him. He was sissy"
The cloak room doot was right by
Ted's seat. Quick as fash he dashed
IN there to hide. He grabbed q hook
and hung on, draping couple Of the
girls coats over him. Pretty soon he
heard Miss Brown and Mr.. Grady
looking for him, and he smiled to
think how he had fooled them. Then,
after a while, he heard the train pull
out, and he groaned to think how he
was going to miss the game. After
that Mr.. Grady went away. Ted de-
cided it was safe to come out
why, Ted" Miss Brown said.
Where were you? Mr.. Grady was
looking for you. He wanted some one
to go along with the team to write up

Ether Is Bearer
OF Radio Waves

THE world we live in can be di-
= vided roughly into three familiar
kinds Of material-atmosphere, water
and earth.
But soaking into all of these is
ether, which Is thinner than air and
which is quite indescribable, except
ing for the fact that it is everywhere
between the tiniest parts of every
drop Of water, and inside the very
grains of dust of the earth, and in
our bodies, and even in glass jars
from which all the air has been
pumped.
Light comes to us in tiny waves
in the ether, as sound comes to us
more slowly, in little invisible waves
in the air.
OF late years scientists have dis
covered that still other very, very
swift waves are constantly in motion
everywhere in the ether. They flow
in every direction, like the ripples
around a pebble which has been
tossed into the water.
What the radio broadcasting sta
tions do is to toss the pebbles. so to
speak, into the ether, and start waves
which move in every direction and
are picked up" by aerials indoors or
out, all over the country.
The apparatus which starts the
waves must send them very swiftly,
for radio waves vibrate many times
faster per second than light waves
do. In the broadcasting station is
a machine which stirS up constant
run of swift electrical waves in the
ether from a tall aerial-as many
as $4,000 to 100000 every second.
Then when some violiniSt's music
is to be sent out on the ether through
brick walls and over mountains, an
other little electrical apparatus, called
microphone-very much like the
mouthpiece of a telephones used.
It is connected with the broadcast
ing aerial and 1t puts special little
tremors in the swift radio waves,
constantly sent from the aerial.
changing them slightly, just as a
human voice on the telephone changes
the electric current which was there
before.
Since the waves, with their violin
tremors, can travel eight times around
the earth in a single second, they
reach our aerials within the very
instant they are sent off-even though
they are started few thousand miles
away.
Our own aerials are connected with
our radios. We must set the dials
so that our radios can catch vibra-
tions Of the particular speed sent
out by the broadcasting station We
want to hear. The tubes in the radio
pick the sound impressions from the
radio waves so that our loudspeak-
ers, which are also wired with an
electric current, catch the vibrations
and change them into sound waves
in the air of the room, exactly as the
telephone receiver changes the elec-
trio current into vibrations our ears
can hear. And lo-the violin is as
clear as though it were fiddled in our
own home.

Use of "WmdfaH'
For Lucky Event
IN THE year 1866, William. Duke OF

II
Normandy, led his forces into Eng
land. His cousin, Edward the Con-
fessor, King of England, had died, and
the opportunity of adding to his do
minion could not be overlooked by
the ambitious young William.
In the battle of Hastings, Harold,
the other contestant for the throne,
was killed. Thus William became
ruler of England. He set about re-
making the laws of the land and sue
ceeded in putting into effect many ex-
cellent ideas.
From this time dates our express
sion of "windfall' in reference to a
piece of good luck. Under the laws
of William. it was a criminal offense to
cut down timber in the forests. The
poor people, therefore, were allowed
to pick up for their fires only the
branches which had been brought
down by the wind. A windstorm,
bringing a "windfall," was always
welcomed by the peasants as good
luck. and in this sense we use the
phrase.
