GERMAN STATION

Engineers Believe.

Considerable interest in the agree.

broadcast programs this Winter was
expressed by officials OF the Depart

Work on the German transmitting
station. enabling 1t to operate with
maximum Of 100 kilowatts of power
will be rushed in the expectation Of
commencing the broadcasting ex-
change by October.
Radio engineers here believe the
broadcasting under the conditions
planned will prove successful. The

of power in broadcasting from Lon

The Changing Styles in Radio
Receivers and Circuits.

Large hats give place to small ones
knee.length skirts follow in the wake
of those with flowing trains, colors
follow each other in rapid succession
and materials Of various kinds strut
their stuff on the stage Of fashion
The tickle fancy Of public approval
fits from one style to another. This
is just as true in automobile and radio
styles as it is in dress fashion.
Radio began in humble fashion.
Time was when the crystal detector
type Of circuit was practically the
only type in use. Then the single
tube detector with its increased range
and louder signals rapidly supplanted
the crystal detector.
The one-tube circuit and receiver
filled the bill for a short time and
then the public began clamoring for
greater distance and greater volume.
Efficiency Tests Cited.
This early period in the develop.
ment of radio broadcasting, wha6
every fan was clamoring for greater
efficiency without adding costly tunss
and apparatus. proved the boom time
for numberless Revolutionary" cir
cults, each claiming greater efficiency
than the next one.
Investors were kept busy modifying
and, camouf1aging the old reliable re-
generative circuit, and buster atill in
venting catch names for theif respec-
tive circuits. The weekly radio sup
plement started them on thair merry
way with a score of super.atives and
| each circuit ran its course entil new
, one was launched in tho same way.
OF the many that wsya introduced,
only the standard reEenerative and
reflex circuits stood thrir ground and
emerged as popular as ever while
| their cotemporaries srere laid to rest
beneath the sod.
The three-tube r,generative set and
the various typsH of reflex sets have
survived and s<e now as popular as
ever.

rent consumption. the factor Of tube
and battery economy became less and
less important SO that developments in
sets using more than three tubes
began to come forward.
The Neutrodyne circuit did more
than any other in popularizing the
| five-tube receiver. Many other types
of radio frequency circuits followed
but the Neutrodyne has had such a
| fine start that 1t will be some time
before the others catch up to 1t in
popularity. The five.tube tuned radio
| frequency receiver enables the fan to
cut out undesired stations and bring
in the desired stations without inter
| ference, even when the desired station
| is located at a considerably greater
distance than the undesired one.
For use with a small inside or out
side aerial, the five-tube tuned radio
frequency receiver is a great favorite.
The super-heterodyne receiver is a
circuit which will have to be reckoned
nth this Fall. The selectivity and

a yard in length and foot in average
diameter, seemed to be composed of two
alike units, or to be twin or double COM
position, Joined at the side and making all
motions in unison. The exact point of
junction could not be perfectly dis
tinguished, but the two oblong bodies
were clearly separated for at least five
inches. The heads were at least two feet
high, and seemed ridiculously large for
the size of the bodies. They were flat
and extended far above and below the
body proper. What appeared to be the
mouths were constantly wide open, and
were highly luminescent.
DIR. Hartman's visit to the depths was
enlivened by a lurid drama. The first
character to appear on the improvised
stage in the glare of his spotlight re-
sembling a living, floating balloon. 1t
constantly changed its dimensions, often
attaining four times its original size,
When largest, it measured about three
feet, and was transparent and of faint
rose color. When smallest, it was less
than one foot, and more luminous. On
one side of the body was a conical open
ing which increased and diminished ac-
cording to the change in diameter. Around
the body ran circular line which was of
a very marked phosphorescence.
The second character of the deep-sea
performance was rarely beautiful crea-
ture, consisting of dark purple globe
from which smaller globes of a light red
color ranged in all directions. The smaller
globes were like luminous balls connected
individually with the center body by thin
tubular feelers. At times the creature
would form a radiant star. Again, all the
little bulbs would droop downward, sug-

