asphalt and coal tar7
Asphalt is an anonymous brownish-
black. odorous, combustible mixture Of
different HYDROCARBONS. 1t is found
mostly in superficial deposits in
various parts of the world. the So
called ritch-lake of Trinidad being the
most notable source. Coal tar is the
black pitch distilled from bituminous
coal, condensed In the manufacture Of
coal gas, and used in the arts. 1t
yields the aniline dyes and similar
compounds.

plate circuit. The limit is reached
when the plate current reaches the
saturation point. After this point Is
reached, further weakening of the
coupling cannot increase the plate cur
rent variations so that the transfer Of
energy from the plate to grid circuit
now decreases, and any further reduc-
ton In coupling will cause such re-
duction In excitation that finally the
tube will cease to function.
There Is, then, certain degree Of
coupling at which the tube will start
to osclllate. a certain degree OF cou-
'pling which will produce maximum os-
cillation In the plate circuit and an
other degree Of coupling at which the
tube will cease to oscillate.
From the foregoing short discussion
II can be seen that a three electrode
vacuum tube can be made to function
as a self excited generator Of an un-
daniped alternating difference Of po-
tential at radio frequency, or by excit-
ing the tube externally by, for exam
pie, an incoming radio signal, the
amplified plate circuit variations In
potential can be fed back into the grid

How the Vacuum Tube Radio

II It were not for the bends In the
characteristic curve, the three-elec-
trode vacuum tube could not be made
to produce oscillations Of constant am
plitude when self excited. 1t Is easily
seen that II the Characteristic curve
were Q straight line the operation of
the tube would be SO unstable as to
render the tube useless as an oscilla-
ton generator. Nthird condition of
relative values of potential variations
can exist, that is, when the grid cir
cult potential variations are less than
the potential variations existing In the
tuned circuit between the points Y and
Y. When this condition exists, the
oscillations In the tuned circuit cannot
be maintained but the decrease In am
plitude in the tuned circuit oscillations
will reduce the grid excitation, and the
tube will finally cease to oscillate.
Thus the coupling that exists be-
tween the plate circuit through the
tuned circuit inductance L and the
grid circuit through the inductance l.

not cause the tube to act as gener-

Suppose that the coupling existing

the coils be moved farther apart II will
require greater and greater variations
In potential In the coil L to maintain

In Figure XXXvI the tube was made

@ connected In the grid circuit to L,
an inductance In the tune plate circuit.
A development Of this circuit 10 shown
In Figure XXXIX.
Here the energy, instead Of being
directly coupled from the plate to the
grid circuit, Is first necessary to an
intermediate circuit, MN, and then to
the grid circuit. II Is necessary of

- HE trouble with most people
today is that they're not
statesmen. A salesman is a
man who can kick you down the
stairs into the cellar and then
get you to bring him scuttle of
coal when you come up.
He's the fellow who pats you
on the back with one hand and
goes through your pockets with
the other.
He can borrow $50 from you
and talk you into paying him the
interest on 1t.
He always chooses his words
and even thinks twice before he
talks to himself.
He could sell q hot-water bag
20 a man who had a fever Of no.
One Of these fellows was SO
clever he talked the Judge into
giving his Angora cat the blue
ribbon at the dog show.
It takes a clever guy to walk
into a theater and sell a hair net
to every man in the bald-headed
row.
Not long ago q salesman went
60 Detroit and sold a whole car
lead Of hOrseShoes to Henry Ford.
Two weeks later Ford wrote him
q letter saying he didn't need them,
so the same salesman went back
and sold him some horses so that
he could use the shoes.
or course this fellow was ex-
fremely smart. He could have
sold n box at the Metropolitan
Opaa House to a hermit.
He used to stand on the steps Of
the City Hall selling second hand
marriage licenses.
III you didn't want marriage IL
Cense he'd talk you into buying a
Gvorce decree.
He was so nervy he paid his in.
come tax with counterfeit money.
The authorities never lock him
mp, because the last time they put
him I'm Jail he sold the place.
He can convert anything into
money. Last year he cut boat
load of ice out Of Central Park
skating rink and took it up to
Alaska and sold 1t to the highest
bidder.
After listening to his spiel, the
EsIkimOs fell all over themselves
trying to buy it.
So, II you've got anything to sell.
go out and sell it. But If you have
nothing. all you've got to do is let
the public know and they'll do
their best to take It away from
you.
