 Try it right now for rheumatism, neuralgia, lumtago, sore, stiff and swollen joints, pains in the head, back and limbs, corns, bunions. etc. After one application pain usually disappears as if by magic.
 A new remedy used externally for coughs, colds, croup, influenza, sore throat, diphtheria and tonsilitis.
 This oil Is conceded to be the most penetrating remedy known. It's prompt and immediate effect In relieving pain is due to the fact that 1t penetrates to the affected parts at once.

Simple Variometer Can
Be Made From Leftovers

The variometer here described Is
easily made from odds and ends
found in any fans junk pile. 1t is,
however, very efficient. This vario-
meter Is especially well adapted for
use in portable sets, as it takes very
little space, and, being in continual
variable inductance, does away with
the need of a variable condenser. The
coupling may be varied from tight to
very loose. The size and nhmber of
turns will vary with the needs Of the
individual constructors. 1t has been
found that 90 turns three inches in
diameter will work satisfactorily. The
coils are made by winding the wire on
tube of the proper diameter and
then slipping the wire off. The turns
of wire may be held together by twist
ing small piece of insulated wire
around them. The next thing to do
is to mount the coils. For this pur-
pose hinge. preferably of brass and

Rosicruciar7s Secret
Order of 18th Century

The Rosicrucians were a secret fra
ternity alleged to have been founded
during the latter part of the Four
teenth century by Christian Rosen-
kreuza, German mystic, who dwelt for
a time in India and Egypt, where he
acquired a profound knowledge of the
occult arts.
The Rosicrucians, like the alchem-
istS, pretended to transmute metals, to
3rolong life and to possess knowledge
IF what was occurring in distant
places. They first became known to
The world early in the Seventeenth
century, through the publication of
certain documents said to have been
issued by them; but according to many
authorities their existence was ex-
tremely doubtful
The Rosicrucians were also called
the Brothers of the Rosy Cross, from
the notion that the name is derived
from "crux" (cross), and rosa" (rose),
Brewer, however, says that the word
Rosicrucian comes from "ros" dew
and "rosa" (rose). "Dew was con-
sidered by the ancient chemists as the
most powerful solvent of gold, and

Progress of Energy.
In the diagram, the grid of the first
amplifier tube is energized by the sig
nal oscillations in the antenna circuit.
The amplified energy in the plate cir
cult of this tube circulates through
the primary winding Of the untuned
transformer (RT) and in turn eXcites
the grid of the second tube through
the secondary of the transformer. If
the tuned impedance (TD, in the out
put circuit of the second tube, is adj
justed to the wave length of the sta
ton to be heard, amplified signals will
be delivered by this stage to the in
put of the detector tube through the
grid condenser indicated. By inter-
posing grid leak resistance of about
one and one-half megohms between
the grid and the detector tube and
the positive end Of its filament, great.
er stability of tube action is obtained.
Oscillation of the amplifier is con-
trolled by adjustment of the poten-
tiometer, connected in shunt to the
battery. The arm Of the po-
tentiometer Is moved toward the mega
tive end of its resistance coil to the
point just below where oscillation
with consequent distortion of the
broadcast received would begin. In
the event difficulty Is encountered in
oscillation in the second
stage of the amplifier with the return
grid lead of the tube connected d.
rectly to the negative side of the fla
ment battery, this lead may be joined
with that from the first tube at the
arm. This connection

The Condenser.

Capacity is the property, associated
with condenser, whereby 1t is able to
store electrical energy. A condenser
generally consists of two or more cleo
trical conductors separated by an in.
sulator. The capacity of condenser
may be increased by increasing the
size of the conducting plates, and also
by decreasing the distance between the
plates and by increasing the number
Of plates.

simplicity Of operation in a multi
stage radio frequency amplifier have
caused many q broadcast enthusiasts
no end of trouble, according to r. f
Humphreys in the New York Evening
Mail. or course, the greatest selectiv
lty obtainabe in an amplifier of this
type, consisting of two or more stages
is afforded by the use of tuned or semi
tuned transformers as interstage coup
lings. On the other hand, this method
of linking up the successive tubes OF
radio frequency amplifier involves
such multiplicity of tuning controls
and Is generally so seective that it
lacks all operating flexibility, and
therefore Is of no practical value
either to the novice or to the listener
In who abhors "knob winding sets" Gas
they have appropriately been called.
Permanent Tuning.
Primary and secondary windings Of
a tuned radio frequency transformer
are commonly shunted by small varia-
BILE condensers of equal capacity,
which must be progressively rotated in
unison to the left or right In the
course Of hunting a station. 1t is
necessary that the primary and sec
ondary circuits of this transformer
always be in tune or very nearly so,
If the signals amplified by the first
tube are to be passed on to the sec
ond, etc. The semi-tuned transformer
comprises one tuned winding, usually
the secondary, and this is controlled
by a small variable condenser. Trans
formers Of the foregoing types have
air cores.
With the advent of the so-called
"untuned radio frequency transform
err" an instrument designed to respond
over band of wave lengths with
varying degrees of efficiency has come
into widespread use in the broadcast
receiving field. These transformers
differ essentially in their operation
from those previously described in
that they require no tuning adjust
ments and lack selectivity. Some
of this order have
range of from ITO to 450 |
meters, while others possess a range
Of from approximately 200 to $50
meters.
The band of wave lengths over
which interstage radio frequency coup
ings of this type will respond de-
)ends on their construction entirely. |
The core used in certain efficient |
of this character con-
lists of thin laminae of silicon steel. |
There are also air core untuned radio
frequency transformers in popular use
or broadcast reception, but while
hese are generally more efficient
han those of the steel core type at |
ONE particular wave length, their
working range is considerably limited.
of this type may operate
over wave band of $50
meters, giving their strongest response

f this band.

What Are Pan Fish?

The term pan fish is many times
misinterpreted. Some seem to think
that this includes only an inferior sort
of species, and others that it is mere
ly term applicable to most any fish
which happens to be taken and which
is edible. The true pan fish is COM
posed of small but game jewellers Of
the singing waters of brooks, creeks

Tuned Importance.

Tuned impedance, as a form of in
terstage radio frequency coupling. has
come into vogue with some prOmi-
nence during the past year 1t affords
selectivity with simplicity of control
and takes the form of a varometer
or a coil comprising a few turns of
wire with a low capacity variable
adjusted to the wave length desired
by manipulation Of the controlling
knob. The windings of the varome-
ter or the coil, depending on which is
used. are common to the output cir
cult of one tube and the input circuit
of the tube which follows. Great Sc
lectivity is obtained with the tuned
lmpedance by employing IT consistent
ly throughout the ampliiier and be-
tween the last amplifier tube and the
detector
The circuit herewith Illustrated en-
braces two stages of radio frequency
and detector. The
output circuits of the first and second
stages of the amplifer are equipped
with an untuned iron core transform
err and tuned impedance respective
ly. Since the antenna tuning portion
of this circuit does not afford very
selective tunlng,' as is true of most
single coil tuners when used In this
position, the matter of minimizing in
reference between broadcast pro-
grams Is left to the interstage radio
frequency couplings which follow.
In the foregoing text 1t was pointed
out that high selectlvity may be OBJ
tanned between successive stages of

of tuned impedances. From the point
