Their teacher had announced that day that the school was to give a play in a short time, and Blanche Was determined to be in it. "I always used to, when I went to the May achool, but I don't think I will ever again, after what happneed at the last play." "Why, what was Tell me about it!" "Honestly, Blanche, I turn & thou- sand colors every time I think of it' But I'll tell you how it happened, if you'll cross your heart and promise never to tell a single soul. Will you?" "Why, Dorothy, you KNOW 1 wouldn't ever tell anything you didn't want me to! Now I've crossed my and promised, 80 tell me what it was that happened before I pass out from curiosity." "You see, I had been In three or four little plays before this one, and when it was announced that the May school was to give a show soon | Telt sure that I would get one of the that, Dorothy? , {one purpose, I was given not only but one of the threo ones, that of the old who is to be shot by mistake e. of days arrived, and the the play to start finally I | TRAINING FOR TRACK THE JUMPER There are almost as many ways of | doing the high jump as there are high | jumpers, Every man has his own | peculiar way of jumping. But, as James E. Sullivan said, the general principle is always the same. And that principle, to quote him further, is to make every part of your body and every part of your jump from the beginning of the run to the clearance' of the bar and the alighting, serve the which is to gain the greatest possible height. First, get yourself into proper form. Do not try at the start to break records. It is better to confine your- self to clearing the bar perfectly at a height that you feel certain of making. Then, once you have ac- although we were all sure it . It was a three-act I had a leading part, stage a good deal in the first two acts, and every- went along just fine. Several of bad been in plays before, body forgot their lines. After act, even, the three lead- {sharacters, which were the moth- quired form, try for greater heights. Do not run at the bar too hard Go at It with just enough speed to carry your body acroas the bar. Your object is to jump high, not far, and & swift run will send you not high into the air, but far across the bar. Do not run so fast that you cannot easily check yourself at the take-off. I'll never forget it if "to be a thousand years old. [We came to the place where my son was to shoot me, thinking I was a . I walked to the middle of the stage, and he came in from the other wide. . mt I "You see, the revolver failed to go i Su. bs off. And ever since then I've been ~~ afraid to go on the stage at all. Do you blame me?" Here's whers I got the best of him," said the cannibal as he cut some cholce pieces from his victim. THE CONTINENTAL While the manner in which you ap- proach the bar is not of vital import- ance, it is advisable to run toward it from directly in front instead of from the side as is the custom with most beginners. At the start you may not be able to jump as high when you approach the bar from the front, but you will soon get accustomed to the approach and you will be able to go higher than if you ran up to the bar from the side. Practice high-kicking daily to loosen the muscles of your legs. Any exer- cise that will develop spring in the muscles of the calves and thi, and is not too strenuous may be indulged in. Speed is one of the things required of the sprinter, the hurdler and the high jumper. It is also essential to he broad jumper. Besides apeed, the broad jumper must have such control of.his stride that he can hit the take- off properly and then throw himgelf out into space 0 get the greatest possible distance from his Jump. Practice will enable you to Judge your stride. Measure off the distance from } | where you begin your run to the take-off, and then in spare moments As you leave the take-off, shoof high into the air. Draw your legs close under you. As you are about to strike the ground, shoot them forward. Throw yourself forward as yeu land in the pit. Diligent practice will give you skill, provided you have that one requisite --speed.

The amount of gas which a tank Will hold depends upon fits ca- pacity. The amount of gas which Is actually pum~ed into the same 'ank depends upon the pressure exerted by the pump and also apon the tank capacity. The amount of electric charge which an slectrical condenser will store depends upon the pressure of the charging source and the ca- pacity of the condenser. As might be expected, this capacity depends upon the size and construction of the condenser. Now when an electrical con- denser is charged it is the ma- terial between the conducting plates (called the "dielectric"), which stores the electrical energy In the form of a strain produced In the material itself. The strain Is caused by the electrical charges which are placed upon the con- ducting surfaces; for example, upon the two tinfoll coatings pasted on opposite sides of a sheat of glass. Thé glass is the dielec- tric in this case. The ability of the dielectric to store energy must, then, be taken into comsid- eration in determining the ca- 'pacity of the condenser. The thickness of this dielectric is an- other consideration. The capacity of any condenser depends solely upon the following four things: (a) The area of the metal coat- ing, which is opposite (or dpposed to) another metal coating. (b) The ability of the dielec- tric to store energy. (¢) The thickness of the di- electric. The capacity varies directly as does the area of metal coating and the ability of the dielectric (the "dielectric constant") and indi- rectly as does the thickness of di- electric. A condenser with a thin dielectric, or small spacing be- tween its plates, has a larger ca- pacity than one baving a thicker dielectric, everything else, of course, being the same in both cases. - A condenser has electrical ca- pacity in concentrated form. It is a "lumped" capacity. A single wire may have some electrical ca- pacity with respect to the earth or to another wire. In this case the capacity is said to be "dis- tributed." 11 NEW APPARATUS * DEVICES Br RALPH BROWN, : RADIO ENGINEER, CUTTING AND WASHINGTON RADIO CORF A NEW VERNIER RHEOSTAT. KX vernier rheostat is an especially desired device for use in secur- ing a critical grid biasing voltage in a radio frequency amplifier cir- cuit. Itis also of value in securing a radio variation of current in any circuit. When soft detecter tubes are used the experimenter often finds a very close adjustment of filament current necessary. Ordinarily the customary rheostat is satisfactory, but when a critical current ad- justment is required a vernier is desirable. Observation of the cut will reveal two contactors, one sliding over a cofled resistance in the usual manner and the other sliding over a single turn of resistance wire around the insulating base. A clutch arrangement allows either of the contactors to be ro- tated at will by means of only one knob. The knob is pushed ia to engage the clutch for rough adjustments and pulled out for fine adjust- ments. With the knob pushed in (clutch engaged) the vernfer con- tactor does not side over the single turn, but is moved back and away trom it. Rotating the knob then only causes the main contactor to slide over the coiled resistance. When the knob 1x pulled out (clutch released) the former contactor is left in its last position and the ver- nier contactor is brought into contact with the single turn of resist. ance wire. Rotating the knob will now only rotate the vernier contactor to secure the fine adjustment necessary, The clutch arrangement is very ingenious andl rugged. It is easily operated, positive in action and does not make the rheostat any larger than the ordinary types. There will probably be many cases where it can be used to very good advantage.
