UTAH. cAskfortht American Flowers to Bloom at Stockholm ' Flowers from Yellowstone park will oon blossom in the npyul gardens of the Swedish capital, according to word received in Washington by the United States national park service from Prof. II. S. Conrad of Grinnell college, director of the lecture and nature guide service in the park. During the recent tour of Crown Pripce Gustavus Adolphus and his consort through Yellowstone National park, Professor Conrad was detailed to accompany the royal party and to give the prince, whom he found to be an botenthusiastic and anist, the benefit of his intimate knowledge of the mountain flora. Professor Conrad has shipped to Stockholm a collection of the rarer species of Yellowstone plants, not as yet represented in the royal herbarium, and he has aibo sent seeds of a number of the choicer flowers which, it is hoped, will become permanent American representatives at the Swedish court. d Diagram of the Selective Receiver Described In This Article. The Apparatus Indicated In Dotted Line Is Optional. Five-Tub- e By FRANK W. HARTH, In the New York Herald-TribunThere Is nothing particularly new In this circuit, which is the old Wea-gan- t, The set with a few variations. originally was designed for local reception only, but one local did not come In very well, so a stage of was added. A location In the center of Manhattan was selected for a test. The set is fairly compact, the panel being 7 by 21 inches and the baseboard e. . g radio-frequen- h Indies. The chief claim of novelty is the placing of the It. F., secondary, and regenerative coils on one form and having them all of the same diameter. That simplifies the work somewhat. There are five tubes, a It. F. amplifier, a detector and three audio amplifiers. The author selected the type of audio amplifier used because the transformer gives a strong initial input, free from distortion, for the two stance-coupled stages to amplify. The result I a signal of surprising fidelity and somewhat greater volume transformer-couplethan a 32 by 20 ? resi- . two-stag- e critical. Three dials of the same design make a better-lookinpanel. Tiie R. F. tube may or may not require a. negative bias, depending, of course, on the characteristics of the particular tube. From one and one-hal-f to three volts usually will make the tube function properly. To Include a C battery at this point, remove the lead X XI, as shown in Fig. 1. The set is easy to tune, as there are only two major controls, antenna dial and wave-lengtdial. After the detector tube is properly adjusted the setting of the rheostat can remain permanent and the volume of the output the R. F. signal controlled entirply-htube rheostat. If the coils are properly, balanced the dials should read alike and then can be successfully logged. When tuning the set the dials should be rotated slowly, a degree at a time, as the stations simply drift in and out without the usual whine or whistle. If the regenerative unit Is is indicated correct, by signal becoming mushy when too much capacity Is used that is. when the dial is advanced too far. If the set has a tendency to plop," remove two or more turns from the secondary side of the regenerative coil ns a means of correcting the fault. Another method is to move the regenerative coil from Inch to s inch away from the secondary coil. The value of the C battery used in the audio circuit may be anything from four and a half volts to nine volts or morp' if ninety or more volts of B battery are used. Most audio amplifiers work better with a C" battery, and the saving of B battery is considerable in the long run. Wave-LengtRange. The set should ordinarily tune from 200 to 526 meters smoothly and with equal volume. However,' the author found one set in several he built that was for some reason or other a little tricky on wave lengths under 300 meters that is, it had a tendency to spill over and was difficult to balance. This tendency was corrected by making use of the Rice system of neutralization. This consists of an inductance and a neutralizing condenser. These parts are indicated in the drawing to show their location, but need only be used If difficulty Is experienced on the low wave lengths. There is, however, only one chance in a hundred of their being required. The coil Is composed of the same number of turns as the R. F. coil and is wound directly over the R. F. coil. The tube in the last stage can be a 201-if the horn type of loud speaker is used. However, if the builder intends to use a cone-typ- e speaker, he will require a greater output voltage properly to vibrate the cone. The use of a UX171 power is suggested here as a suitable means of providing the necessary power without distorting the signal. An amperite or similar filaamment control device of one-hal- f pere capacity must be provided for this type of tube. The choke and large condenser shown in the diagram can be used or not as the builder sees fit. With their use the output signal will be much smoother, as the heavy direct current Is through the choke Instead of being allowed to pass through the speaker coil. Parts Required. Tiie following is a list of parts actually used, but there is no reason why the set would not. work well If other equally suitable parts of good quality were substituted : One cabinet. 21 inches long and 12 Inches deep. One baseboard, 7 by wood. Brass strip, See text. by One Radlon panel, 7 by inches. Two varla le condensers, .0005, General Instrument. One variable condenser, .0002, Getr n d amplifier. The cells, are of the ribbed type of hard rubber tubing, recommended for Its high electrical efficiency. There are 12 ribs running lengthwise of the tube and spaced equally around the The turns of wire, circumference. touching only the tops of the ribs, leave a space under the coils and provide practically an air core. The antenna coil was wound (as shown In Fig. 2) with No. 22 D. C.

When the police asked her to prove ownership, Mrs. Garand stood In an adjacent field and began to whistle "Theres no place like home.

The aerial used with this set was about 75 feet in length. If a shorter aerial is used, 50 turns may be required. The to spacing between the primary and secondary is not critical; from to works. Construction of Coils. The coil form shown in the drawing (Fig. A) performs, a threefold duty 5-- .that of supporting the R. F. primary, the R. F. secondary and the regenerative coil. The R. F. primary coll is composed of 20 turns of No. 22 D. C. C., the R. F. secondary coll (L4) of 46 turns of No. 22 D. C. C., and the regenerative coil (L5) of 12 turns of No. 30 P. C. 0. The spacing between the R. F. primary and the R. F. secondary must lie two Inches, or slightly more may prove even better. The regenerative coil (L5) Is spaced about inch from the secondary. To obtain a variable condenser of .0002 capacity for the regenerator a larger condenser can be used by removing a number of the rotor plates. 'In this case a .00035 was used, after removing four rotor plates, which brought the capacity down to approximately .0002 mfd. The inductance forms can be fastened directly to the baseboard with a wood screw or elevated a half Inch or so on strips of brass.
