AREA ET THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG. - | THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1923, 8C400L STUDY SPORTS TH [THE SHORT STORY, JR. | The Butterfly Princess LL THE GIRLS in the village of Rien were fut] R tering with ex-| citement. It was| none other than| I} the day of the Bjsummer carnival, when ail Rien turned out for the games and pageants. On this day, also, the Mayor of Rien would < choose the sum- mer princess. The princess would be the young girl who was most charm- iogly dressed and looked best in the beautiful summer pageant. Fleurette leaned out of the window of their cottage and watched the gay procession as it started to move by. She tried hard not to envy the girls in their silk dresses, with the gleaming .wreaths and jewels in their hair. She awallowed hard and rubbed her eyes. "Don't ery, Fleuretts," said her lit- «le brother, coming up and smiling at her roguishly. "See the pretty chain I've made for you? 'You're the fimest little brother ohere ever waa," laughed Fleurette, "and I wouldn't change you for a arriage with five footmen in livery Jo there!" They went out by the vadside to see better 'You look so nice," he admired. #Now if you just had something to sut in your hair Hke the fine ladies!" "I don't think. Td like to be a fine ,"" sald Fleurette. "It must be stupid to ride always in a coach. I'd rather play in the meadow with the Bowers and the birds and butterflies And bees. They are my friends." "G-0o-h, look!" gasped the little srother. As if they had heard her speaking, two big golden-winged but- ferflies came wheeling above them. Wleurette stood very still, so as not to icars them, and she almost stopped breathing when they settled on top of her curls, their wings swaying gently. So surprised were the two, that they did not notice the procession was stopping, and ft all seemed like a dream when a white-bearded man stepped out of a carriage, came to the roadsidé and took Fleurette by the hand and sald, "This shall be the mummer princess.

Anyway, we're planning to go again soon. 'We did so much 1 couldn't put half of it down lke I ought to, so I'm only putting down some of the things we 80 we can sort of keep them for help next time we do some- thing ltke that--even next year, First thing we did when we got out to the Point was to build a fire. Joe sald he'd chop down the wood for ft, as he had a dandy mew axe, and Squee had a kind of hatchet, so he said he'd go along. But John (that's Ollle"s big broth- er's name) shook his head. "You're Just like mest campers," he said. "You think you have to chop down branches and everything to make a regular fire. Well, you don't. I al- ways swear by squaw-wood."' The Squaw-Wood "What's squaw-wood?' we said at once, like a chorus in a show. "That's bits of dry wood. Campers call it that because that's what the Indian squaws use to build fire. They don't use any axes. They pick up all their firewood. Some of the smart make fun of that way of building a fire, but they can't get ahead of the squaws when it comes to making a reguiar fire, ""Rotten, crumbly bits of pine wood are fine, and also pine knots, because they have Jota of resin. Birch bark is good filler for ths fire, too. Get a pile of these first to start your fire. 1 HUMOR | PLAY | WORK Then you can gather the larger branches and diftwood to keep the fire going "This will make a nice fire for cook- Ing. Then after the cooking is done, and while we're. washing up things, the fire for the night can'be fixed The Over-Night Fire I'll have two of you bovs get me a couple of dry wind-felled logs, each one about as heavy as the two of you can carry. Then you must cross the two logs right over the center of the fire. 'Sy the time the camp is straight- ened up, you see, the fire will have made these two logs into four logs. We'll then fix the four logs across the fire in a log-cabin fashion. This will make a slow fire for us to sit around a while. *""The nice prgt about such a fire is that it will keep burning all night and give a glow over the tent. Then in the morning there will still be soma coals to start the fire for breakfast. "Axes are all right, but they're heavy to carry, and woodcutting blis- ters your hanas when you're not used to it. For most campers, the axe will be just as well off at home. "Now scatter, all of you, and bring in some squaw-wood." Well, we did, and we soon had a dandy fire, built the way he told us, in just no time. And we found out that we couid also bulld a fire this way when it rains. We'd go around and find the dead pieces of wood stil hanging on the underside of trees. 1f we'd tried to chop up the wat branches, we couldn't have had any fire at all. I guess the Indian squaws hadn't anything on us. ---AL STUBB, Scribe of the Pirate Seven ANSWER To YESTERDAYS Putzie 1S: Sm RupboLpH in his dol er has Scove.

