The player who first fails to repeat all that was said just as it was stated, is the loser. Nobody likes to be the loser. The Right Thing Boys who "know how" never forget to tip their hats on passing a lady, an older man, or a clergyman they have met. It's also a good thing ta remember that when a boy takes off his hat to shake hands he should re- move it with the left hand, so his right hand will be free. Otherwise he is likely to seem awkward.

The word "oscillations" is used When very high frequency alter- Rating current is thought of in fadio work. Undamped oscilla- Lions are then oscillations which have no damping, but whose am- plitudes are continuous so long as the current flows. In the case of 8 swinging pendulum, the swings can be kept of continuous ampli- tude--that is, always of the same amplitude so long as the taps ap- plicd are all of the same force and are applied once for cach swing in each direction. Likewise, the undamped electrical oscillations must be the result of regularly applied electrical force. Other- Wise, some of the energy in the eircuit will be lost in overcoming resistance each alternation, and hone will be provided to re- place it Continuous oscillations are ab- solutely necessary in radiote- lephony for satisfactory transmis- sion. They may also, of course, be used for radiotelegraphy. When these undamped oscillations flow In a suitable circuit, such as an antenna, they create waves in the invisible medium known as "ether." And since the oscilla- tions are undamped, the ether vi- brations or oscillations are also undamped. The ether vibrations are really waves quite similar to those which can be seen in water, except that they travel faster and have different lengths. Now, it will be remembered, es- pecially by those who have trave eled on ships, that the height (or ampiitude) of the water waves has a great deal to do with the motion of a boat. The highcr the waves the more violently the boat rolls. Also, it the height of each wave Is always the same the boat may "rock" with increasing vio lence in a regular manner until it is rolling 'many degrees each side of its normal position. But it the waves diminish in height after the first has passed, the boat finally comes to a steady position, at least for a few moments. 'The water wavos are caused by gome force or forces applied to the water in a manner similar to ra- dlo waves in the ether. The boat may be likened to the radio re- ceiver. In which case would there then be maximum disturb- ance in the receiver at a long dis- tance, with damped or with un- damped waves? With undamped waves, of course, since less of their energy would be lost in passing from one place to a dis- tant place. Undamped radio waves suffer less absorption and travel greater distances than damped waves, with less loss of energy. The energy of each wave is the same as that of every other, There are a number of fixed grid leak resistances available to the radio constructor. They take all shapes and are of practically all sizes, The one illustrated ap- pears to have some. very good features and is at any rate novel in construction. The resistance unit itself is a film of pure platinum or an alley of platinum and gold chemically deposited upon a strip of clear mica. The length, width and thickness of the film determine the resistance, which is constant for a fixed resistance unit. The units are assembled for panel mounting or for rough handling, as in an expetimental laboratory. If for panel mounting. where it with the editor by mail? MUSIC IN THE HOME. | A Grcnd Plano Was Robbed of Its Legs A crowd had gathered to watch a grand piano, robbed of its legs, sway- ing precariously from a rope high wp against the top window of a tall brick house. To the people craning their necks to look at it it seemed like an overgrown spider dangling from the first thread of its web, Judging from the expressions. of their faces, says the New York Sun, they evidemtly thought it a comical notion to attempt to take anything so delicate and incongruous into one of the tiny openings in that brick wall, Through a second window the white heads of a little old woman and little old man, who Were evidently watching the manoeuvres with per- turbation, could be dimly seen. The laughing crowd in the street never guessed that when that giant spider should finally be placed right side up on its legs and opened and dusted and tuned, and that when the little old woman should have sat down in front of it and passed her slender vld fingers over the key- board, it would prove to be a magic box out of which all her past would come stepping in bright and happy colors, f They never guessed that when the little old man should sit nodding in that magic box its music would suddenly transport him to the hospitable old house hidden away in a hillside crchard in Vermont, to which he had gone from college for his first Thanksgiving vacation, and to which the years of his youth; ner that as the soft tones should float out of that high- Ww and mingle with the noises of the "busy city night they would recreate for him the frosty moonlight evenings when he had tramped rustling winter woods, or had sat in of the crackling : never ghessed that rainbow colors on her white dream mountains, and of long days passed in the saddle under her blazing blue her windswept lonely in % £ 3 i ] | : Br RALPH BROWN RADIO ENGINEER, CUTTING AND WASHINGTON RADIO CORR A NOVEL GRID LEAK RESISTANCE.

It the crowd prefer to hear the cheap music, if they continue to turn a 'deaf ear to the masterpieces of true beauty, then Canada can not expeot to rise above that level. A nation is logically merely the com- posite of its people. If the balance leans toward the degrading, the nation tends that way; if the trend is for enrichment, that is the direction of the country's policies, What applies to the home life applies to the city and the state. A family which is slovenly and morose is given to very different mental processes from the famil that is neat and happy, : 80 the man who does not love beautiful music ie fit for "treasons, stratagems and spoils."

Mw derer Planned His Act in Four- teen Stages, London, April, 28.--A _ curious psychical problem is presented by Ernest Walker, seventeen years old, a footman, who has confessed to the murder of Charles Davia, a messen- ger boy. The murder was carried out according to fourteen points had drawn up for himself. He telephoned for a messenger, and then followed his plan, which was, in part: 2, wait at the front door; 3, invite him in; 4, bring him downstairs; 6, ask him to sit down; 6, hit him hard on the head and then tie him wp; 7, put him in the safe; 8, keep him tied up; 9, at 10.30 o'clock torture; 11, prepare for the end.
