Judge John w. Banks in Civil Su-

for Remington Arms-U. NJ c. Co.
against the Gaynor Manufa curing
company In the sum of S4441695
me litigation grew out of contract
for producing the so-called French
bullet, which was made of copper
and the manufacture of which proved
very difficult to American manufac-
tuners. The Gaynor company had a
large contract which was not com

Girls Prepare
For Minstrels

The L. NJ. c. girls are rehearsing
for the minstrel show to be given I'M
der the auspices of the Ninth District
Republican Club, Inc. in St. John s
streets, next Thursday night. The
program which has been arranged is
excellent and the feature of the even
ing will be a, radio specially under
the direction of Charles Roder.
While the minstrel is to be given
by the "old" club of that district. the
member of the new" club have been
invited to Cooperate with the com
Tnittee in charge of the coming event
and present indications would point
out that perhaps the minstrel will
bring about harmony amongst the di-
Vided factions of the district.

The Telephone.

The Telephone.
= The most important instrument,
aside from the detector itself, is
the telephone receiver, serving to
make Ineligible to the human ear,
the various changes going on in the
detector circuit, whenever an m
coming oscillation representing a
signal impinges upon it. The
changes occurring in the detector
circuit, due to the action of the de-
tector under the influence of an
osciliatory high frequency current,
are infinitesimally Snail and
ment which is capable of detecting
and interpreting them, must of
necessity be extremely sensitive
For the purpose of receiving sig
nails over very short distances, 1t
is possible to use a common low
resistance telephone receiver, hav-
ing a small number of turns Of
wire upon its bobbins, but for
serious work over a greater dis
lance than 10 miles, it is necessary
to employ special wireless re-
ceivers, wound with many hundred
turns of fine copper wire, and
equipped with good strong per-
manent magnets of the best grade
of steel, such as Tungsten or
Swedish steel, coupled with thin
soft iron diaphragm of proper
thickness, the air gap left between
the magnet pole-faces and it, being
very short and correctly adjusted.
A pair of head receivers widely
adopted by commercial and ex-
perimental stations, is shown in
fig. IL. A volt and one one-millionth
of an ampere, has oeen made aud
ible to the ear by click of the
diaphragm. Surely remarkable
demonstration of the sensitiveness
of the receivers, in fact there Is
possibly, not at the present time,
a more susceptible electrical device
obtainable than a high resistance
wireless receivers.

Two pieces of sheet or ribbon
brass are bent in the shape in
dicated to form springs, between
which a piece of silicon is inserted.
Another piece of brass is bent in
a semi-circle and with the springs,
screwed to a wooden base.
The next step is to drill a hole
in the top of the semi-circle of
brass so that a nut may be wedged
into the hole. A brass thumb
screw through the nut adjusts the
pressure on the silicon.
All parts used in the construc-
ton of this detector are little odds
and ends that may be found in al
most any home. The springs of an
old electric bell may be utilized
and nut, just the thing for the
purpose, may be taken from a
worn out battery.

CONSTRUCTION OF LOOT
AERIAL,

The loop aerial is gradually COM

from vague idea to useful fact
is constantly being improved on.
The day is not far off when loop
aerial will be developed for long

It eliminates the necessity of put
ting up an outside aerial and can be
made ornamental but in its present
stage its use is confined to short
distances only.

wish to carry on experimental
work with the indoor loop, the fol-

TO REMOVE INSULATION

To make contact with the slider
is it necessary to remove the in
ulation from the wire wound about
the tuning coil at the points where
the contact will be made. This is
tedious operation and often disas-
trous to the winding.
A plan has been devised by one
of our readers who, as shown in
the. diagram, placed two laths on
one side of the coil about one half
inch apart and then scraped the
insulation away by rubbing block

covered with emery paper up and
down the groove between the two
laths. The wooden block should
be about II" 8" ST. with the
emery paper glued on or held
firmly to the long side of it, When
the scraping process is complete
the laths may be removed.
This method is simple and effect
i've and leaves the insulation
scraped from an even line with no
ragged edges. It assures a good
contact,

The sensitiveness of a wireless
receiver depends upon the correct
proportioning of its various parts;
the proper strength of its per-
manent magnets, and the number
of turns of copper wire wound upon
its magnet spools, not upon how
many megohms of resistance that
can be crowded into it. If this
were the case, German silver or
other high resistance wire might
as well be used on the bobbins.
The idea is, to get the greatest
possible number of ampere turns
active on the receiver magnet
spools, which determines the effect
of a certain current strength upon
the diaphragm. By ampere-turns
is inferred the product of the am
peres passing through a coil and
the number of turns Of wire there
on, this determining directly the
amount of magnetic fux, in lines
of force per square unit of, cross
section, which will be set up to
react upon the diaphragm.
The best receivers now, are
wound with No. SO B. & S. gauge
or finer silk covered wire, of the
very best annealed copper. The
resistance in ohms of the best
types does not exceed 1000 to
1000 ohms per receiver or 5000
to 1000 for a pair. Formely there
were some receivers made having
a resistance per set of 5000 ohms
and more, but this is higher than
is usually necessary.
Although not generally known,
it is essential for the best results,
that the two receivers of set
shall have the same tone, as. it is
called, and the best receivers are
mated up into pairs in this manner.
The usual custom is to connect the
two receivers of q set in series, and
it may be said in this connection,
that it has been found very unsatis-
factory to connect a pair of re-
ceivers having different resistances.

DR.. Crew expressed the opinion that
the board wonld be able to continue

said h a splendid progress had been
made in the fight against tuberculosis
in cattle.
The board adopted a regulation
prohibiting the sale and use of viru-

which are used for minimizing pur-
poses. The regulation VA uted.
DR.. Crewe said, because the serms
frequently fall into unframed hands
and great harm is done. Such i'm

not, which has been long contemplat-

ears, Is at least apparently moving
toward a definite conclusion.
The six Lutheran congregations in
Minot have united in expressing ap-
prevail OF the hospital project and
have appointed committees to consid-
er the matter and decide what fur
Their steps shall be taken at this time,
m how to proceed. "A general meAt-
lng OF these committees and others
will be held early next week to take
up actively the hospital question.
A strong and growing demand for
a Protestant hospital has been report
ed in Minot and the large, territory
It, serves. 1t has been felt, statements
say, that the Lutherans are the logi-
cal group to handle the enterprise
owing to the large proportion of the
population of this region which that
church represents. There are no less
than rs Lutheran parishes. in the ter
rltory tributary to Minot and it il
understood that many of these are
interested in this central hospital
plan.
Outline OF the plan has not vet pro-
ceeded so far as to suggest anything

appointments. However,, a hospital
