One ot the worst Irritations suffered by the crystal, detector operator Is the frequent jarring out of good adjust-uient. Often the slightest vibration caused by a heavy footfall, slamming of a door or someone brushing against the table is sufficient to disturb the good point. The process of the readjustment has to be gone through again. This happens with such regularity that numerous schemes to avoid Jarring the detector stand have been Revised. Most of these were failures, and the phrase "Don't Jar Out Detector," be- ftubber Bands 1 NT came a standard joke.

There is one scheme which will protect the adjust ment from almost anything short of an earthquake. This Idea was first encountered on a shipping board vessel. The vibration on a ship is great, and for this reason galena cannot ordinarily be kept in adjustment, and is rarely used. However, on a vessel in transoceanic service the crystal, unless the very best possible, will-not bring in a signal for days at a time when the ship is near mid-ocean, far from any land stations. This operator had rigged up a shock absorber for his galena detector as shown in the figure.

Little explanation is necessary. A block of wood a foot square or smaller supports four large nails or wood posts between which are stretched rubber bands as shown. These bauds support the detector stand. If the stand Is heavy with a small base it will be top heavy; and the stand had better be mounted on a larger base. The rubbers should be only heavy enougli to keep the stand from touching the block, so that there is plenty of flexibility to absorb all vibration.

Use a flexible cord for connecting the detector into the circuit so that it can be taken off the shock absorber and "adjusted on. the table. When a good adjustment is obtained, carefully replace the detector on the shock absorber and it will stay in adjustment almost indefinitely unless of course disturbed by the signals or static. In the case mentioned the defector would hold an adjustment through an entire watch, though the vibration from the engine was pronounced and In a heavy sea there were strong tremors and jump. This ship rolled considerably, but although the detector The Appellate Division of the, Supreme Court in Brooklyn has-halttkU down a decision of interest to every motor car owners who has insured AgalnBt theft of his automobile.

The two connections for the revolving coil are made by wires running through the hollow tube to the center, then through a hole to the windings. Tills connection will do away with sliding contacts In the va-rlocoupler. It often Is difficult to make dials or knobs hold firmly In place on such Instruments as variometers, rheostats, lie-cause the shafts are too smooth.

This may be overcome easily by filing one side of the shaft slightly, making a tint surface. Place, the tightening screw over this flat, space. Adjust It firmly, and the dials will he held hi place. Get ft box of BULGARIAN HERB TEA. Flush the poisons from the bowels.
