ATLANTA, Aug. 14.-The pro-

1t unwise to allow the commission
the right to sell.
Senator p. T. Knight who led the
fight to eliminate this word from
the resolution, called to mind flat

Che state in the past for the prop

Only $4,000 Antelope
Now Survive In N. A.

Difficult as, such an undertaking
may seem, a careful census has
been taken of the pronghorned an
telope in North America, and the
areas now occupied by these big
game animals approximately deter
mined. The pronghorn is the only
species of antelope native of Amer
lea. Through the occupation of its
territory by man it has been eX-
tirpated from many of it's former
haunts but has survived in scat
tered small herds over a very large
proportion of it's original range in
16 of the western states of this
country and in Canada and Mexi-
co. In 1922 it became evident that
the time had arrived for taking
active measures leading to the
conservation of the dwindling num-
bers of the antelope if its eXter-
mination were to be averted, and
accordingly a census was conduct
ed during the following two years
by field men of the biological sur
vey of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, with the CO.
operation of conservation societies,
state agencies, and individuals not
only in this country but also in
Canada and Mexico. The results
of this census constitute the larger
part of a report just published by
the department on the Statue OF
the Pronghorned Antelope, 1922
1924" by DR.. Edward w. Nelson,
coief of the bureau of biological
survey, as department bulletin No.
1346
According to the results reported
by DR.. Nelson there are now ap-
proximately 10000 pronghorn ex-
listing in North America in a total
of 2S6 scattered bands. These num-
bers seem sadly meager in COM
parison with the millions once in
habiting this continent. 1t has
been estimated that the buffalo
herds of this country at one time
numbered $4,000, 900 animals, and in
view of the greater territory oc-
cupied by the pronghorn, it may
be considered a conservative esti-
mate to place it's probable original
numbers at not less than thirty to
forty millions, and probably more.
A factor favorably influencing the
conservation of the pronghorn is
the attitude of such leading con-
servation organizations as the
Boone and Crockett club, the Per-
manent Wild Life Protective fund,
the American Bison society, and
the California associated societies,
for the conservation of wild life,
all of which are interested in the
future of the antelope. This fac
tor together with the establishment
of refugees and the execution OF
restocking experiments will play an
important part in the conservation
of the antelope.

faint energy and conducts it down
to the lead-in wire to one end OF
the inductance device, the tuner.
The energy is picked up from what
ever turn of the inductance coil
you tap and is then led to the cry
stal detector and through it to the
ground.
"You know that the tuner is used
to bring the aerial-ground circuit
into tune with the radio waves you
want to catch, but perhaps you for
get that the frequencies of these
waves are so high that you could
not begin to hear them with the
ear-phones. The radio waves may
be alternating or oscillating sever
al hundred times per second.
Something has to be done to change
these into frequencies that are
within hearing range.
Here's where the crystal detec-
tor figures. The phones are con-
nected in series with the detector.
By this I mean that one of the
phone wires is attached to the post
of the detector where the higher
frequency is entering while the 9TH
er is attached to the post of the
detector that leads to the ground
connection. The phones, therefore,
register the audible sounds that the
detector makes possible.

Just then Smith junior came run
ming back with the small article
known as a fixed condenser. Smith
and I stopped a moment to watch
him connect it in series with the
phones. That is, he connected it
across the circuit of the phones
just as though he were cutting the
phones out altogether.
"Now what's that for?" Smith
asked.
The boy shook his head and
mumbled something about the
Jones lad getting better results
that way.

quency to pass through the circuit.
Otherwise it would all have to pass
through the circuit of the phones
and would be seriously hindered by
reason of the high resistance they
offer. These condensers are a
whole story in themselves, and you
will probably find a number OF
them in your big set"
"Do you hear that?" Smith ad-
dressed junior. "If we're going to
get anywhere with our radio we've
got to know why we get results,
and not just guess at things"
At last they were working as
partners. Smith radio stock was
ready for a boom.

A request from Smith to come
over to talk radio with him the
evening following our lunch-table
discussion about the tuner showed
that he had gained little lead on
the young son whose superior rad
10 knowledge had become such a
source of annoyance to father.
When l reached the Smith house
hold the big machine was set for
the strains of an opera, but down
on the floor Smith and Smith junior
were busy with few wires and
knick-knacks which they insisted
would soon be a receiver set.

ing his discoveries, 81 get puzzled

and one there, and very often COM

them"
"Fine!" I said. you've got the
right idea About the best way to
discover how your big set works
is TO start building a small one.
Pretty soon the two meet and you
are ready to talk super-heterodynes
as fluently as foreign exchange"
Smith laughed. You're an op-
timist," he accused me. I'D think
the world was mine if I even had
slight idea as to how the simplest
set works"
He said this while Smith junior
ran over to a friends house to bor-
row a fixed condenser, so Smith
could talk freely.
For the simplest set, and one
that probably wouldn't work ex-
cept under the most favorable con-
ditions, you need but an aerial, a
ground connection, an inductance
of some kind, a crystal detector
and a pair of ear-phones. Crystal
detectors are of several varieties,
some being cheap and very pesky,
while others that are scaled higher
in price are quite satisfactory. The
wise radioist just goes to the ac-

they have. The inductance, as l
told you before, can be merely a
coil of wires that you can tap at
any turn you desire. The telephones
are story in themselves, but for
your purpose just picture them as
delicate electro-magnets operating
upon a thin diaphragm which, in
vibrating, gives the same sound
values that are being registered on
the microphone at the broadcasting
station.
"The next thing is to connect
these simple units so that they will
form a circuit, for you know that
all electrical instruments operate
only when the circuits are com
plete and correct.
