AUSPICES of the Asahi, that newspaper
announces this morning. Two Briguet
airplanes, which are to be ntted with
4OO-horsepower Lorraine engines,
ordered from France, are being as
sembled for the flight. The Asahi
saws the imperial government, in
cludinc the naval, military and radio
departments, will cooperate.
Premier Kato and Foreign Minister
Shidehara have congratulated the
Asahi on it's enterprise, the first of It's
kind planned in Japan, mot, the
newspaper says, "aS an imitation OF

Stations in Greenland.

What are reported to be the farthest
north broadCasting stations will
shortly be erected in Greenland by
the Danish government. They will
be located at Julianehaab. Godthaab,
Godhaven and Angmagsalik. While
none of the stations will be power
full, they will at least reach the in
habitants of this bleak land, many
of whom receive mail only once a
year. These four stations may prove
of value to the meteorological serv-
ice in mapping dead spots and in
the study of the magnetic pole. as
well as an aid to Arctic exploration

One Tube Set Gets Distance.

A vacuum tube regenerative set.

signals from nearly the same dis
tance as a set having an audio-fre-
quency amplifier. The ampIifier
serves to increase the strength of
signals brought in by the detector

TWO-STEP AMPLIFIER.
Fan Should Not Leace Out Jack
Between Pair.

Sometimes in building a two-step
amplifier the radio fan is tempted
to leave out the jack for the first
stage of amplification- This is a big
mistake, because using one stage and
the receivers is the best way to bring
in the distant signals.
When the second stage is used the
tube noises become so great that it
is frequently difficult to really bring
in a distant station. On the other
hand, the first stage iS free of this
kind of noise and will be found to
be the ideal combination.

The Makeup of Batteries for Radio
Work.

Work.
1t is interesting to see how few
people. even AMONG those who can
build and operate their sets to good
advantage, really understand the fun
damental action and the method Of
using batteries in a circuit.
Some people, for instance, are sur
prised TO find that a very small bat
terry may have a voltage of from
22M to 45 volts. while a very large
storage battery is capable of deliv-
ering only volts.
Others cannot understand why
they cannot use a small six-volt bat
terry for lighting the filaments os the
large six-volt tubes.
To begin with, let us understand
clearly the difference between a cell
and battery
A cell is a source of current hav-
ing a single compartments; containing
two electrodes and the active mate
rial. 1t makes no difference whether
it is the dry" type or the wet"
type of cell.
A battery is a combination OBJ
tained by connecting two or more
sells together either in series or in
parallel.
Dry Cell Voltage.
The average dry cell, no matter
what its size, has a voltage of ap-
proximately Is volts The average
storage cell has voltage slightly
over volts when charged.
The smallest fashlight cell has the
same voltage characteristic as the
largest dry cell used for bell-ringing
and other such purposes, but there is
big difference in it's current capac-
ity.
In other words, while any prop
erly-made dry cell will deliver Il
voltage of 10 volts, the length OF
time that 1t Will deliver or maintain
this voltage depends on the current
capacity of the cell or the size of the
electrodes and the amount of active
material.
The same applies to storage cells.
Each cell regardless of size, Will
deliver two volts, but the length of
time they will maintain this voltage
and continue to give a usable cur
rent will depend on the size of the
cell.
The current capacity of a cell may
be increased in either or both Of two
ways. The first, that of increasing
the size of the cell, must be tax en-
care of in the design and manufacture
OF the cell. Where several small
cells are available. however, the
same effect can be obtained by con-
Meeting two or more cells together in
parallel TO form a battery of cells
connected in parallel for the purpose
of increasing the current capacity OF
the unit
The only way that higher voltages
can be obtained is by connecting two
or more cells in series. The 4.5-volt

Boys Set Annoys King.

Some troublesome squeals and
howls that have been audible re-
Gently in the private radio receiver
of King George installed at Bucking-
ham Palace have been traced, it is
reported, to an unlicensed youngster
in the neighborhood who had con-
structed a set capable of radiating
energy from it's antenna- Such sets
are unlawful in England and in the
case of this offender there was the
added horror of having annoyed the
King.

WAGE RAISE 1925 AIM
OF WORKERS In BRITAIN
Mining, Engineering and Ship
building Trades to Fight for
Increase in Pay.

LONDON, January "A concerted
effort is to be made early in the New
Year by the ski1leds and unskilled
workers in the United Kingdom for
an all-around increase in wages. The
Industries affected will include min
ing, engineering and shipbuilding.
The employees concerned number about
100000, and the claims, it is esti-
mated, will aggregate about f100,-
0o0, 600 a year.
The group of engineering and metal
trades, involving about 100000 men,
want a fiat FL increase; the ship
building workers ask about the same
rate of increase, while the miners
will fight for a UNIFORM minimum
wage of II shillings a day.

