of the
Christian era.
. Two thonsand years of history, OF
war and conquest and civilization lay
buried in this rubbish heap, with oLly
two or three fragments of stone wall
rising into the daylight above the
medieval and modern wreckage of the
houses. These bits of Roman wall
SCATTERED by high explosive stood in
tact through the rest Of the "a They
and their fragments in the dust re-
manned, only to invoke scofn and dis
dain at the encroachments. Of an in
vading army that failed even in its con
quest of modern Gaul. The existence
of this ruin offered striking indica-
ton of the advance of Roman civiliza-
ton in the northern provinces, for the
temple ruins are of vast dimensions;
going under the street, fragments of
wall reappear again under a demol-
ished house half a block away.
The objects of value found since
July, 1920, when the temple was dis
covered, include many Roman jugs in
small size without o~rnamentation, a
considerable number of bronze and
gold pins and small articles attachable
to wearing apparel. In the bottom OF
the well was found a bronze hand
mirror considerably furnished, but still
capable of being highly polished.
Alongside this were a few women's
hair ornaments in bronze. There
were bone sockets for door hinges,
some curious pendants ascribed to the
wardrobe of Roman maidens before
their marriage, and the objects In
best preservation consisted of a group
Of beautiful iridescent glass bottles.
There were also a number of coins
which, %unhappily, are illegible.
The fragments Of bas-relief, in the
opinion OF older Psychologists, indi-
Gated that at one time the temple
had been richly adorned, as each
fragment was from a different section.
SO far there has not been any de-
cipherable matter found to throw
light on the history Of the structure,
though from what records are obtain
able on early Gallo history and the
Roman conquest by Caesar, II is pre-
sumed the temple was constructed
during the first century after the col
e~nization OF Gaul had been started.

RAPE IS FINE FORAGE CROP
Crop Makes Rapid and Rank Growth
and Affords Highly Nutritive
Feed for Hogs.

Pecause of its heavy yielding quail
ties and high protein content, rape is
one of the best Of our forage crops.
says ]. C. Eldridee OF the Iowa State
college. No hog breeder should be
without o small patch Of it unless other
excellent pasture is provided. Rape
makes a rapid and rank growth and
affords highly nutritlve feed for hogs
early in the season and later when the
bluegrass pasture is about gone.
Rape may be sown any time until
late IN the summer. Early planting
Will insure higher yields, however.
Rape is also excellent as an emergency
pasture crop when other fOrages have
intended to hog down corn. a good
practice is to plant q small patch of
rape adjoining the corn field, thus pro-
viding a balanced ration for the hogs
hate In fhe summer.
Some slight precaution is necessary
in handling the rape pasture. IT should
be pastured only lightly at first and
hogs should not be turned in early in
the morning when a heavy dew is still
on the rape. White or thin-skinned
hogs blister IN such instances,
Sow rape alone 4 10 9 pounds to the
acre. Use the Dwarf Essex variety
only. as II has been found to be best
for cur conditions.

RevoIutionized Illustration.

With the death OF John Karst AT hi5
country home in Sullivan county, N. Y.
there passed away an artist who did
much for wood engraving.
Karst was born in Bfngcn on the
Rhine eighty-six years ago, coming to
this country when an infant. He
learned the trade of wood engraving.
which he quickly made a profession.
He WAS not long in convincing the
heads of such publications as Har-
per's and Frank Les.:e's that wood
engraving was. an art.
When the oldtime plan of photo
graphing a picture on the block was
adopted Karst was n of the few
wood e%ngravers who survived the
change. He induced a great publish
ing house to substitute artistic Pm
cravings for the denominations that
filed their books. An edition Of a
geography with the most beautiful
pictures ever printed in such a text
book resulted In revolutionizing wood
engraving.
For the next 30 years there Vas
scarcely an illustrated educational
textbook of value the engravings of
which were not made in Karst's studio.
Karst was an authority on pOrce-
iains, prints end first editions of
books. His knowledge was broad, and
every publisher of his time valued his
friendship, and not a few sought his
advice.
