I'm reading the other day a

me that maybe this bird is

radio help him i'm his work?

THROBS
To BE HEARD
BY RADIO
Or. Phillips Thomas Device
Will Be Tested by KDKA
Saturday Night.

To demonstrate the extreme SEN
sitivity of the glow-discharge micro
phone perfected by DIR. Phillips
Thomas, KDKA, the broadcasting
station of the Westinghouse Elec-
trio and Manufacturing Company,
will transmit, Saturday night at
O'Clock, a program of radio heart
throbs.
The chief characters in the thirty
minute presentation will be two
hearts, encased in the bosom of a
strong youth while the other is a
part of a comedy young woman.
These hearts will be made to do
tricks according to what the an
nouncer directs and there will be
some surprising things demonstrated
to the radio audience.
For instance how many people
know that smoking will increase the
action of the heart or how much
a single inhale of smoke will in
crease the pulse. This demonstra-
ton will be one Of several made,
Another interesting demonstration
will be the effect of a kiss upon the
pulse. 1t is a well known fact
among physicians that OSCILLATION
increases the heart beat and that
the heart action Of the man is diff
ferent from that OF the woman. An
exceedingly interesting demonstra-
ton of this heart throb will also be
made on Saturday night.
The glow.discharge microphone or,
as 1t has lately become known, the
ultra-audible microphone, because It
will respond to sounds inaudible to
the human ear, will be used in the
demonstration. This microphone
was perfected by DR.. Philips
Thomas, research engineer Of the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufac-
turing Company, after some years
of study and development in an eff
fort to secure pickup for broad.
casting purposes which would re-
spond to all sound freQuencies,
something that the ordinary micro
phone does not do.
1t is said that DIR. Thomas micro
phone is the only pickup used in
radio broadcasting capable of pick
Ing up clearly and distinctly each
heart beat even though the micro
phone be placed not directly on the
skin of the subject. but on the
clothing at a point just above the
heart.

Wear a Peridot, or for thee

The August born without this stone,
'Tis said mus live unloved and lone.
This stone is really an Agate, and
in its form is a massive lump of no
particular form, but is formed and pre-
pared in the following way First, we
wish to state that the color in its orig
inal state is really a Gray. This is
treated in various ways TO get the
beautiful effects, as the finished stones
are seen in the markets. This lump of
gray Agate is sawed into slabs, and
then goes through the different pro-
cesses for the colors wanted. Those
OF the sardonyx or red is made by
burning in an iron solution; that of
the black is done by a process of sat
urating the slabin sugar or honey and
burn this by cooking in sulphuric acid.
All colors, in fact, are produced, and
all colors will stand well except the
blue; this fades u This stone is
found largely in the States, and is held
more as an ornamental than a precious
stone.
The Peridot is a leaf green GEM, and
the source or origin OF the ones worn
by our grandmothers is up to now I'M
traced, but the supply TO meet the de-
mand in modern times had been until
recently derived from the old Jewels,
which were taken to pieces, recut and
remounted. Latterly, however, Peri
dots were discovered in Egypt and
placed on the market in great num-
bers. They are brilliant and of a fine
color, but do not compare with the
old stones. The same stone is found
in a delicate primrose yellow, and in
that state is called by the name Crys-
olite. This stone is not so valuable,
but really fine specimens are Just as
scarce.
