Once PorG''ous Cities
RccIai..cd by Jungle

The old question whether thing
can be lost when you know where II
is applies In part to lost cities, be
cause the sites OF many Of them are
known and In some cases even the
buildings and statvAry are almost In
tact.
Now. however, their only lnhabit-
ants are the beasts Of the jungle, lions
prowl through their echo;ng halls,
monkeys race across their frstted
arches and snakes lura in their dark
dungeons or glide across their crum-
bling payeneAts.
For instance, the holy city of the
Buddhsts -Earaboedoer, In Java
had been forgotten for GOO years when
Sir Stamford Rafies red!scovercd 1t
and its wonderful temple, the eighth
wonder Of the world, says writer in
London Answers.
The Jungle Of Siam has hidden Its
ancient capital. Ayuthia. for four cen
turtles. Its Inhabitants fed befsre the
conQuering Burmese, and never re-
turned. 1t Is now said to be TIE Turk

snakes.

Tibet. which Captain Rawiing discov-

Cambodia. The carved stone ole
plants, the immense causeways, the
majestic temples, still remain, but
the jungle has invaded the streets

His Way Out Of Dilemma

The commanding officer looked
down the charge sheet to see what
type of case he had to deal with that
morning.
Suddenly he started. r.
"Mutinyl" he muttered. Private
King charged with mutiny!" Then
aloud: Where is the corporal who
made this arrest?"
Here, SIR" answered a corporal,
stepping forward.
DO you charge Private King with
<mutiny?" was the stern inquiry.
II do. SIR was the reply.
ION what grounds?"
The corporal hesitated for q mo-
ment. Then:
SWELL, sir" he said, confidentially,
1T was really INSTRUMENTATION, but
didn't know how to spell that, SO I
put 'mutiny.'"

Transformers Alike.
In principle, however. all transform
ers are alike. The principle of in
duction is the basic action on which
the transformer acts. Last week
explained the action that takes place
in an electrical circuit when alternat.
ing or pulsating current is flowing in
a circuit. If coil Is connected in an
electrical circuit. whether II be direct
current or alterna ting current, the ac-
ton of the current flowing in the coil
is to produce q magnetic field around
the coil. If the current which pro-
duces this magnetic field is varying
in intensity. the field will also vary
in intensity in step with the variations
of the current. We think of magnetic
field in terms Of magnetic lines of
f1uX which expand outward from
conductor when the current decreases.
When the current is varying, these
magnetic lines expand outward from
or contract inward into the conductor.
II another conductor Is placed in
this field and connected up into a
complete electrical circuit a current
will be induced in the secondary cir
cult by the alternate increasing and
decreasing magnetic lines of fiux
around the coil.
Connect Terminals of Coil.
This action may be obtained by con
nectipS the terminals of coil across
an alternating current generator or
in the plate circuit Of a vacuum tube.
In the case Of the plate circuit Of
a tube. we will have pulsating direct
current which is not alternating be-
cause there Is no reversal Of direction
of current flow. but which produces
current which is varying in in
tensity, being OF a high value one
instant and dying down To Il low
value the next.

The Principles Underlying Trans
former Action. Part /,

The transformer Is one of the most
important. simplest, yet least under
stood de-ic used in electrical and
radio circuits. Fans who speak gliby
or radio and audio frequency trans.
formers know that they are used
when energy Is to be transferred from
one circuit to another or when it is
desired to change the characteristics
OF current. but the principles under.
lying It's action remain dark mys.
terry. AS matter of fact. the action
that goes on in transformer Is very
simple. very interesting and very inn
portant.
In the first place. the action of the
transformer depends on constantly
changing current which produces d
constantly changing magnetic fiuX
around coil through which the cur
rent In the circuit is made to flow.
4 transformer cannot be used on di-
rect current Of the steady, unvarying
type. 1t can only be used in connec.
ton with alternating current or with
a fiuctuatinS or pulsating direct cur:
rent.
Component Current Action.
The only part of the direct current
which causes an action in trans
former Is the varying component of
the current.
The three essential parts Of any type
of transformer. whether 1t be used for
ordinary electrical work or for radio,
are the primary winding, the sec
ondary winding and the core.
The windings of the transformer
may vary considerably in shape, size
and type of wire used. They may be
made of heavy wire or very fine wire:
they may have only a few turns or
they may consist of thousands Of
turns: they may he wound one over
the other. besides each other or sepa
rated some distan nee from each other.
