vacuum tube oscillators to produce each
an electric current from 100 cycles per
second up to 1000 at intervals of 100
cycles. These were connected through
switches to special telephone receiver.
When all were connected a full tone
was heard which had pitch CORE
spending to 100 cycles. Switching off
the. 1oo-cycle tone had no noticeable
effect on the pitch, nor did the pitch
change when the first seven tones were
cut off and only the 300, 900 and 1000
cycle currents reached me receiver. In
fact, any three consecutive currents
gave the sensation of pitch CORE
spending to 100 cycles, while with any
four consecutive currents the APPARENT
100 cycle note was very prominent.
Where did the ear pick up the 100
cycle note if it wasn't sounded by the
receiver? To tell the truth, the ear
made it out of whole CLOTH" just as
some men make up eakfast-table
story of what they did last night. In
justice to the ear, however, it must be
said that it must have something to
work with, and what it does is to COM
bine the sounds that enter it and make
up new tone from them. The action
is ,sstrictly analogous to that Of the
vacuum tube detector, which makes an
audio frequency current out of the diff
ference of two radio frequencies. The
air waves of frequencies 500, GOO, 700
and 300 cycles have a common diff
ference tone that gives US the sensation

HOUSE ADOPTS new
BAD CHECK MEASURE
Bill Corrects Defect in Existing
ing Law and Puts Burden of
Proof ON Defense

ATLANTA, July 25.-The house
has Just passed a bill adopted by
the senate during last year correct
ing, certain detects in Georgla's
"bad check" statute, and as soon
as this bill is signed by the governor
it will become a law. That the
measure will be approved by the
executive is regarded here as cer-
tain. The material portion of the
bill reads as follows:
ANY person who, with intent to
defraud, shall make, or draw, or
utter or deliver any check, draft,
or order for the payment of mooney
upon any bank, or other depository,
knowing at the time of such MAX
ing, drawing, uttering or delivery,
that the maker or drawer has not
sufficient funds IN or credit with
such bank or. other depository for
the payment of such check, draft
or order upon its presentation,
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
1.-THE making, drawing, uttering
or delivery Of such check, draft or
order, as aforesaid, shall be prima
facie evidence of intent to detraud.
The word "credit" as used herein
shall be construed to mean an ar
rangement or understanding with
the bank or depository for the
payment of such check, draft or
