Fayette Marsh under the firm
name of Marsh & Searles. In
"a he was associat ed in the firm
of Searles, Ewing & Gail. A
few years later this firm dis
solved when Mr.. Ewing moved to
St. Paul and Mr.. Gail removed
his interests to California. From
that time, Mr.. Searles has been
in law for himself. Upon his re-
tirement he will continue his pri-
vate law practice.
At the beginning of the Civil
war, Mr.. Searles entered the SER
vice of the Union at the age Of
20 as a private in the ambulance
corps, X company, First Mime
sofa Volunteer infantry. He en-
listed at Hastings. Soon after his
enlistment, he was promoted to
the position of hospital steward
and from then on was promoted
steadily in the service until he
was commissioned a captain
He was mustered out in the
spring of 1864 and early in the
summer of the same year joined
the expedition that left at that
time for South Dakota to locate
Fort Wadsworth.
Fort Wadsworth later became
known as Fort Sisseton and is
situated near the Sioux reserva-
ton that includes a tribe by that
name.
Mr.. Searles stayed at Fort
Wadsworth until the fall of Sc
when he met Joseph Denshaw
Brown, famous pioneer explorer
and Indian trader in Minnesota's
early history. For several years
Mr.. Searles and Mr.. Brown were
associated in the Indian trade.
Mr.. Searles remembers the bitter
winters and thrilling adventures
of those days as though they
were yesterday. Mr.. Brown is
famous in all of Minnesota's early
histories as one of the most in
trepid and constructive pioneers
during the birth of the state.

RETIRING JUDGE HAS
HAD ACTIVE CAREER

The St. Paul Pioneer Press re-
Gently contained the following
account OF the activities OF ]. N.
Searles OF saltwater who retired
on Jan. LIST, from the office OF
Judge Of the Nineteenth Judicial
District.
The retirement of Judge ]. N.
Searles from the bench of the dis
trict court on January /, marks
the close in public service of an
influential and varied career in
the interest of Minnesota and the
United States.
A veteran of the Civil war, an
Indian trader in the early sixties,
a student of law followed by
practice of law which brought
him into different branches of
public service, Judge Searles has
known the hardships of war and
pioneer life as we'll as the en-
joyment of the increasing con-
venience and comforts of a rap
idly developing community.
Judge for Seven Years
Mr.. Searles has been Judge of
the district court for the past
seven years. He was appointed
by Governor Burnquist to fill the
vacancy made by the death of
Judge ]. c. Nethaway in the sum-
mer of 1917. He was defeated
in the last election by A. p. Stol-
berg of Center City.
Before his elevation to the
bench Mr.. Searles practiced law
in Saltwater, his present home,
for 35 years.
In that time he held various
public offices. He was county
attorney for Dakota county Ia
part of which later became Wash
ington county, in II and ~. In
the winter of 's1-'S2 he repre-
sented his community in the
state legislature as the represen-
tative from the Forty-third dis
trict.
In his law practice at Stillwa-
ter, Mr.. Searles has been assoc
lated at different times with sew
eral law firms. In the fall of 81
he formed partnership with

Hot Gross Buns Ancient

Did King Tut eat hot cross
buns? Probably he did-for his
tory relates that the quaint old Gus
tom started way back in Egypt,
when the pyramids were new and
the ancient Egyptians offered their
favorite breads to their moon god
dess.
Whether they did or not, certain
it is that the buns of that day
could not compare in richness or
delicacy with those baked now.
There is real nourishment in these
delicious buns, by reason of the
extra fine ingredients SO generously
used in them.-the plenty of sugar
and spice and fresh yeast and big,
luscious currants.

have to warn the Riddles against.

Col Winding

The easiest way taps may be
taken off is by winding on a certain
number OF turns and the wire
twisteded together at tn epoint so as
to make five or six-irich loop and
certain number OF turns again
wound on the tube and the next tap
made in similar manner. Or, a
neater looking job is made by wind
ing on certain number of turns
before making tap and then al
low six inches for a tap; push a
hole in the tube and push the wire
through it; push another hole in the
tube about quarter inch from the
other and close to the last turn of
wire and allow six inches for a tap
and join the two six-inch ends to-
gether on the inside Of the tube.

been carried on in connection with
the established radio transmitting
stations now engaged in sending
radiograms daily between Europe
and America Thus the new de-
vice does not require the prepare
ton of any special radio circuits
for efficient operation.
AT central receiving station the
operator tunes In to the Carnavon
station and receives the picture
the same as he would a radiogrann,
but instead of dots and dashes
which he can read he receives an
undecipherable Series OF impulses.
These pass through a bank Of
vacuum tube anplifiers and are
then sent by land wire to the lab
oratory of the Radio Corporation,
located in the building in Broad st.
Here this unintelligible code,
carrying the photograph, is trans
lated hack into black and white,
recording the original picture
. much in the style of a stippled en-
craving.
Picture Is Reasseinbled
= This device in RCA Laboratory
(the final operation involved be-
tween transmitter and receiver de-
codes or unscrambles the complex
photo message, giving each indi-
vidual electrical pulse Of energy
a definite task to perform in reas-
sembling the picture.
The picture is reproduced in du-
plcate at the receiver. both on a
paper record and on Photographic
film. The paper upon which the
record is made is wrapped about
a rotating cylinder, which re-
sernbles the early type wax pho
nograph record A special foun-
tain pen bears against this as the
needle OF the monograph does.
The pen is attached to an cleo.
trically controlled lever so that
very pulse Of electrical current
which passes through the magIiet
coils of the relay lever draws the
pen to the surface Of the paper,
making fine ink mark. A chang
ing current fed through the mag
net coils causes the pen to wig
gle in step with the current i'm

