These stations, situated at dangerous or important points on the sea or lakes, transmit by automatic > apparatus radio signals during fog or thick weather by which vessels provided with radio compasses may definite bearings to gulde them en route or toward harbors. Although invisible and perhaps 100 or more miles distant, these beacons become “visible” by virtue of distinctive radio signals and their bearings may be readily reckoned. Five other beacons are now under construction and thirty-two more are proposed as soon us funds are available for thelr equip- ment. The lighthouse service advocates the use of & radlo compass aboard ships, and not on the shore, as in the Navy Department system. Most of the ves- sels employed by the service are now equipped. With radlo compasses, by virtue of which they can not only locate ations and beacons, but find the bearings of other vessels trans- mitting or in need of aid. Part of Mr. Preston’s work will be to determine what type of apparatus now on the market is suitable for the service; he will investigate the four or five types of radio compasses, for example, and may recommend al standard type for the ships in the, service, to which the lighthouse offi- clals are as yet not committed. All radio phenomena will be investigated as well as all forms of transmitting and receiving apparatus sultable for off shore signalling. In a word, the duties of the new engineer will be to correlate pure and applied sclence of radio. Besides the purely official use of radio throughout the service, its ap- plication has been found very bene- flclul a8 a means of emergency com- munication and for entertainment. So much interest has developed among lighthouse personnel that a radio club with a periodic publication has been in existence some time. Trans- mitting and receiving sets, bullt by the Kkeepers of lights themselves, where no standard equipment was installed, in instances have brought ‘them into touch with the world, saved lives in emergencies and enabled the keepers to send or recelve important information. All of this has added to the efficlency of the service. A case in point took place at Tree Point light station, off Al no regular transmitting station exlsts; the enterprise of the second assistant keeper, however, in having built & homemade transmitting ser, probably saved the life of his wife. When she was suddenly taken ill, he was able to radio to a nelghboring radio station for aid. The Tender ern, coming from Ketchikan, Alaska, took his wife back to a hospital for treatment.

The trend of design In radio ap- paratus is toward the furniture and away from the box design, toward completely inclosing not only the me- chanical and electrical parts of a ra- dio recelving set, but the accessories, such as batteries, wires and loud speaker, so that the whole unit can Dbe self-contained rather than spread out over the table or in various parts of the room. In the early days of radio the sock- ots, rheostats, condensers. colls and other parts were spread over a table, or attached to a bread board. The next development was the panel idea, wherein the various parts were as- sembled on a movable panel, Later this panel was assembled in a box, but in each instance the batteries and other accessories were not housed completely within the receiving set. —_————— Last year Ontario produced 95,000, 000 pounds of factory cheese, out of a total of 134,530,000 pounds for the whole of Canada.
