IT came back again-as | was
sure 1t would-the myth of
"Edison's Electric Star"
This time, however, Venus was
drawing near her inferior conjunc-
ton, which occurred on the first
of July, before l received the in
evitable letter from someone who
had seen her light in the West
after shutdown, and had listened
to the voice of the myth maker
telling him that it belonged to
the Wizard of Menlo Park, as
he used to be called in the days
when this legend took its rise;
the days when he was mastering
the Pickering demon of electric
ity and making it shine steady,
and with marvellous brightness,
from a minute black thread of
carbon, painfully twisted and
shut UP without air, in a little
Transparent vacuum coffin.
There is a very brilliant star,
runs the letter, that appears al
most directly west about 8 o'clock
in the evening. Can you advise
me the name of it? Someone in
formed me that Thomas A. Edi-
son projects a brilliant light
which he calls the Edison Star.
Have you any records which
would indicate this to be a fact?''
Well, no records are needed to
prove that Thomas A. Edison
projects a brilliant light. All the
world has seen it, and sees 1t
nightly. His genius also projects
a light. 1t has burned a place
for him in American history. But
Edison would be the last man to
try to rob Venus of her glory, or
to seek to get himself translated
to the sky under false pretenses.
l have no doubt that he would
say, with me: What a pity that
ignorance should so belittle one
of the grandest sights that the
surrounding heavens presents be-
fore the eyes of man, staring out
uncomprehendingly from his little
globe"
Those who missed seeing
Venus during the past spring
and the first month of summer
and they, too, missed her who
saw her without recognition, and
only as an optical phenomenon
will have to wait long for. another

when the circuit is to be used as a
regenerative detector circuit.
Setting the Coils.
When a 1S0 degree coupler is used,
set the two coils concentrically and
connect the beginning and end of the
windings as shown in Figure 2.
If the polarity of the coils is re-
versed by reversing the connections
on one of the coils, the effect is to
weaken or reduce the tendency of the
circuit to oscillate unless the con-
stants of the grid and plate circuits
are such that the plate circuit is prac-
tically in resonance with the grid cir
cult when regeneration would take
place in spite of the wrong polarity
through the tuned-plate circuit
method.
The method of regeneration in which
a coil connected into the plate cir
cult is placed in inductive relation
with the grid coil is called the tick
ler coil inductive feedback" method of
regeneration. Regeneration and the
generation of oscillations can also be
accomplished by the "tuned-plate"
method in which the plate circuit
of the tube is tuned into resonance
with the grid circuit with feed
back of energy taking place through
the capacity coupling of the grid-to-
plate capacity of the tube.
There are other methods, but these
two are the most commonly used and
most practical methods.
So far we have dwelt on the effects
produced by the regenerative action
in these circuits. Tomorrow we will
take up the desirable and undesirable
elements introduced through this &C.

Part IL.

The function of a tube as a sepa-
ratelv or self-excited oscillator is a
very important one and this charac-
teristic of the tube to act as an os-
cillator can be desirable or undesir-
able according to conditions present
and results desired.
A diagram showing a separately ex-
cited oscillator circuit is shown in
Figure l. In this case source of
weak high frequency current is con-
nected into circuit A and this,
through the coupling to the grid cir
cult C and amplifying action of the
tube. is made to produce similar but
much more powerful oscillations in
the plate circuit P of the tube.
In Figure coil connected in
the plate circuit of the same tube is
placed in inductive relation to the
grid coil G of the tube in such way
that the polarity of the two coils is
properly arranged to permit it to
generate oscillations.
Excites the Circuit.
In the first instance, an outside
source is used to excite the circuit in
the same way that small d. c. gen.
orator or battery is used to excite he
field of a large alternator, while in
the second case no outside source is
used to produce the initial impulse
which sets the circuit into oscillation.
A very slight disturbance of the
electrical balance of the circuit, such,
for instance, as turning on the fila
ment current or connecting in the
plate battery, is sufficient to produce
the initial flare to set the circuit into
operation.
Each additional amplified impulse
fed back into the grid circuit tends to
increase the disturbing element and
to build up the oscillation strength to
higher and higher values, within the
limits imposed by the flattening ends
of the characteristic curve of the
tube.
The "ViciOus Circle"
The action which takes place might
be termed vicious circle" of the
endless chain type. The small dis
turbance in the grid circuit creates
larger disturbance in the plate circuit.
which being fed back into the grid
circuit reinforces the disturbance in
the grid circuit. thereby creating
greater disturbance In the plate cir
