Joy of Living Intensely

came down from Massachusetts to
lick New York. 1t was nip and tuck
between us for quite while, but. I've
got my foot on its neck-for the mo-
ment, anyway. 1 love New York.
love Its noise, its dirty streets, its city
smells. Under its roar I always feel
its heartbeat, big and strong. I still
feel the thrill from the lights of Broad
way. For me, spring begins when the
hurdy-gurdies play. Up in Massachu-
sets learned out of books. Things
were easy-and monotonous-with the
family always ready to decide every
thing for one But down here I've
learned life. I've learned the taste of
hunger and the kinship of loneliness.
It's great thing to learn, for it makes
JOY very sweet and laughter priceless.
There's only one failure in this whole
big city. It's the chap who really
thinks sit can't be done EVERY
body's Magazine.

Correct Resistance of
Rheostat Is Problem

The problem of determining the cor
rect resistance of rheostats often con-
fronts an experimenter who likes to de-
sign and build his own equipment. The
proper resistance to use depends on the
voltage of the "a" battery and the nor
NAL current that the tube operates on
most satisfactorily.
For WD-11 and WD-12 tubes on 1 "
volts a 6-ohm rheostat is satisfactory.
For UV-200 or C-300 tubes on 6
volts a 6-ohm rheostat should be used.
For a single C-3e1A or UV-201A
tubes or any u ampere tubes on 6
volts a 3O-ohm rheostat is proper.
For two C-301A or UV-2O1A tubes
in parallel 2O-ohm rheostat will suf-
fee.
For four of these tubes in parallel a
6-ohm rheostat will be sufficient.
For Uy-199 or C-299 tubes on Az
volts use a 30-ohm rheostat.
For 216A tubes use a 6-ohm rheostat
ON volts.

The Whales Breath

The herring fishermen of the Eng
fish coast, while searching the sea
for their quarry, follow certain signs
which indicate TIE presence OF the
fish. One of these signs is the pres
ence of a certain whale which lives on
the herring. This whale stays around
in close proximity to the fishermen
while they are at work and seems to
regard them as his friends, as indeed
they are. Only one habit of his an
noys them. II he breathes out one
long sigh in the direction of the work
ing crew they have to fly for their
lives, for his breath is suffocating
stencil.
There are stories that sometimes
fresh and ignorant young deckie has
been rude to the herring whale, thrust
q boat hook down his throat, for in
stance. Thus insulted, the whale loses
his temper and will destroy fleet Of
nets.--Los Angeles Times.

No matter how long you have
been sick or how much you have
suffered, you must not give up
hope. Mr.. John Wick, of Mono
monee Falls, Wisconsin, did not
and is we'll man today. In Sep
TENDER, 1918, he wrote: "I have
been user of Pe-ru-na for near
ly twenty years. I had catarrh of
the stomach for ten years. Moth
ing did me any good. I grew
worse until a friend advised me
to try Pe-ru-na. While using the
first bottle, I felt I had found
the right medicine. I am entirely
cured. My weight was down to
135 pounds and now I weigh 1876
pounds. I have used very little
medicine for the last ten years"
The condition known as catarrh-
al is not confined to the nose and
throat. 1t may be found wherever
there are mucous membranes and
is responsible for a multitude of
troubles. Coughs and colds are
catarrhal as we'll as stomach and
bowel disorders.
Do as John Wick did. Keep Pc
ru-na in the house. 1t stimulates
digestion, aids in throwing off the
poisonous secretions, enriches the
blood, increases the resistance to
disease and promotes good health
generally.
: Insist upon having genuine Pc
ru--na in either tablet or liquid
form. Your dealer has it.

A tuned open grid circuit, arranged
so that high frequency current may
pass into the grid and thus eliminate
Objectionable noises occasioned when
low frequency or rectifed current
passes into the grid, is claimed. by
Charles Kosnick, of New York city, in
an application for a patent. Benefits
said to be derived from the arrange
ment include a set that Is non-radiat-
Ing, sensitive. selective and remark
ably free from distortion. An added
advantage Is the low cost of construc-
ton.
Description of Circuit
Mr.. kosnick's patent description Of
his circuit follows:
Referring specifically to the drawing,
the vacuum tube which Is shown at V
is of the three electrode type, the plate
being indicated at p, the filament at F
and the grid at G.
The plate p is connected in circuit
with the usual battery and connected
In this circuit are phones or receivers
P1, while the fixed condenser CO is con-
--SN'NN oNiOSo IAiC llOlu OllG Sluc
of the phones P1 to the minus of the
B battery.
The filament f is connected in cir
cult with an A battery and included in
this circuit is rheostat r, by means
of which current to the filament may
be controlled The filament and plate
thus receive low frequency current.
The grid G is connected in an open
circuit with tuning elements, herein
shown as a variometer VI, with a
variable condenser G connected across
the plate, the grid of the tube V, one
side of the variometer being connected
TO the aerial Al. The opposite side of
the variometer Is connected with the
grid G and included In this connection
is a fixed condenser CT and grid
leak L. The plate circuit is connected
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1925-02-06

