Every one knows fandseer's famous picture, "A Dis- tinguished Member of the Royal Humane Society". The noble looking dog pictured is a Newfoundland The feet of the Newfoundland are webbed much like those of e duck, i= a whole The which makes him especially fitted to plunge in the water and go swim- ming off at the call of a drowning person. An Intelligent Dog The Newfoundland is also noted for his persistence. When he is told to do a thing he does it. A man in Suffolk, England, had a fine New- foundiand that was very Intelligent One day the dog's master and a friend were riding in the country, with the dog following them The inaster bet his friend that he could put a shilling under a stone, ride on for three miles, and then if he told the dog to go after it, he would im- i mediately bring it. . % S80 he got off his horse, found a large stone by the roadside, and put & shilling under it, calling to his dog to watch. They drove on three miles and then he told the dog to go after the shilling.

He walted until a man came along, then howled to get his attention. The man moved the stone and put the coin in his pocket and rode on. The dog followed him to his house, and waited until he went to his room. The door was open, so he stols in and seized the man's trousers from the chair as soon as he was asleep. ~The Newfoundland looks like a very fierce dog, because of his size, but he is really affectionate, nice-tempered, and docile, as well as very sensitive. He is a teachable dog and readily follows instructions. He can be taught all sorts of tricks. Many Newfound- land owners send their dogs for mail. The criginal home of the Newfound- land was Dngiand. He was later developed especially on the island of Newfoundland as a guard and water dog. His master Appearance of the Dog This dog impresses any one at once with great strength and activity. He is big boned. and deep chested. He stands about 27 inches high and weighs usually 100 pounds. He moves with a sort of swing, giving him a slightly rolling gait. H's head Is broad and massive, and is flat on the skull. His muzzle is short, clean-cut and rather square in mhape and is covered with short, fine hair. His ears. which are without fringe, are small. His eyes are small, dark brown, and wide apart. The true Newfoundland has a jet- black coat. tings of bronze of a sprinkling of white on the chest and toes. The fur Is flat and dense, being of a coarsp texture and of an oily nature especially suited to shedding water. The Newfoundland is a coast dog.

Their garden we their means of support. They plied vegetables for the big hotel of the nearby summer resort. Thelr house sat down fn a little hollow near the river bank, away from the main road of travel. They seldom had any visitors They were surprised, therefore, one morning when they were both at work in the garden to hear some one ca g. They looked up, and a girl w. d at them gaily from the cliff above. They waved back and she start down the hill~ side. Halfway down she stumbled on a stone, lost her balance, and came never nk hurried to catch but did not reach her befora she had suffered a badly wrenched ankle, They carried her into the house, and Eleanor tried to make her comfortable while Frank hurried to the hotel to get a doctor and to noufy her parents Elsie, the injured girl, and her mother took the spare bedroom. They decided to stay until her ankle was better. Eleanor and Frank decided that with the extra money they were getting for beard, they could hire a man to help in the garden and Eleanor could spend her time cooking, which she loved. She needed the time, for friends of Elsie soon found the secluded little spot. And once they came they cams again, always paying a good price for their meals, v When, a few weeks later, thelr mother returned. Eleanor and Frank ran to meet her gaily, and laughed at her 'astonishment when she saw the sign on their door (suggested by Elsie) "Tumbla-lon."

Y. M.C.A. RADIO SCHOOL ~~ i THE CONNECTION OF THE HEAD TELEPHONES. The magnet windings of head telephones are wound on the per- manent magnets in such a manner that a steady current flowing through them wil! either tend to Increase or decrease tha rtrength of magnetism. That is, the tele- phones have puiarity. With some makes of telepLones the cord is spotted with different colors on L each terminal lead. so that correct | connection may be made into the plate circuit of a vacuum tube re- ceiver. If the proper c-anections pre not made rre steady current which flows in the plate clreuit when the tube (lament is glowing will tend to dex.agnetize the tele- phone magnets, and thay will be- come less sensiiive. The highest potential in the plate circuit of a vacuum tube de- tector, for example, exis}s at the positive termina: of the plate bat- tery and between it and the plate if there {s resistance bet #een those two points. That is. if tte head telephones are connected between the plate and *he positive battery terminal they are suhjceted to higher potentials than if connected between the negative batterv ter- minal and one of the 'ilament leads. The insu.ation in the tele- phone windings is comp-ratively light, and after rhe telephones have Leen worn for ».me time moisture may collect. If the wiad'ngs are subjected to high potential it ls conceivable that the insulation 'might be-broksn-down.--With-the ordinary "soft" detector trbes this potential may tot be sufficient to do damage, but when "hard" tubes n used it m:y possibly. It is best=to be on the safe side and conneck the telephones in the low | potential part of the rircuit be- | tween negative battery and filament. The telephones must, of course, be of high resisiance. As has been stated in a previous article the re- sistance is only Incidental to a large number of turns of compara- tively fine wire, so that the great- er the number st turns the higher is the resistance. It is the number of turns which counts, since it 1s the product of a small curcent and a large number «i turns which re- sults in the necessary magnetizing force to properiy operate the tel- ephone diaphragms. Tha current is always comparativaly small, since the apparent resistance be- tween the plate snd filamert of the tube is high. As a matier of fact, the phone windings have resist- ance, plus the effective resistance ot inductive reactance to alternat- ing or fluctuating currents in the plate circuit. The two ecambined result in an effective resistance termed "impeiance," which in- creases directly with the frequen- cy of the fluctuations. The fre- quency 'passing through the tele- phones is comparatively low since the windings have too nigh impe- dance for very high fraguencies. However, it is necessary for best results to have a pair of telephones whose impedance at the average xpice frequency (in radio tele- phone reception) is equal to the plate-to-filameal internal resist- ance of the tube. This 's the fa- millar problem cf having the load resistance equal to the internal re- terminal sistanee-of-a-generator-or-bhattery == It {8 really, then. not so much the resistance as it is the impedance of the telephone receivers which counts. Ordina-ily, this impedance at an average voice fraquency of 800 cycles shoud be around 22,000 ohms, APPARATUS DEVICES By RALPH BROWN, RADIO ENGINEER A DETECTOR STAND FOR THREE CRYSTALS.

It is pointed Gut that many mildons of dollare are lost to the province each year owing to the fact, that people are not aware of the opportunities Ontario offers iu the way of recreation and healthful resorts. . Government officials who favor the plan point out that the state of Maine, which is mafhy times smaller than Ontario and which bas not by any means the natural playground facilities of Ontario, carried on a very successful advertising campaign last year which resulted in a net revenue of many hundreds of thou- sands of dollars to the individual residents of the state. That is the real object behind the plans of the government of Ontario. At the present time the Ontario government has two parties out sur- veying two of the Ontario counties famous for their lake and summer resort regions. One party is work- ing in the Kawartha lakes district and the other is further east in the Thousand Islands territory. Photo- graphs and general information are being compiled with a view to place ing on a better footing the tourist business of the province. The fact that so many owners of what would be beautiful resting places for touring motorists on main roads place "trespassers will be pro- secuted" signs on their property is one thing that Mr. Hales regrets, and he hopes that this may be overcome by the establishment of goverment "parking areas,' where the motorist may rest or pitch his tent if he so inclined. Up to the present government hotels have not appealed to the in- stigators of the plan. They feel that { with a proper influx of tourists and generally better conditions as the re- sult of government action that the hotel situation will more or less right itself. They feel, however, that the first step in the right direction would be the inauguration of a gigan- tic advertising campaign = which should attract the toutist.
