PHILIPPINES HAS
REMARKABLE ORGAN

One of the most remarkable organs
in the world Is the bamboo organ in
the Catholic church of Los Pinas, a
little town about five miles from
Manila, in the Philippine islands. This
organ was built about 1918 by an old
Spanish priest, who must have been
an extremely patient and devoted work
er, as he used more than 900 lengths
of bamboo in the organ, every one of
which was buried in the sand for at
least two years in order to season 1t.
Strange to say, although bamboo is
very soft wood, the old priest did his
work so well that the organ is still
in good condition after a century of
use and is used every week in his
services by the Belgian priest in
charge, Father Victor Declercq. Ev-
cry part Of the instrument is made of
bamboo, and some very ingenious de-
vices were included by its builder,
who must have found his work a la
bor of love indeed. While making
this larger organ, the old Spaniard
built a tiny model, a perfect copy of
the big instrument This he sent to
the queen of Spain, who, in apprecia-
tion of this unique present, sent n
number of valuable gifts to the church.
Some of them still remain, and are
almost as much treasured as the organ

When potentiometer is used in a
receiver 1t will usually be found nee
essary to have a switch in series with
the "A" battery lead, so that the re-

does not consume current An easy
way to automatically cut out the po-
tentiometer. without going to the ex-

above 1t will be noticed that the
rheostat does double duty, as it not
only varies the brilliancy of the tube
but disconnects the potentiometer.
A good and simple way to clean the
strands Of litzendracht wire is to first
take off the outer insulation with
penknife and then separate the strands
a little and heat them over suitable
burner until they are red hot. Quick

will then see that the strands will be
perfectly clean.

Red Light Irresistible
Lure for Insect Pests

A means for combating the winged
insect pests of tropical regions has
been evolved, by means of which the
flying bugs are lured into a deadly bath
of acid and either drowned or asphyxi-
ated by the fumes.
1t was found that a red light served
as an almost irresistible lure for the
night-fyers. A red electric bulb, or a
lantern with red globe, is placed near
the vessel containing the acid solution.
AS the pests fly to the light the fumes
destroy them, even though they may
not actually fall into the bath.
To protect human beings from pos
sible accidental contact with the acid
bath, the liquid is placed in wide
mouthed bottle, to which is attached a
funnel with very broad flaring cone.
The light is suspended directly over
this funnel, and the insects, stupefied
by the acid fumes, fall into it and so
into the acid bath.

the operation is a simple matter. Mere

back the rheostat slightly until the
hiss disappears. Then turn the dial of
the condenser until broadcasting sta
ton Is heard. Move the switch on the
switch point until the signal comes in

slowly until the maximum signal
strength Is obtained. At this point 1t

Because Of the untuned nature of
the primary this set will not radinte

the programs of other receivers. The
secondary is sharply tuned, but the
primary circuit contains but ten turns
of wire. By tuning the secondary the
primary Is forced into resonance with
1t, thus making reception possible
without radiation.
The Haynes set, as in the case of
other sets Of its type. can be ampli-
fed by the simple addition of the

fer, constructed along the usual lines,

Natives Tottooed Bodies
to Protect Themselves

Tradition tells us that the Gioachi,
the alleged ancestors of the Annamites,
were fishermen and were constantly in
danger from marine animals and sea
monsters.
To prevent disaster from the genii
of the waters the king of AMMAN di-
rected his subjects to tattoo their
bodies with images of sea monsters
afterward with dragons, crocodiles and
other reptiles.
Bedouin women tattoo themselves
with figures of animals and stars TO
keep the evil spirits away. In Persia
women were formerly tattooed, believ-
ing this would insure happiness and
attract the opposite sex. Tattooing was
forbidden the Jews of biblical times

Although the disturbance caused by
improperly operated receiving sets has
been Increasing in intensity along with
the abnormal growth of the industry
the full extent Of the interference
caused by this one item was never
thoroughly realized until the air was
cleared recently for the transatlantic
broadcasts. From 10 until 10 80 p. m.
on the nights allotted to the English
transmitting stations 1t seemed to the
casual listeners as If every receiving
get within 1000 miles was sending out
Its own distinctive note. ranging in
tone from the cultural of q bass to
the chee-wit, chee-wee of a songbird.
With these troublesome sounds pollut-
ing the ether, reception from England
was impossible. Since that time, ex-
perts have been busy seeking ways
and means to allay the growing evil
of radiating receivers. the type of set
which causes the trouble.
There are several sets of receivers
that can be made to reradiate, but the
most common Of all is the so-called
Single circuit receiver" This set is
usually distinguished by its vario-
coupler, the outer coil Of which serves
as both primary and secondary and the
rotor ball as ticker feedback to con-
troll regeneration. If this rotor ball In
these sets is turned too far, the re-
ceiver emits a squeak which can be
heard from one block to q mile, de-
pending on the amount Of battery volt
age applied to the tube and to the type
Of tube in use.
There are ways by which the single
circuit set can be altered which will
make 1t non-radiating One of these Is
to convert 1t Into a three-circuit set by
adding varfometer In the plate cir
cult and using the rotor ball Of the
coupler as the secondary. II the rotor
Is kept turned as far as possible con-
sistent with good signal strength the
energy generated by the tube will not
be fed across the air space between
rotor and stator with sufficient inten-
sity to bother adjacent aerials.
One other method to follow to eliml-
nate this interference. which Is con-
stantly on the increase. is to utilize the
principle Of semi-aperiodic primary
such as is found in the circuit de-
veloped by A. J. Haynes Of New York
city and known as the Haynes circuit.
The diagram on this page shows
the simplicity Of the tuning and de-
tecting units. The tuner is essentially
the same as anv variocoupler with the
exception Of the number Of turns of
wire on the ball rotor. To work prop

BIG BALL BEARINGS
USED IN HUGE BRIDGE

Some time ago there was made an
enormous center ball bearing at Nor
folk, in England, for the Breydon
Swing bridge at Yarmouth. for a rail
way.
AS this bridge turns about 400 times
every month, after several years serv-
ice the "V" grooves of the original
bearing were found to be much worn
mostly due to the fact that they had
not been sufficiently hardened. The
original bearing consisted of two rings
having "v' grooves, in which there
were 60 balls two inches in diameter,
the largest made at the time the bridge
was installed.
The new center ball bearings have
a diameter of three and half inches.

If you have a variable grid con-