and as the circuit provides no grid re-
turn, such as is usually connected from
the filament + to the resistance or
variometer VI, no rectified or low fire.
quency current will pass into the grid.
This arrangement will eliminate OBJ
jectionable noises commonly found in
closed receiving circuits, will provide
clear signals and will eliminate radia-
ton. All Of these advantages are due
to the fact that there is no electric con-
nection between the grid and plate.
While the tuning elements in the cir
cult are shrown as a variometer and
variable condenser, 1t Is obvious that
other turning elements may be SUBJ
stltuted
Right to Make Changes.
The invention is susceptible of vari-
Gus changes in its form, proportions
and minor details of construction and
the right is herein reserved to make
such changes as properly fall within
the scope of the appended claims, ends
the patent description.
The principal advantage of this cir
cult lies in its tone quality equaling
that of a crystal detector. The tuning
is fair and the excellent reception COM
pensates for the lack of sharp tuning.
Local stations, however, are easily
separated.
Parts needed include the following !:
Variometer 600 meters capacity.
Variable condenser five plate.
Tubes POI A or U. V. 1919 are suit
able.
Grid leak is unnecessary.
Fixed condenser capacity .001 makes
circuit non-radiating, but reduces the
signal strength, therefore is conditional.
Radiation is slight without con-
'denser.
Amplifier Of any type may be added
to this circuit.-New York Mail.

Your Grandfather Laughed at
This One

do not pretend that these stories
are all new, but merely that they are
the stories which the writer likes best
of those he has heard. Indeed, some
of them are old-very, very old. The
one which follows has the merit of
antiquity. / am including it in the
present series because l think it is an
almighty good one.
On south Georgia plantation a
group of darkies went coon-hunting
one night. Because of his love for the
ancient and honorable sport they took
with them Uncle Sam, the patriarch Of
the colored quarters. Uncle Sam was
over eighty years old and all kinked
up with rheumatism. He hobbled along
behind the hunters as they filed off
through the woods.
The dogs ''treed" in a sweet gum
snag on the edge of Pipemaker
swamp, five miles from home; but
when the tree fell there rolled out of
the top of it, not raccoon but a full
! grown black bear, full of fight and
temper.
The pack gave one choral ki-yi Of
shock and streaked away, yelping as
, they went; and the two-legged hunt
ers followed, fleeing as fast as their
legs would carry them.
When they came to moonlit place
,, in the woods they discovered that I'm
Gle Sam was missing; but they did not
go back to look for him-they did not
even check up.
"Pore ole Unc' Sam !" bemoaned one
of the fugitives, between pants. "His
ole laigs must "a give out on him fob
he went ten jumps. reckin dat bears
feastin' on his bones right dis min.
ute"
Oats so! OATS SOL" grunted one Of
the others. pore Unc' Sam!''
When they reached the safety of the
cotton patches in an exhausted state
they limped to Uncle Sans cottage to
| break the news to the widow. There
was light in the window; and when
they raped at the door, and it opened,
the sight of him who faced them
across the threshold made them gasp.
Fob de Lawd!" exclaimed one.
How you git heah?"
"Me?" said Uncle Sam calmly, II
come long wild de dawgs."

receiver case, and the distance of the
diaphragm from the pole-piece tips
depended on the trueness of the re-
ceiver shell. With the best of ma
chinery and manufacturing methods
the receiver shell cannot be made ac-
cHrate enough to insure that the dis
lance Of the air gap will be uni
form.
Another disadvantage of this meth
cd of construction was that the case
had to be made extra strong to hold
the weight of the magnets and coils.
The inner surface of the case had to
be absolutely true and each side of
the magnet drawn down evenly to the
inside of the case with the mounting
screws. This added considerably to
the weight of the receiver.
An Improvement has been designed
by Maj. Herbert III. Frost, United
States signal corps reserve, in the
method of mounting the magnets and
the pole pieces which eliminates the
uncertainty of the diaphragm adjust
ment and permits the use of a much
lighter receiver shell.
The magnets and the pole pieces are
mounted on strong aluminium stamp
Ing that has flange for supporting
and seating the diaphragm. In this
manner the distance between the dia-
phragm and the tip of the pole pieces
is always the same, within a very
slight variation either way. The tips
of the pole pieces can then be slight
ly ground down so that the distance is
practically identical in every receiver.
The ends of the phone cords are then
attached directly to the coils and the
whole thing inserted in the receiver
case, much like the assembly of a
watch.
The earpiece screws into the case
and the magnet assembly and dia-
phragm are securely held in place.
The troublesome nuts and connections
for the headphones on the back of the
case are eliminated and the chances
for leakage CT energy across the bush
ings, where the connections are
brought through from the inside of the
case, are done away with.
