Transmission, which they admit is
probably more effective in darkness.
They are not even convinced that,
with the increased range of the shorter
wave station in darkness, its extreme
range Is much greater than that of
longer wave transmitterS. In Aus
tralia, they point out, it is important
that the broadcaSting stations carry
to the whole state at all hours, day
and night, and they consider our
short-wave achievements more or less
treaky.
Although the radio trade is urging
Standardization of broadcast chan
nels now reaching from 2S5 to 1850
meters, SO they can produce standard
receiving sets covering a smaller
band. the broadcasters do not favor q
reduction IN wave lengths; at least,
two stations Of 5000 watts-2FC, at
Sydney, owned by Farmer & Co., and
6WF, owned by the Westeralian
Farmers. Ltd, at Perth-declare they
see no reason to seriously consider the
lowering OF their wave lengths, which
are 1,100 and 1880 meters. respec-
lively.
Following q long investigation as to
the value of the ordinary broadcast
wave band such as is used in the
United States and the longer waves
used in Australia by two stations, the
engineers do not believe a. change to
shorter waves would be Of advantage
to the listeners.
The long.wave stations at Perth
and Sydney, they claim. practically
cover the whole Of Australia in day
light, which is of particular impor-
tance commercially, in that it insures
continuous service for the listeners,
which fading on the shorter wave
channels would not guarantee except
for short distances.

mon form. Where he was experienc.
ing most Of the difticulty. apparently,
was in the change of one form OF
electric energy to another. The
broadcaster explained this in broad
terms with the idea Of helping Smith
get a better idea Of what goes on in
the receiving set.
"An electric current travelling In a
wire can produce the other forms Of
electric energy" he went on. "It
Is also true that any OF the other
forms can produce the electric cur
rent in the wire. We take advantage
Of this when we rotate coils Of wire
within a magnet, for under such cir
cumstances we generate a flow of
current.
I'm speaking Of electric current
passing throuAh a wire we have con-
sidered only Nirect current. The
alternating kind requires more COM
plicated apparatus, but It's funda-
mentals are not so confusing as you
imagine. The current in the wire
runs to its highest value in one direc-
ton, returns to zero, runs to it's
maximum IN the other direction. re-
turns to zero, again and then starts
the cycle all over. We speak Of these
alterations in radio as freQuencies.
For use in sending such current
through the air, or ether, it must be
of extremely high alienation and
because it Is the special arrangement
for radio work we call it radio fire.
quency. This Is also to distinguish 1t
which fhA
rate Of alienation Of electric current
which can be changed by an carphone
into audible vibrations.
Features Of Radio Work.
when q current passes through
a wire the latter offers resistance ac-
cording to it's size and the material
Of which 1t is made. In addition, the
very passage of this current induces
a magnetic electric effect around the
wire. The magnetism Is concentrated
when the wire IS coiled. In the
primary coil OF your radio set, the In
duced magnetism Is permitted to sur
round and act upon the coil Of the
secondary. The RADIO frequencles, or
alternations, set up alterations OF
magnetic energy which, in turn, set
I'D freQuencies at the same rate IN
the current induced in the secondary.
It seems to be all very complicated
in the receiving set. yet IL you know
the basic laws of electricity you can
picture the whole set at work.
Another important feature in radio
work is capacity. which Is merely the
term given to the ability of circuit
or a device to store electricity. Vart-
able and fixed condensers take care
of this while the coils take care Of
the induction through the temporary
conversion Of electric current into
magnetism. Coils can be made to
produce bucking or self-induction
and to increase their resistance ac-
cordingiy. Coils and condensers re-
spond just the reverse Of each other
when the radio frequencies are in
creased. When you fuss with the
diaIs and tune in you make allow
ances for all these factors, however
unconscious you may be of what
you're doing"

meters and the rest of the parapher-
MALTA. 1t awed him. He was afraid
Of getting shocked, yet all the while
he was getting shocked into a new
frame of mind.
"I've always figured the action OF
the receiving set as sort of work OF
magic,' he admitted to the broadcas-
ter. "I suppose it's because the values
of electricity dealt with are so minute
and because the functions of the
current at the receiving end are so
detailed"
That's half the answer" the other
agreed. "But your main difficulty is
your unfaniliarity with the first
principles Of electricity. In the opera
ton OF your set there is little genuinely
new in the behavior of the electric
currents. The novelty in radio re-
ception comes in the new application
of electrical principles"
Smith mentioned that he was
familiar with the various forms Of
electricity. He defined static cleo
tricity, for one. This he correctly
explained as el6CLTlclLy at rest, uI'
though subject to discharges which
convert 1t instantaneously into cleo
tricity in motion. Under such circum-
stances it can be guided as Franklin
demonstrated with the lightning rod.

Smith also understood that electricity
could be in the form Of space energy,
either stationary or in motion, for he
recognized the necessity of such a
condition If wireless communication
were to be possible. He was familiar,
in addition, with magnetism, which
the broadcaster defined as concentrat-
ed space energy. OF course, Smith