costing in this position delicately tinted
electric fixture with a number of tiny
lamps. Occasionally the little bulbs would
concentrate closely around the center of
the larger lightball, and finally shrink to
a single brilliantly lighted unit.
For a few moments the beautiful crea-
ture went through its fantastic manoeu-
vres before the sinister balloon, like a
slave girl dancing to please some blinking,
inflated caliph. But, in one graceful,
climatic movement, it swept too close to
danger. In flash, it was swallowed up,
or rather drawn in to the ominous conical
shaped opening. The beautiful creature
shrank violently within the transparent
globe, which promptly contracted to its
smallest diameter and disappeared into
the hazy depths But within the suddenly
darkened body of its destroyer the once
gay and lovely thing still shone as
luminous ball. Z
Tragedy was followed by comedy on the
stage of the abyss. Next came an oval
shaped buffoon with its amusing antics.
This creature measured about a yard in
length, which it practically doubled by
throwing out long fin or dagger-like
projection with a straightforward mo-
ton. AS a charming finale number APP

does not venture
a guess as to what startling shapes his re-
Hector may reveal in the translucent
blackness at the 5000 foot and perhaps
eve en- greater depths to which he will pen
citrate during his Mediterranean expedi-
ton. But basing his hope on the marked
differences he observed in the denizens
OF each successive stratum between the
surface and the lowest point of his ex-
detrimental descents, he fully expects to
contribute to science many hitheroto I'M
known species.
There is a possibility that the giant
octopus, whose tentacles are so strong
that it has, according to legend, dragged
big ships down to their destruction, may
be found. There is, scientists declare,
reason to believe that the huge monster
actually exists. Fragments of the great
tentacles have recently been found near
the region to be explored by Dr. Hartman.
While he remained at the 15O0 loot
depth, fantastic forms in infinite variety
passed in review before the cylinders
portfolio. Some, he relates, looked like
big, mechanical toys in their regular, de-
liberate movements. Others tralled their
phosphorescent bodies through the dark
ness. and gave the effect of illuminated
aeroplanes describing nose-dives and
"stunt" figures in the sky at night. Still
others went through picturesque trans
formations of form and color with slow,
undulating grace. All seemed to be at
tracted by the light, and many lowered in
its beam, as though under hypnotic spell,
during the entire period of his investlga-
ton. He recorded and drew scores of odd
and outlandish specimens. Some had vast
ewes and others were apparently "eye-
less" Many had great heads out of all
proportion to their tiny, dwindling bodies.
Others were completely or partially
luminescent in many colors and in vary
ing degrees of brilliancy.,
One creature that stands out from his
descriptions with unforgettable vividness
was a large dark ball in form, resembling
a floating globe, without fins or prOjec-
tons of any kind. 1t struck the cylinder
and instantly changed into long, tubular
shape, like an eel or python, and measured
at least IL feet in length. The change
was so violent and swift that DIR. Hart
man was unable to follow the movement,
hut il seemed to him as though the long,
stretched body had been shot from the
Globes interior as bright, phosphorescent
bolt. II then disappeared into the dark
ness with a glowing head.
Another remarkable creature, whose
color and luminescence were so faint and
delicate that both were uncertain, would
become entirely invisible without any ap-
parent movement, only to appear suddenly
and in the same form and at the identical
spot. This weird disappearing act" was
repeated several times before the port
hole. DIR. Hartman is at loss to explain
the strange phenomenon, but he is posi-
tive that the creature did not move out of
sight and reappear again at another point.
One specimen, he recalls, suggested the
double-headed dragons of ancient legend.
This uncanny creature, measuring about

task be the raising of
sunken object. Similarly, he can direct,
wa the telephone, the operation of a de-
wee for catching deep-sea creatures and
bringing them to the surpface in a trap
which preserves their normal conditions
of pressure.
In the course of the examination of
Greek and Roman galleys in the Mediter-
ranean, it is possible that DIR. Hartman's
expedition will bring to light some of the
most famous treasure of the ancient
world. The seasons program calls for the
survey of the wrecks of several triremes
wrecked near Carthage in 455 A. d., as
they were nearing the North African
stronghold of the Vandal King, Geneseric,
after his sacking of Rome. They were
part of 400 vessels into which had been
loaded the Roman loot, following a pill
lage of the Imperial City for ID days and
nights. The galleys contained bronze,
silver and marble statues of the Pagan
gods which adorned the capital, and the
sacred vessels and the holy seven-branch-
ed candle-sticks from the Temple of
Solomon, brought by Titus from Jeru-
salem.
Among the Grecian treasures was the
golden roof of the Temple of Apollo.
There were also shrines and affairs of gold
and precious stones from the Christian
churches, the priceless ornaments of the
Imperial PALACE, the sideboards of mas
sive silver and other art objects from the
city's patrieian mansions and suburban
villas Gold, silver and rare marbles were
removed from the buildings and heaped
upon the galleys' decks. Nothing, in fact,
that could be transported was spared.
