Throe buried conductors should have n kosr resistance and should be put deep ewe ugh so that the earth around ebon to permanently moist. See Figaro IS for a counterpoise of this type. The Rev era ge antenna Is one of the moat recent additions to the art of short-wavradio reception. Due to lta ebararterlstlrs. It was used at Ar drama n, Scotland, last IVcember, when 28 amateurs succeeded In brldg-tathe Atlantic with radio. The Beverage antenna ta adapted to the reception of signals on a single predetermined wave length. It constats ed one wire supported on 10 to poets, this wlrs having a length of either one or two even wave lengths. If designed for reception, the wire will be either 0,500 or lJio3 feet long. ' Enftke the customary form of antenna, this wire la grounded at both ends At the far end, away from the receiver, tt la grounded through a non-taactive resistance of from 230 to 400 ohms, snd st the receiving end through a variable Inductance. In the case of ttw receiver used at Ardroasan. five stages of radio frequency ampllflca-tlns regenerative detector and two stages of audio frequency amplification were need. As stated above, the Beverage antenna la designed for reception of a alagie wave length, depending on the length of the antenna wire. If ether wave lengths art to be received, the length of the wire must be changed. It has been found that the signal strength using 1.100 feet of wire, 12 I tf above the ground, la approximately the nme aa would be beard with a 130 feet slagle vertical antenna la height How ever, the Beverage' antenna la highly directional, and oa account sf tills fact Interference from dtrectioss other than those from which to receive la reduced to a ewe wfethe minimum. Also, due to the short distance treat the ground, static and are almost disturbances Stbwtaated. In gewrr a I. It may be said that the Beverage antenne is extremely well adapted far the long distance reception of signals from a given station whom transmitting wave length U known.

He declares his object la to secure the dominance of a party or group that will keep the government In a middle course of safety and moderation. Addressing a gathering of the National Liberal party, he took a firm stand against recent radical demands of the Labor party, and also made It clear that one of hla chief claims for support was hla friendly relations with the United State. He asserted all reasonable concessions must be made to Induce this country to enter the League of Nations, which would be crippled without It. And he suld Britain must pay her war debt to the United States lit full Working with the United States," declared he, ought to be one of the chief purposes of the government. If these two nations would work together, It would be the surest guarantee for a Just peace, and a Just peace Is the only lasting peace." The quarrel with the Labqr party H lu a way International, for that party. In a manifesto Issued last week, not only demands the creation of a war debt redemption fund by a special graduated levy on fortune exceeding 3.000," but also declare for the revision of the peace treaty and German reparations, for an International conference to arrange the freedom of the straits, for Independence In Egypt and elf government in India. Andrew Bonar I.w, having been elected bead of the Conservative party, accepted the post of prime minister and on Tuesday announced his cabinet. It la a respectable list of names, with quite a number from tbe peerage, but most of tbe new ministers are consldered rather nonentities. Themainstay of tbe cabinet la Marquis Curzon, secretary for foreign affairs. Uvni Cave, the lord chancellor, and Stanley Baldwin, the chancellor of the exrln-er. are men of proved ability.
