We had proceeded some five more
miles when again we saw a white
arrow upon the rocks. 1t was at a
point where the face of the cliff was
for the first time split into a narrow
cleft. Inside the cleft was a second
guidance mark, which pointed right
up It with the tip somewhat elevated,
as If the spot indicated were above
the level Of the ground.
1t was a solemn place, for the
walls were so gigantic and the slit
of blue sky SO narrow and so OBJ
secured by a double fringe of YER
dure, that only a dim and shadowy
light penetrated to the bottom. We
ordered the camp to be pitched, and.
leaving the Indians to arrange 1t.
we four, with the two half-breeds,
proceeded up the narrow gorge.
It was not more than forty feet
across at the mouths but it rapidly
closed until it ended in an acute
angle, too straight and smooth for
an ascent. Certainly 1t wasnot this
which our pioneer had attempted to
indicate. We made our way back

ing. High UP above our heads, amid
the dark shadows there was one
circle of deeper gloom. Surely It
could only be the opening of the
cave.
The base of the cliff was heaped
with loose stones at the spot, and 1t
was not difficult to Chamber up.

Conference on Radio Rights.


The fight between authors. COM
posers and writer's on the one hand
and broadcasting stations on the
other, which started in the United
States sometime ago, has assumed in
ternational proportions. An interna-
tional conference to discuss the pro-
lection of intellectual property rights
in radio transmission has been called
by the Society of Authors of Spain
for May 16.
The Junta Directiva de Ia Sociedad
de Autores of Madrid has invited all
societies of authors, editorial syndi
Gates, editors, transmission companies
and radio societies of Europe and
America to be represented. The pat
ronage of the Spanish Government
will he solicited. also the support of
the Society of Composers, the Asso-
Citations of Impresarios of Public
Spectacles. the Syndicate of Spanish
Actors and the Spanish Musical Union.
The subject to be discussed at the
conference will be international pro-
lection of the rights of authors, COM
posers, ct al. to deny or permit the
use Of their works for a Considera-
tion when transmitted by radio. After
affirming these rights the conference
may ask all nations adhering to the
convention of Berne to add to their
legislation on intellectual property
articles in conformity with the find
fngs of the conference. Probably
through the amendments of copyright
laws as is being sought in the United
States.
The powers will have to determine
what amounts tran smisSion stations
must pay for each program, how much
for each song, composition or other
item of the program. or whether a
percentage, probably not less than 10
per cent Of gross receipts, may be
charged.
The meeting of this congress will
give the international press an oppor-
tunity to debate the legitimacy of using
the radio for advertising purposes,
etc. and to debate rules for receiving
as we'll as tran nSmitting stations.

have entered into an agreement in

per cent of its charge In four weeks, rs
compared with per cent which was lost
by a similar battery with the ordinary
solution. Batteries .0ntaining solutions
of higher than normal specific gravity
often give less capacity al high rates of
discharge, as when cranking the engine
of an automobile. depending upon the
behavior of the negative plates. The
higher the specific gravity of the cleo
trolyte the more injurious is the action
upon the separatorS. 1t is well recog-
nized principle in battery operation that
acid should be added only to replace
that which may have been spilled, or in
rare instances to adjust the specific
gravity to the required standard after
the completion of a full charge.
Although the materials and coloring
matter considered individually may be
harmless, the disadvantages in using
such solutions more than offset any
temporary gain. The usual electrolyte
of pure sulphuric acid and water, ad-
justed TO the proper specific gravity at
the completion of a full charge. is be-

RADIO QUERIES

Radio Editor:
Your queries" columns and the
radio page generally are very inter
esting and instructive. In Wednes-
days edition Another Fan under
takes to enlighten me as to static
and regenerative set operation, which
l appreciate; also for the suggestion
that ] should secure a more efficient
set. OF course, / am fully cognizant
that these admonitions are meant in
good spirit, and L must admit: that
do not know very much about radio
and feel that / have wanted to know
what this cracking noise was and
asked for such information, but do
not consider the answer solution
at all. / have never known static
to be a continuous cracking, spark
inglike sound of uniform intensity
and suddenly entirely leave the at
mosphere perfectly clear, remaining
SO far from five minutes to a half hour,
and then come buzzing back in again.
And then, too, the static sounds are
generally with a crashing effect or
sound and much more in evidence
on cloudy warm nights, or frequently
on cloudy and stormy colder nights
The cracking crackles just as much
on clear as any other nights ana
clears out entirely or comes back in
static could be eliminated in any tube
set without also eliminating volume
or sustaining some sacrifice.
I use g. three-circuit receiver, en-
ploying regeneration along with sew
eraI other features, but as a neutral
izing condenser is also brought into
play, my set positively does not ra-
diate-it simply can't; so, whether !
know how to tune the set or not, l
do know I am not intruding any

ing.
Perhaps my set is not very selec-
| tive, at that. Before we had SO much
