THE primary is wound in opposite
direction to the secondary. The end
of the primary winding directly under

PARIS, March 21.-Man is a wire

The time may come when man also
will be a wireless receiver, tuned in
to receive the tiny radio waves that
are emitted by other bodies and to
communicate with others by means
of these wavesl
This Is the prediction of Georges
Lakhovsky, eminent Partisan scient-
list, who has solved some of the most
delicate problems OF radio. He has
enunciated the theory that all living
creatures emit tiny radio waves and
that many already communicate with
one another. or are attracted to 9TH
ers, by means Of these emanations.
Radio Ears
physiology teaches US that our
sense Of directiono, of balance. Of
equilibrium is due to certain tiny ca
mails in the ear" says Lakhovsky.
"It suggests to mo that these may
play the part of wireless receivers.
Many insects have antennae that are
more than feelers. They are wireless
receivers and senders in all probable
fly"
Many birds and animals are guided
by special radiations. not by instinct
or a peculiar sense, he says Owls
and other night birds get their food
by help of the waves emitted by their
prey. he points out.
Some natl rallsts say bats are
guided by their fine hearing and sense
Of smell. But Lakhovsky says he
watched them in Paris while the noise
and odors Of taxis filed the air. Yet

tied his set recently before the Radio
Club Of America at Columbia Univer-
sity.
Farrand, in his receiver. has over
come the difficulties met in construc-
ton Of even two or three-stage tuned
io-frequency circuits. The con-
trolls are so intricate and the balance
so delicate that it Is almost impOssi-
bic to tune them.
On the Dial
This incr5cy has been avoided in
the super-pliodyne by the simple meth
cd Of creating a hank of variable con
densers. all tuned at the same time by
a single dial working the condensers
by means of worm gear arrangement.
The condensers are Enthusiastically
shielded from one another and are
- r4ee9
cheney under the single cotnrol.
The only other control on the set
is the dial for the antenna indUctance.
F'arrand's design is such that from
three 10 ten stages Of radio-frequency
may be used.
Oscillation is avoided by use of a
new principle by which any number of
radio-freqUency stages may he en-
plOyed. Between the grid and the
plate OF each tube Farrand has con
nected a nOnindUctive. low capacity
resistance. which changes the phase
Of the coupling current flowing be
tween the grid and plate circuits null
lilies most Of the feedhaCk caused by
the capacity Of the circuit and the
tube, and absorbs what remains as IL
is fed back.
Resistances
Says Farrand:
The value of resistance necessary
to nullify the grid to plate coupling
is dependent upon the design of the
tube, as we'll as the circuits. and is
not critical. For storage battery tubes
now in commercial production a re
distance ~oue-S-o f,a~rr-ae- - mn md
$4,000 ohms gives satisfactory per
Torrance for multistage operation.
One hundred thousand ohms IS
satisfactory value for the present
dry cell cubes and may vary between
10000 and 10000 ohms."
Describing his hook-up further, Far
rand goes on:
"A condenser is inserted in series
with the resistance between grid and
plate to prevent the plate battery
from flowing through it to the fla
ment. 1t is purely a blocking con
denser and may range between 1

Lax Rules Now

Not one Of these exists at present
Under the lax radio law we have to
day, broadcasting, amateur transmits
sion and commercial wireless have
such broad liberties that they are be-
ginning to interfere with one another
to the dissatisfaction Of millions OF
listeners.
The Diu-White bin now before
Congress promises to relieve this con-
fusion by exercising a little more
stringent government control than
has prevailed. It would assure all
qualifying broadcasters freedom from
encroachment by others, and would
see to it that the radio listener gets
high-grade service.
It is the closest approach to any
Of the three probabilities mentioned.
But. according to Independent
broadcasters, if the Government
doesn't step in soon, the chance Of a
private monopoly is imminent. If the
A. T. & T. wins its suit over WIN,
It would have good precedent to take
similar action against all but forty
eight Of the SCI broadcasting stations
| in the United States.