That is, loubling the battery voltage ioubles the current. By referring to the' characteristic curve of a given vacuum tube under given conditions of plate potential and wie respect to © Filament Negetim Terminal (Dees Toro te 4 iff fHlament current, however, It will be seen that plate current does not Increase directly with grid poten- tial. At some points the increase of plate current will be compara- tively large for small increase in grid poteutial, while at others it will not be so large. Instead of be- Ing a straight line, then, this char- acteristic curve is bent and con- Mderably more so at its lower and opper ends than at its middle por- ton. In fact, it may be compara- tvely straight at its middle part. The curve is a graphical represen- tation of the variation of plate cur- rent, with grid potential changes. _-- VACUUM TUBE CIRCUIT. If the grid is connected directly to the negative end of the filament through the coil there will be ne current in the grid circuit. There will be a plate current of a certair value, however, since the plate is positively charged by the plate bat. tery. If an incoming wireless sig- nal causes an induced voltage in the grid circuit this voltage will be alternately positive and negative The grid will then likewise be al ternately charged positively and negatively. When it is positive electrons will go tv the grid and a grid Current flows which increases in strength with the positive charge. It is important to note, however, that when the grid cur- rent flows electrons are going to the grid, and, being negative charges, are canceling the positive potential applied to the grid. The actual potential of the grid does not, therefore, rise to as high a value as that of the potential ap- plied. In fact, when the tube is operated in this manner the posi- tive applied potential does not cause much increase in plate cur- rent because the actual positive grid potential does not increase much, if any. When the grid is charged negatively during the next half cycle of alternating applied voltage no electrons can reach the grid and the actual negative po- tential of the grid increases with the applied voltage. The plate cur- rent then decreases more than it increased in the previous case. During successive alternations of applied potentials the same thing occurs over and over, so that it the applied voltage is eventually damped out, the plate current eventually returns to its normal value beca ise the grid potential has returned to zero. It is to be noted that when the grid is posi- tive and a,grid current flows the alternating current ih the coil and condenser circuit ia more rapidly damped and the tuning quality of that circuit is impaired, * Alana ls Ne aa t-- APPARATUS By RALPH BROWN, RADIO ENGINEER A NEW LIGHTNING PROTECTOR. A lightning arrester is a neces- sity with every radio receiving set and is required by the Fire Under- writers. The one illustrated is somewhat a departure from the or- dinary and functions regularly, without any attention or deteriora. tion. It is also very substantial in construction. The arrester itself is clamped between two @eopver 'sunparta iw 0 % means of binding posts and mounted upon a porcelain base, which has holes for screws At one end both a binding post and a Fahnestock connecter are pro- vided, while at the other end a binding post and a lug are pro- vided for connections to the cir- cuits. A small carborundum whee! is enclosed between two copper cups which have toothed edges. The two toothed edges are thus opposite each other and separated by the | carborundum. He.vy discharges, such as lightning, cause sparks be- tween the toothed copper edges, and the discharges are also con- ducted to ground through the carborundum. Lighter discharges, caused by static electricity upon the antenna, are conducted through the carborundum to ground. The wheel is not solid carborundum, but is a mixture of pulverize! car- borundum and clay. The carbo- rundum particles arrange them-. selves, 80 that the resistance of the wheel is very high to small signal currents, but allow comparatively heavy currents to pass from par- ticle to particle and thence to ground. This type of arrester is very sen- sitive to lightning induction and does its work very well. It is found, however, that when it ig™~ used close by a transmitting sta- tion there is possibility of some conduction to ground of the sig- nal current. In most cases this would not be disadvantageous, since the signals would be loud enough for all practical purposes. * One advantage claimed In this con- nection is the grounding of sratic and a diminishing of its effect upon a receiving set. If this ad- vantage Is really practical it wight well be of considerable benefit in reducing the disturbing noises due to static in the summer tima : A Herald-Snn Feature.
