A new type of microphone, known as a “hushaphone,” was emploved re- cent at station WBZ, Springfield, Mass., to report a boxing match. The design of the hushaphone is such that only the announcer's voice registers on the diaphragm and the noise made by the cheering crowd does not inter- fere with his speech. It was thought that the radio fans would appreciate hearing the an- nouncer without interruption the crowd, but the letters received subsequently showed that at least half of the fans felt that the cheer- ing and the excited comments of the crowd added much to the mental pic- ture they formed of the combat. REBRFABCAST FAILURE. WJZ Meets Little Success in Re- production of London Program. NEW YORK, March 1f{.—An at- tempt to rebroadcast from station WJZ here of a radio musical pro- gram vlayed in London met with little success last night. At infre- quent intervals the London music or the volce of the announcer was faintly heard, but at most times the static was so heavy that all other sounds were drowned. Russian Program for WGBS.

Clucinpati Los A L RADIO TRANSMISSION AND WEATHER LINKED Bureau of Standards Confirms Ideas of Celebrated French Expert by Tests. The idea of the celebrated French expert, M. Reginald Bureau, to the effect that an intimate relation exists between radio transmission and the weather caled *“cold waves” and “hot waves,” has received important confirmation by the United States Bureau of Standards. The bureau has been observing the daylight signal strength of the long- wave signals from the transatlantic radio stations at Tuckerton and New Brunswick, N. J. “The signal strength was found,” says the official state- ment, “to be quite uniform during most of the year, as was to be ex- pected from the moderate distance of transmission, but with the coming cold waves of January, 1924, the sig- nals rose to more than twice their normal strength. At the same time there were deviations of many de- grees in the apparent directions of the sending stations, as indicated by the radlo compass, even in the fore- noon when long-wave compass bear- ings are generally free from errors. “The end of the serles of cold waves in January did not at once restore transmission conditions to the uni- formity of Autumn and early Winter, but eft a condition of instability which persisted through the com- paratively mild cold of February and early March. During this time the signals frequently fluctuated, going to high values for a few hours and then returning to normal without any obvious connection with weather conditions. Aftcr March 19 these ir- regularities entirely cecased, and disturbances transmission again became normal.” of Jane Smith (Continued from Yesterday's Star.) As Mr. Molloy walked up and down frowning intently, there were moments when his back was turned toward Jane. The first time this happened Jane's hand took hold of the thin papers and doubled them in half. The next time that it happened she doubled them again. She went on doubling them until the large thin sheaf had become a small fat wad. Then whlist Mol- loy's back was turned she lifted her skirt and pushed the wad down inside her stocking top. When Molloy faced her again her hands were folded on her lap. “I really must be going,” she said. He threw her an odd, sidelong glance, It made Jane feel a little cold. “Since you heard so much just now, I don’t doubt you heard Ember tell me just how conveneint this place would be for putting some one that wasn't wanted out of the way?"’ “Yes, 1 heard what he sald,” said Jane, “but I'm afraid Mr. Ember doesn't know everything. As far as I remember, he described these passages as a pla-e no one knew anything about.” “He did,” said Molloy, staring. Jane gave a little laugh, and felt pleased with herself because it sounded steady, “Well, to my certain knowledge, thres other people know the way in here, she said. Molloy showed signs of uneasiness. “Meaning you and me and . . . since you heard the rest, I'm supposing you heard me name Number One. ‘Oh, I didn’t mean vou and me at said Jane. “I was thinking of two quite different people, and as to Number One, I could answer that better if 1 were sure who Number One was. The third person I'm thinking of may be Number One, or may not. I'm not sure. I'm thinking,” said Molloy—"I'm thinking you know too much. I'm thinking you know a deal too much.” Jane met his eves full. Her own were steady, his were not. ‘Are you going to tell Mr. and let him ‘eliminate’ me?"* Molloy gave a violent start. “Where did you hear that?” he said. It wasn't I who heard that, it was Renata. It was one of the things that made her o anxious to change places with me.” 3 “And what made you willing to change with her?” Molloy’s voice was harsh with suspicion, “I hadn’t a job, or any relations to ®o to. I had exactly one-and-sixpence in the world. I didn’t know where I was going to sleep that night—that's pretty awful for a girl, you know; and then . . . Renata was o frightened. “She wouid be,” was Molloy's com- ment. “And weren't you frightened | now?” “I suppose I was,” sald Jane, “You had need to be.” The some- thing that had made Jane feel cold before was in Molloy's look and voice. “You had need to be more afraid than you've ever been in your life. Renata would have stayed quiet, but nothing would serve you but you must push, and poke, and pry. What were you doing here at all now, will you tell me that? Who showed you how to get down here? You say there are others who know the secret—who are they? Tell me that, will you . . . who are they?” Molloy’s sudden passion took Janeé by eurprise. Her heart began to beat, and she had difficultiy in con- trolling her voice. “Which question am I to answer first?” she said. “Shall I begin at the beginning? I found the passages by accident . . . .” Molloy gave an {mpatient snort. “Yes, I did reall, on my word of honor. _I couldn’t sleep and came down to get a book. I was standing In the shad- ow and T saw some one come out of the paneling. Next night I thought I'd try and find the place. The same person came downstairs and went Ember, through the door in the wall. I followed.” “Was it Ember?