Construction of loud-speaker is
held by many amateurs TO be beyond
their ability. And for many types OF
speaker this is true.
The making of the type shown and
described in this article, however, will
not present any difficulty. and only the
simplest of tools and materials will be
found necessary.
A rectangular piece Of cardboard II
inch thick is obtained and marked out
as shown in Fig. 1. The cardboard is
then cut along the thick lines, and the
lines A and B folded together as
shown in Fig. 2 A 1-inch strip of
cardboard Is glued over the joint, care
being taken to bring the two edges
close together, until the glue is dry.
The horn should be bound together
with string to hold 1t in shape. Final
~ IL should be given at least one coat
of black enamel, inside and out. A
turned metal fitting Of suitable shape,
and procurable at any hardware or
monograph shop, can be slipped in po-
sition over the lower end of the horn
and glued as shown.
Building the Base.
For the base a circular box, about 4
inches in diameter by 2Z inches high,
is necessary, but failing this. two
wooden disks about inches In diam
eter and II inch thick will do, when
Joined by piece Of cardboard 1874
inches by 2% inches and made into a
cylinder with an inside diameter equal
to that of the disks. The overlapping
edges should be glued This is also
given a coat Of enamel.
In the center of one of the wooden
disks bore hole Of diameter very
slightly less than the inside diameter
of the metal fitting attached to the
horn. Both disks are then to be given
two coats Of shellac varnish. When
this has dried place a short piece of
tightly-ftting metal tubing in the hole
in the disk, so as to protrude about
y inch on one side. A wooden ring,
such as the rim Of circular box lid,
or even a wooden curtain-pole ring
filed down to about " inch in depth,
is glued TO the other side Of the disk.
To this Is affixed a thin iron die
phragm, which must be perfectly fiat.
/. Two brass terminals are then screwed
through near TO the edge of the disk.
All these details are shown In Fig. 3.

lied steel II inch in diameter by
about 1 inch long, and slip two fiber
spool ends over Its extremities to
form spool. Ii this is unobtainable,
a piece of steel of the given dimen-
sions can be magnetized by winding
round 1t single layer Of wire and
passing q current through the wind
ing. In winding this coil, care should
be taken to notice which Is to be the
n pole of the magnet. This can be
ascertained by looking along the axis
Of the steel bar and noting whether
the winding Is In q clock-wise or anti
clock-wise direction; II the latter Is the
case, the pole nearest the observer
will be the south pole. This pole
should be marked.

winder and the wire wound In an anti
clock-wise direction. A resistance of
1000 ohms can be obtained by using
about 1 h. of No. SO S.W.G., 1000

and so on.
The first disk (the one to which the
diaphragm has been aff1xed) is now
smeared with glue round its circum-
ference. and slipped into one end Of
the cardboard cylinder. The ends Of
the coil are next connected to the UNI
der side Of the terminals on the disk.
The spool itself should then be glued
TO the second disk. This Is shown In
Fig. 4.
This second disk Is now smeared
with glue In the same manner and
slipped into the lower end of the CYL
inder; but before this glue has dried
the horn must be dropped over the
metal tube provided. and the instru-
ment placed In circuit with weak
battery. The position of the lower
disk Is now adjusted by pressing up
ward until the magnihcation of the
sound produced by making and
breaking the circuit Is at its best.
Care must be taken not to press the
disk too far, as the core may then
come into contact with the diaphragm.

is CONSUMPTION He
REDITARY?

EOR many years 1t was generally
\ believed that consumption was In
herited. This view was, in many
cases, held by doctors as well as lay
men. There were so many instances
In which the children Of tuberculous
parents developed consumption that 1t
seemed reasonable to assume that the
disease was handed down from parent
to child.
So it was, but 1t was by close and
constant association, by living in In
fected houses, by eating and sleeping
and living with infected persons that
the disease was transmitted and not
by Inheritance More. careful study
proved thai tuberculosis could not be
inherited and that an adopted child
or an inmate Of the same household,
In no wa related to consumptive,
was just as apt to develop the disease
as a child Of the patient.
Then the believers in heredity fell
back on their second position. They
said that the disease itself was not
inherited but that the child of con-
sumptive parents inherited ''tenden-
cy" to the disease, that they had
weaker lungs and consequently were
more apt to develop the disease In
later life.
But facts are stubborn things and
are better than theories. Doctor Drolet
has just reported the results Of care
full study Of 1900 tubercular patients
at Bellevue hospital In New York. In
1895 children, he finds more tuber-
culosis among children of healthy par
ents than among those of tubereular
parents. Among $500 patients admit
ted for other diseases but without
tuberculosis, one-third had tubercular
parents but had not tuberculosis them
selves, while of $500 patients who
had tuberculosis, only one-seventh had
tubercula- parents. In other words,
the children of tubercular parents had
less than half as much tuberculosis
as the children of healthy parents.
II was also found that the children
of tubercular parents who did have
tuberculosis had twice as good
chance of getting well as the children
of healthy parents.
Doctor Drolet concludes that the
children of tubercular parents do not
inherit the disease. They do not even
inherit tendency to it. Instead. they
inherit a freater amount of resistance
to 1t and a greater immunity to II
than do the children Of healthy par
ents.

SCOT or the creaking of furniture. If
the ants In the garden build their walls
frequently or the house sparrow keeps
to the ridge country residents prepare
for rain, though If birds frequent the
caves they will confidently prophesy
fine weather.
Storms from the northwest or south
west are usually brief, but storm
from the northeast Is likely to be long
and severe. A veering wind brings
fine weather, backing wind means
rain. These are the countryman's
barometer. Their significance Is
based upon the observation and ex-
perience of centuries. and the fore
cast made from them Is quite as re-

logical observatories.

Lightning Not Zigzaa

Down to the middle of the Nine.
teenth century people did not even
know what lightning looks like. For
ages artists had been drawing and
painting it in zigzag streaks, with
sharp angles In 1856 James Nasmyth,
the famous Scottish engineer, ex-
pressed doubts about the existence of
such lightning, says Nature Magazine
Shortly afterward lightning began to
be photographed. and 1t was thus
found never to be angular, but always
more or less sinuous, like a river with
numerous branches.