Don't Misuse Tubes.

Do not try to use a detector tube
for an amplifier. as it will not stand
as high plate voltage as the ampli-
fer tubes. This is due to the fact
that some gases are allowed to re-
main, and it is not complete vacuum.
1t IS this gas that will not allow the
application of a higher plate voltage,
as the gas ionizes and makes the
tube steadily conductive from the
filament to the plate.

NORTHERN FARMERS
INVADING FLORIDA
Excursions To Hollywood Of.
fer Opportunity To Inves-
tigate Conditions

A large percentage Of the visitors
to Southern Florida during this sum-
mer are farmers from many points in
the north, despite work that the men
of the farms have left during the sum-
mel to investigate the agricultural
possibilities of Florida. This was oc-
cs.sioned by the excursions that have
been run to various points in Florida,
particularly to Hollywood, which is a
new all year resort city on the Allan
tic Ocean between Palm Beach and
Miami.
At the Hollywood hotels this sum-
mer have been registered men who
said they had had experience in farm
ing in the East, many who because
of low productivity or bad markets "a
bandoned farms in New England.
Other farms from many points in
the middle west and in the south have
been making Investigations into Flori-
da agriculture with the idea of adjust
ing their training and habits of farm
ing to Florida conditions.
These men have found that two or
three crops of vegetables may be rails
ed in Florida and that the earnings
per acre are high. Commissioner of
Agriculture Mayo, at the State Capt.
tol Tallahassee, has been furnishing
information of all sorts to farmers of
the north who because of bad returns
from the acres of the north have been
seeking information about the new
state to the south.
Florida is u state of large produc-
tivity now. Oranges and grape fruit
are not the only things grown on
Florida acres. A car load of vege-
tables according to statistics, come
out of Florida every hour for north
ern markets.
Less than three per cent of the
acreage in Florida is under cultiva-
ton. The Everglades are being drain
ed now, and each year are more and
more being made ready for the COM
ing of the farmers.
Florida offers opportunity, it has
been said, for 100000 gardeners and
fruit growers and it has even been
suggested that the immigration laws
be let down to admit that amount of
small farmers from Italy and France.

MANY METHODS
or SIGNALING
Early Intentions for "Long.
Distance" Talk.

The fabulous honor of being the
first inventor OF the art of signaling,
says the Scientific American, is be-
slowed by certain classical writer's
upon the ingenious Palamedes, but 1t
is certain that long before the time
of the Trojan war the Egyptians and
AsSyrians, if not the Chinese and 9th
or nations of remote antiquity-Of
whom monumental records alone re-
main to us-had developed regular
methods of signaling by fire. smoke,
flags, and so on. Signals were passed
from tower to tower Of the Great Wall
Of China, and the Tower of Babel
was signal tower.
Beacons are "as old as the hills"
Those lighted on Mounts Ida. Athos,
Citheron and intervening heights con-
veyed information of the taking Of
Troy by Agamemnon. Leander was
guided across the lIellespont by the
signal lamp displayed by Hero in her
tower at Sestos. One night the lamp
was blown out--he was drowned, and
she then threw herself into the waves.
Theseus. in the Argonautic expedition,
conveyed information by colors Of the
sails hoisted, but killed his father
through Geographic error; for.
flushed with victory, he forgot his sig
nal. and old Aegeus, seeing the black
sail, and feeling sure his son was dead.
flung himself into the sea.
The use Of mirrors to flash signals
by the suns rays dates back to the
time Of the pharaohs. The Persians
are said to have considerably devel-
oped it for purposes Of war.
The Persians, the Gauls and the Az
tees communicated by relays of senti-
nels shouting to one another, and Alex
ander, by means Of the stentorophonic
tube, tactician Arnios communicated
at night by means of tall vessel con-
tainlng water, which was let out slow
ly by tap at the bottom; on the
water floated cork disk carrying a
gauge with divisions down the side,
and on each division separate SEN
tence was inscribed. Each signaling
point had one Of these contrivances
and on light being shown from one
station it was acknowledged by the
other, and each clepsydra opened at
the moment. When the surface OF
the water receded to the sentence
required, the signaling station again
showed light, when the other stopped
the outflow and read the words in.
scribed at the water level upon the
corresponding gauge.
Hannibal erected watch towers In
Africa and Spain to signal from; and
whenever the Romans extended their
conquests in Gaul. Spain or elsewhere
they made use Of similar signaling de-
vices. A representation Of one Of their
telegraph towers Is engraved on Tro
JAMS column, and ruins Of some OF
them are still to be seen in parts OF
France.