* FIFTEEN MINUTES OF RADIO EACH DAY BY JOSEPH CALCATERRA, Noted Authority on Radio. All Rights Reserved. Reproduction Prohibited, A New Principle in Loud-Speaker Unit Construction. Practically all radlo fans are more or less well acquainted with principle of operation of the ordinary type of phone or loud speaker. This principle involves the use of a permanent magnet which is used to exert a constant pull on a flexible diaphragm and whose strength of pull is varied by the variations of current flowing through an electro- magnet coll wound around the pole of the permanent magnet. As a current through the electro- magnet varies, the magnetic force exerted by the magnet changes &o that the combined force exerted by the permanent magnet and the elec tro-magnet of the diaphragm is va- ried. In a new type of reproducer the permanent magnet which serves merely to keep the diaphragm under tension has been eliminated and a tension spring substituted for it. A sketch of the method used is shown. A thin diaphragm, A, is supported on a circular rim, BB, and fastened at the rim by suitable collar ar- rangements. The diaphragm is connected at the middle to the end of an iron armature D, which is fastened to a pivot at the other end. A tension spring, E, keeps the arma- TheAstonishing Adventure By PATRICIA WENTWOQRTH (Copyright, 1925, by Small, Maynard & Co.) No, It wasn't Mr. Ember.” “Who was it “I believe you know. speaking slowly. “Was it a woman?’ said Molloy. He dropped his voice to a whisper and looked over his shoulder. Jane nodded. “Glory be to God!" “Did you see her face?" Jane nodded again. Molloy came quite close, bent down, and whispered: “Was it the old man's daughter? Was it"—his voice dropped to th very edge of inaudibility—"was it Lady Heritag: Jane nodded for the third time. Molloy spun round, went straight to the steel door and, opening it, looked up the passage. After a mo- ment he came back. “You saw -her face? Will swear that you saw her face?’ “Yes, of course.” “Then you've seen more than I have. Do you know, I've never really been sure.” Ember’s talk, and—it was her face you saw, not that mask thing they wear in the laboratory, for that's all I've seen? You saw her face?” “Yes, I saw her face quite plainly,” said Jane. In her own mind some- thing seemed to say with cold final- ity, “Then Lady Heritage is Number One. SEWElL Uk agatt L . said Mr. Molloy., ‘There was a long pause He seemed lost in thought, but suddenly he turned on Jane with the question which she hoped he had forgotten: “You were saying that there were two others who knew the secret—you saw them down here?—down here in the passages?” “Yes,” sald Jane, without hesita- tion, “I did. They were men. One of them had a beard. I couldn't tell you thelr names or describe them any more than that.” Molloy looked desperately puzzled. “Ember may know,” he muttersd. “He may,” said Jane. “I should ask him.” Molloy gave a grunt and began to walk up and down again. The simile of the rat in the drain which he had made use of In conversing with Ember came back upon him with un- pleasant force. His thoughts were confused by an access of unreasoning fear. Every time the question of what to do with Jane presented itself he shied away from it. Jane knew too much, There was no doubt about that. She knew too much. In the circles frequented by Mr. Molloy self-presevation dictated a certain course with regard to the person who knew too much. After 30 years Molloy still disliked the con- templation of that course of actlon. He was of those who pass by upon the other side. He had a well culti- vated faculty for looking the other way. It occurred to him that, after all, Jane was Ember's affair. Let her go back to the house, she was Ember's affair, not his. He became instantly very anxious to see the last of Jane. Just as she was wondering how long this rather horrid silence was going to last, he walked up to her in a purposeful manner, put his hand on her arm, and pulled her to her feet. You'd best be getting back,” he sald shortly. Jane felt as it some one had lifted a heavy weight off the top of her head. The weight must have been fear, and yet she did not know that she had been afraid. t the gate Molloy turned to her. ‘Can_you get: into the hall?” sald. “Without being seen, I mea 'm not sure, it's awfully risky. But I could walk home from the headland, that would be much safer, and if I've been missed, it would account for my absence.” Molloy bent a sulky look on her. “The headland —you know . that t00?” he said. Then, with an lmpa- tient jerk he switched off the light, sald Jane, said Molloy. you Well the | ture tensioned toward the core of the electromagnet, F, and keeps the dia- phragm in tension in its normal posi- tion with no current flowing through | the magnet coil When a steady current through the magnet, the magnet is added to the tension spring. Just as soon as current varlations are introduced in the circuit these