give the general understanding that
the study Of greater number Of sub
jects will do, for all are related. Some
chemistry, astronomy, further study
Of the construction OF matter and
relatively helps to give one better
viewpoint. A thing one finds In the
study Of any science is that It comes
up to its question marks whose only
answer is God; so. q study Of the
Bible will furnish the final keystone
which makes of the whole thing
beautiful creation.
Just few words about radio might
be Of interest to some. First demon
strated in theory by Maxwell In 1855
and later created In fact by Hertz
In 1883. man began the conquest Of
the field of transmission Of energy
through space by the use Of the
electro magnetic wave. Edison dis
covered that an incandescent fila
ment throws off electrons towards .
plate which may be incorporated in
the same tube which will allow .
one-way current to pass from the
plate to the filament. Then 1t was
discovered charge or grating
placed between these two would reg
ulate the flow Of electrons and so the
current from plate to filament. SO q
radio tube In receiving set has these
three parts, q filament lighted by the
storage battery, lin q battery set) q
plate to which the positive pole Of the
B batteries are connected and which
finally actuates the loud speaker and
the grid which gets its small electric
magnetic charges from waves sent out
by the sending station via aerial, and
ground with condensers to give capa-
city and coils Of wire to give induc-
lance the two necessities which con-
stitute in some way quality to. the
disturbance Of matter etheric, radio
wave. These waves travel 10000
miles per second 50 the number sent
out In one second divided into 1856 1000
miles gives the length Of the wave
or the distance between the crests Of
two waves. did not think Of ask
ing the secretary Of agriculture to
stop broadcasting without first ascer-
tanning, through scientific expert
ment, whether the electro magnetic
waves Of radio would have an effect
on the static charges on the surfaces
Of the particles Of water vapor on the
atoms, with their nucleus Of pro-
tons and planetary electrons) OF hy-
drogen and oxygen which compose
molecules Of water.
Mr.. w. r. Gregg, now head Of the
weather bureau, answered my letter
and stated that radio waves had no
effect on the weather. However, II
he had said no known effect or ap-
prectable effect 1t might have come
still closer to the truth for we know
that, Il 1t Is stormy over Chicago,
we will not hear those stations that
night, etc. So II the storm browns
out the radio the radio might exert
It's power against the storm or 1t
might be simply case Of . short CIR
cult. then too the light has It's effect
on the radio waves so the radio waves
no doubt exert q counter action on
the light. In q laboratory test 1t
might be possible to defect or break
up light waves 50 as to make It dark
over small area.
Wttchcraft was mentioned. It Is
funny but some people don't seem to
know the bounds Of witchcraft and
superstition, and get them mixed up
with the reality Of . God and His
workings with US. His creation and
spiritual offspring.
This may give an excuse to speak
against something, and that i people
paying out their good money to
fortune tellers for questions and an
swers, etc. Some paper recently stat
