Yucatan Likes Wheat Bread.

Corn t%ortilla, for ages the ~favorite
bread of Yu%catecans, Is threatened by
a modern competitor. Little baking
is done in the homes of Yucatan, the
frying pan being the standard imple-
ment of cookery. The simple but
wholesome Mexican tortilla is an ar
ticle of general diet, but wheat bread
is now being widely consumed. The
wheat bread supply Of the entire pen
insula of Yucatan originates in
bakeries and consists principally Of
long, sour French loaves. According
to Consul o. G.. Marsh of Progreso
about four years ago a progressive
Yucatecan opened a modern bakery In
Merida equipped with American ma
chinery and using American fresh
yeast. This bakery enjoys remarkable
uccess. A great variety Of rolls, bis
cults, ETC., raised with baking powder
and containing lard and sugar are Lur-
chasable.

ECUADOR PiNEAPPLES HUGE
They Grow to Weight Of Twenty-Five
Pounds in the Province Of
Esmeraldas.

Ecuador Is fast becoming a great
fruit-growing country, said Frank Ed
ward Kink Of Esmeraldas, Ecuador, to
the New York Times.
~"Pineapples grow to a weight of %
pounds in the province Of Esmeral-
das," he declared. This is about
twice the size of the pineapNes grown
in Hawaii and shows that we must
have very superior soil. Moreover,
there is no place in the world that
produces such large, thin-skinned,
seedless oranges.
indications are that the province
has also a considerable wealth in oil.
There are a great number of Oil seep-
ages which would indicate A great pro-
duction of high-gravity Gil. The chax-
acter Of this oil Is higher than the f.
nous Pennsylvania oil, and has been
produced In Ecuador for the last 300
years, but 1t Is only recently that mod
ern machinery has been used for drill.
ing, with excellent success. One month
ago an English company brought in a
well of 300 barrels an hour of 3S gray
fty oil. These conditions combine to
encourage immigration, which is stead
lily increasing In E~smeraldas."

wire, the terminals being connected to
the detector unit. One side is placed
to the rod, as shown. Another coil Is
shown at c, consisting of a wooden ring
with toroidal winding of 30 turns of No.
80 enameled wire inclosing the rod.
The Transmitter.
Fig. l shows the transmitter; E is a
wooden handle ten inches long, carry
ing two rectangular blocks of wood or
bakelite, d. Two choke coils, G,
are wound upon a three-quarter-inch
diameter fiber tube and consist of sew
eral hundred turns of No. SO enameled
copper terminating at binding posts
for attaching to coil and oscillator rod
shown. Rods, A, may be Of three thirty
second inch diameter brass rod, each
IS inches long. The receiver in Fig. 2
Is constructed similarly, with the addi-
ton of a small platform to support
fixed condenser, c, and detector, D..
Receivers rod, A, is also CT brass, 80
inches long, including coil, B.
These instruments will be found
quite critical to length. Generally the
receiver will be shorter, a difference of
one inch in length being sufficient to
vary the strength considerably. For
experimenters desiring more effective
instruments the system in Fig. 5 Is sug-
gested. Here a seamless brass tele-
scope tube of one-eighth inch inside d.
ameter Is cut Is inches long for each
rod Of the transmitter go inches for
receiver. A slot at f provides a fric-
ton junction upon the one-eighth inch
brass rcd G Is inches long that slides
into the tube. These rods may be
pulled out so that either of the systems
may be extended for critical tuning or
changing of wave-length.
When operating with such short
w~ave-lengths many interesting expert
ments may be performed. With such

TIME TO VIEW WITH ALARM
Startling Exploit of Pennsylvania Girl
Whose Fiance Was in the
Sheriff's Custody.

Had an Oppenheim, a Chambers or
a McGrath written a tale a few years
ago of a girl who forced her way into
a sheriff's home and then, single-hand-
ed, freed her fiance from the nearby
Jail with the aid of the keys and a re-
volyer she obtained in her housebreak-
ing, readers would have been amused
thing.
But truth continues to make fiction
look silly. And times have changed.
The Warren (Pa.) girl who did that
thing Is a type that the writer's Of
shockers have not caught up with as
yet. There are pollcewomen and
women deputy sheriffs today-also girl
bandits. Milady in her emancipated
state both enforces the laws and
breaks them. No task Is too much for
her.
II the facts in this case were as they
are told, here was love laughing at the
locksmiths and the sheriff and all the
embattled array of the forces of law
and order. That's the way the movie
scenario writer's would look at 1t.
Many other persons will take that in
judicial attitude toward the exploit of
this lass, too.
But are not the ladies going a bit
too far? Nobody, not ven judges and
juries, have objected very strenuously
so far to m shooting up their hus-
bands at odd times, even to their
shooting up other peoples husbands.
But If they are to be permitted to
break open the jails to get their
chosen ones out of durance. Of what
use will be jails or policemen or laws,

schemes are shown in Fig. 4, all of
which possess some advantages when
used with certain lengths of receivers.
However, the scheme at D and in Fig.
2 Is simplest and most effective for
spark and crystal reception. The exact

shown in Fig. 4 D. The potential dis
tribution Is maximum at the extremes
Of the coil during reception and is,
therefore, zero at the center, so by en-
ploying this small coil a sufficient drop
to operate the detector is provided
without destroying the effect as an os-
cillator. Another scheme is shown at

choke coils, II, to the rods. The coil
energies the rods. n positively and
the other negatively, until the gap,
breaks down, after which the energy
becomes %oscillatory until damped out
Chokes, r, prevent the capacity be-
tween leads and coil from becoming
defective by r%etarding high-freGuency
currents tending to move back into that
circuit.
Figs. 2 and 4 are Of the receiving
unit. Since this must be tuned to the
transmitter, its length will be approx
mately the same, except that the rod Is
continuous and undivided.
Detecting Received Energy.
The problem of detecting received
energy Is quite a difficult one, since the
energy at a distance is very small and
the addition Of extra apparatus in the
circuit prohibitive. The rod being open
makes 1t difficult to obtain sufficient po-