stippling effect in the reproduced
picture.
Absolute synchronism Of the
sending apparatus with the re-
ceiving device, is necessary other
wise distortion will occur. II the
receiving apparatus should lag the
slightest particle of time behind
the transmitting set, the picture
would be unacceptable.
Same Speed Maintained
This necessary synchronism is
maintained by the use of special
driving motors, one geared to the
transmitting cylinder and the
other to the receiving cylinder.
These motors, although separated
by 5000 miles, maintain the same
speed. To check against any
change which might occur, special
: controlling mechanism is attached
to the receiver, based upon the
constant pitch of the tuning fork.

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-01-15

For the actual operation OF the
transmitter, the picture, printed
matter or whatever is to be sent, is
first photographed on an ordinary
camera film. This is developed and
placed on a glass cylinder. held in
place by metal clips. The picture
is then ready to be transmitted.
Inside this glass cylinder is an
incandescent lamp, the light from
which is focused In a minute beam
on to the film as the cylinder is
set in motion. AS the light and
dark portions OF the picture are
transversed by the light beam, the
intensity of the ray is changed.
This ever mchanging beam, after
having passed through the film,
is again focused through another
lens outside the cylinder on to the
sensitive element of a photo-elec-
trio cell, a recent development Of
the General Electric Company,
which transforms the light waves
into electrical impulses or waves,
which can be transmitted by radio
much the same as a regular dash
and dot message.
Electrical Resistance Changed
This photo-electric cell is com
monty spoken OF in the laboratory
as the EYE" Of the transmitter.
The electrical resistance of this
cell changes in accordance with
the amount OF light which falls
upon it, and in this way takes care
of the shading Of the picture in
transmission.
The photo-eIectric cell functions
practically without any lost mo-
ton. When the slightest change
in the amount Of light reaches the
cell. corresponding change in the
output current Of the cell takes
place. The EYE sees and re-
cords electrically millions of differ
ent current impulses as the film
sweeps by the light beam from in
side the cylinder.
The photo-electric cell is, re-
sponsible for reproducing an in
finite number of different electric
current values which correspond
with the light or dark areas OF the
picture being transmitted.
Electric Camera Used
In order to cover all of the
original film, the glass cylinder
is rotated back and forth, exposing
the entire surface to the piercing
light beam The film rotates
through an angle equal to the
width of the picture and the cleo
trio camera itself advances down
the length OF the picture one
notch at q time. Thus line upon
line, the whole picture is covered.
z After the signal impulses or cleo
trio waves from the photo electric
cell pass through a series Of
vacuum tube anplifiers. they are
fed into modulating device
ready for transmission. The cleo

@J Of his set to certain positions,
the novice in the radio art must
learn a little bit of the, theory Of
tuning. To receive a desired sta
ton the receiver must be in Thar
mony" with the sending station.
The wave length, or vibration Pc
Rod, must be identical for both sta
tions For the most part the vibra-
ton period is governed by the ef-
fective length of the anteana. In
the sending sta ton the wave length
is always the same-having a fixed
value. But in the receiving set GER
tain variable units are used which
add to or deduct from the wave
length Of the antenna.
Change at win
The dials OF the set are attached
TO these variable units. and by NOV
ing the dials one way or the other
the period Of vibration or frequency
Of the set is changed at win.
The degree marks on the dials
show the degree of variation in the
units inside the set. They do not
necessarily represent the wave
lengths Of broadcasting stations. The
position of the dials for a certain
station depends more or less on
the antenna attached to the re-
ceiving set. With two different an
tennas, that is. of different lengths,
the positions of the dials for a GER
tain wave length viii be different.
1t is because Of this that it is inn
possible to know beforehand at what
positions the dials are to be set for
certain station. 1t all depends. on
the antennas.
No two sets are alike. The dials
on one set will have entirely diff
ferent positions for a certain broad
casting station tina nthose OF an
other set even with the same an
tenna, because the values of the
variable units are different for every
set.
At the present stage of radio with
any receiver there is only one
method of tuning. After the set
has been installed the owner must
begin to hunt for the desired sta
tons.
Log Positions
Once he has located them he
should log the positions OF the
dials for each station. After week
or two he will then be able to set
his dial at the degree numbers which
he has. found viii bring in the sta
ton he desires. But If he makes a
change in the length of his antenna
he viii find that the positions of the
dial for each station also will have
changed.
With receivers that use loop an
tenna, and thus may be carried
around TO different locations without
a change of conditions, the listener
even may mark down the different
stations. call letters opposite the de-
gree marks on which they are
brought in. But until he learns by
the pick and hunt method where
the different stations are found, the
receiver cannot be marked for the
stations. Nobody several hundred
miles away can tell him where to
set his .dials for any station. He
must find the stations himself by
searching for them.