varia tions in the strength of the magnetic pull on the armature vary the total pull on the diaphragm in practically the same way as the pull on the diaphragm of the ordinary type of phone or loud speaker is varied, causing a variation in strength and frequency of the sound produced by the vibrating diaphragm. Magnet Assembly Mounted. In this particular loud speaker, using this new method of providing the ten- sion on the diaphragm, the magnet as- | sembly s mounted on an adjustable | support which provides a means of vary- | ing the distance between the vibrating armature and the magnet core, thus providing a variable adjustment for strong and weak signals. When the signals are very strong o that there is & chance for the armature to hit the magnet core, the distance be- tween the armature and the magnet is increased until this possibility is elim- tnated and the rattling usually resulting from such hitting is eliminated. | For the reception of weak signals from distance stations, the distance between the magnet core and the armature is cut down to a minimum, thus making it possible for a very weak signal move the armature sufficiently to pro- duce good volume Though this construction is very sim- ple, the tone quality which it makes pos- sible is really very remarkable. is fowing pull of the force of the turned on ‘his ahead of Jane in CHAPTER XXil. Never in all her life had Jane seen anything so beautiful as the clear rain- washed sky, the grey rain-stilled sea. The little thud of the stone closing between her and Mr. Molloy was one of the most delightful sounds that she had ever heard. She felt as if she had never really appreclated the daylight before. There were nice woolly clouds on the horizon. The damp air was fresh, not like the air in those abom- inable passages. There was a gorse brush with about two and a half yellow flowers on it, rather sodden with the rain. Jane regarded them with intense affection. She walked down the gravel path, drawing long breaths and ready to sing with pure relief—*“Ease after toil, port after stormy seas.” She frowned, re- nbering the next line. After all, v were not out of the wood yet. An npleasant proverb eucceeded Spenser's line—"He laughs longest who laughs last.” “Rubbish,” said Jane out loud, she began to run. She came in with such a glowing color that Mr. Ember, who met her in the hall, was moved to remark upon it. fou seem to have enjoyed your walk. Where have you been.” “Round by the headland,” sald Jane. The roll of typed paper pricked her knee beneath her stocking top. In her arms she carried a sheaf of yellow tulips. She made haste to her room and set. the flowers in a jar on the broad window ledge where they could be plainly seen from the terrace. With all her heart she prayed that George Patterson, who was Anthony Luttrell, would see them. She did not know that George Patterson had ceased to exist, and that Anthony Luttrell, hav- ing taken the law into his own im- patient hands, was on his way to London. There had been an encounter with Raymond in the laboratory—her hand for a moment on his arm, his muscles rigid” under her touch; not a word spoken on either side, not a word needed. The scene carried Anthony to his breaking-point. At the next roll- call George Patterson was missing. Meanwhile Raymond was behind a locked door, and Jane set yellow tulips on her window-sill. Having made her signal, Jane turned her mind to the lists. She was afraid to keep them on her, and she was afraid to hide them anywhere else. If Molloy missed them, and had any means of communicating with Ember, she would be searched, and her room would be searched. Whatever happened to her, they must not recover the lists until she had copled them. She remembered the trap-door in the cupboard, but it was just possible that Ember knew about it, not likely but possible. After five minutes’ profound thought, she went to a drawer into which she had emptied a quantity of odds and ends. Renata, it appeared, had a mild taste for drawing. There were pencils, india- rubber, a roll of cartridge paper and some drawing pins. Jane'took out the cartridge paper and the drawing pins. She extracted the lists from her stock- ing top and smoothed them out flat. Then she opened the cupboard door, mounted on a chair drawn as close to the cupboard as possible, and pinned the lists on to the cupboard ceiling with a sheet of cartridge paper covering them. They just fitted in between two rows of hooks. Jane got down with a sigh of relief and unlocked her bedroom door. The evening passed like a dream. Lady Heritage did not appear at all pand Jane found a strange unreality in the situation which kept her talking to Mr. Ember in set schoolgirl phrases whilst he condescended to her with more than a hint of sarcasm. She was glad when she could take a book and read. It was 11 o'clock before she dared begin her night's work, but she came up to her room with her plan all ready. First she took off her dress and put on a dressing gown, just in case any one should come to the door. Then, having turned the key and switched off the light, she took a candle into the cup- board, set it on a shoe box, and took down the lists. She put a cushion on the floor, fetched Renata’s fountain pen and some sheets of foolscap which she had taken from the library, and began her work of copying. With the cup- board door shut there was no chance thet any one would sec her candle, " (Continued in Tomorrow's Star) torch, and walked silence. and to | | two | the | 12,000,000 pounc AMERICAN GAS CO.
