THE DAILY BRITISH W HIG. 15 ga | THE JUNIOR BRITISH WHIG | mop | STUDY hr SPGB1S | BIGGEST LITTLE PAPER IN THE WORLD ¥ THE SWIMMING CLASS Ornamental swimming is the title under which every little aquatic trick is performed. For the swimmer who is thoroughly at home in the water, almost any of these tricks is a matier of practice and can be performed af- ter a few trials. PORPOISE: Imitation of a porpoise is one of the greatest stunts you can da. It consists merely of a series of surface dives, letting the feet rise high from the water, legs straight and toes pointed, as you go down. If the water is shallow--that is, about four feet deep--go to the bottom, crouch, and spring upward Done over and Over again it is very effective. SOMERSAULTS: Tread water, with arms out to the sides, palms down. Bend head forward, take a hard stroke with both arms to force the body down, and keep it curved until you Teach the surface again. Performed swiftly and cleanly it is a pleasing trick. For a back somersault, start in the same manner, only throwing back the head, arching the spine, and bending the knees. SPIRAL: This is very effective. £tant swimming with craw! stroke, using a short double kick, on the or- der of a fish-tail motion of each leg. Then begin revolving, taking alter- nately a forward and a back-hand stroke. Start slowly, then speed up. REWOLVING STATUE: Also known as the rolling log. Straighten out to the floating position, and clasp hands, straight above the head. Take a deep " breath, and revolve rapidly by a slight movement of the head and waist Keep the body as straight as possible. keeping yourself afinat by an under- Arm movement, and hold the other arm, crooked, out of the water. The leg drive should be just as though you were pedalling a bicycle, and you will By reversing go around in a circle. £0 backward the movement you can just as easily. SWIMMING WITH HANDS AND FEET TIED: Not easy, but not as difficult as it sounds. feet tied, throw both arms out of the water, first to right and then to left, sweeping the water back while both feet work on the opposite side. By no means try this trick in water over your head, and never try it unless thare are qualified life savers stand- ing near and watching. DIVING FEET FOREMOST: This is difficult and very effective. Stand on the edge of the pood and leap out, as though you were jumping into the water. As your body is in the air, let the feet come farward, and the arms 80 back over your head. With the whole body straight, hit the water feet foremost at as much of an angle as possible. No doubt you can easily invent other ornamental feats in swimming.

And so we kinda Stuck around and helped each other out, and wasn't long before we feit we knew our way about. Well, one day Jim says, "Looky here, does it occur tp you that some day you might lose your way, and then what would you dv? Such things do happen, Herb, you know; you might just get astray and leave the bunch, and then first thing you know you've lost your way. It makes me feel so shaky-like to think of it at all" Says I, "That's not so very bad. We'll just arrange a call Remem- ber those detective yarns we read and how that guy named Tompkins and his brainy pal arranged a bird-like ory? An owl it was; you recollect? The notes could carry far; now if you'd use a thing like that, I'd find out where you are." "A swell dea!" mays Jim to me, "and kind of thrilling, too--a secret call twixt you and me---that hoot owl ery will do. And if you're lost rn hunt for you and call for you all dav. The gang won't need to know you're green enough to lose your way." Two days from then the very thing we'd talked of 'came to be. As luck Would have it, why, of course, the one that strayed was me. 'Twas almost dark when I was sure I'd lost 'my way to camp. I sat down on a mossy stump, all worn out from the tramp. My head sunk down--dejected-like-- and then I heard an owl. I knew that Jim had kept his word; I gave a joyous howl and started running to- ward the place from where the "Moo- ing" came; but somehow seemed as though the spot was never quite the same. Now here, now there; now far, now near, I heard him calling me, and J returned the cry till I was hoarse as I could be. I kept a-running back and forth,--it came from all around. At last T couldn't stand at all; I sank to the ground. And then I saw a little light come gleaming through the trees, and there was Mr. Williamson--and Jimmy, if you please! "I thought we'd never find you, Herb," says Jim, "because you see, when we fixed up that sig~ THE RECEPTION FACTOR OF A LOOP AERIAL. It was stated in a previous ar- ticle that tle maximum potential &ifference between the two sides of a loop aerial exists when the plane of the loop is parallel with the direction of travel of the waves received. The value of any partie. ular loop at a certain wave length depends upon a dumber of things all very closely related. The wave length range which can be covered lo recepuon with any particular loop aerial also depends upon a uuniber of related considerations. Since the vacuum tube is a poten- tial operated device, maximum po- tentin] is desirable and should be aimed at In the design of a loop and the selection of associated ap- parata. It has been found that the effectiveness of this type of aerial depends upon what is known AS the reception factor, and which may be calculated by finding the product of the number of turns, area of the plane of the loop and its inductance and dividing the re- sult by the product of the square of the wave length to be received times the total effective resistance. It is advisable to connect a va- riable condenser across the loop terminals in order to tune it. and the potential required for applica- tion to the vacuum tube is gener- ally that across the condenser. When this Is the case the number of turns of wire is the important consideration and should be made as large as possible. Since the in- €uctance of the loop increases as hv square of the number of turns and since the resistance increases very rapidly with turns. there is a limit to the number which ma) be used. The resistance of the loop is increased when the received wave Is near the natural wave length ot the [oop itself. which is another reason for using a shunt conden: ser. The loop circuit will operate best when the received wave 'is about three times this natural wave length of the coll. The great- er the area enclosed by the coil the greater will be the inductance and resistance of a given number of turns. Therefore, in order to have a maximum number of turns, as well as proper value o. induct- ance, it is necessary to limit the size of the loop when short waves are to be received. In practic it is advisable to determine the voit- age reception factce at the. wave length to be received for several different sizes of loops and take that which shows the maximum. A coll, four feet square. wound with seven turns of ordinary lamp cord, spaced about a half inch apart, is suitable for the meter re- ception with a variable condenser of 0.0005 maximum capacity. The condenser should have an air di- electric and be otherwise designed to have as low losses as possible, 80 that the tuning qualities and signal strength of the loop will not be impaired. The efficiency of a loop designed for short waves is rather greater than one debigned for longer waves, which is of some interest in connection with broad. east reception, a A Herald-Sun Featfra.

Here she met Justinian, the patrician, the all-powerful nephew of Justinian, the Emperor, and who, although merely the nephew of the Emperor, was practically ruler. The young Justinian fell madly in love with the beautiful Theodora. His aunt, the Empress Euphemia, objected to the marriage strongly.
