CONFERENCE ON

STAMFORD. Aug. 25.—

concluded tomorrow. 'Followlng

at 6:30.
The conference is being held for
the purposes of disseminating a bet-
ter knowledge of the problems of
shade trees and their protection
against insects, diseases. both phy-
siological and, antomologicai. and
mechanical injuries.
The gathering, which will be at-
tended by some of the leading
botanists and forestry experts, as
well as by state and government
authorities, is sponsored by Dr. \V.
E. Britten. chairman of the Connec-
ticut State Tree Protection Examin-
ing Board. In addition to tree ex-
perts and state and governmental of-
ficers there will be representatives
from practically every state botany
and forestry board and from some
of the foremost agricultural col-
leges and schools of tree surgery.
Several tours of inspection. em-
bracing territory in this state and
also in New York have been ar-
ranged by F. A. Bartlett, cfiaifinan
of the entertainment committee.
_ The informal five-minute. talks
and discussion Will be heldeby these
authorities. Among the subjects to
be discussed are insect injuries
(leaf insects and wood borers). fun-
gous diseases (leaf fungi and wood-
'rotting fungi). tree surgery (prun-
ing and cavity work); mechanical
injuries and physiological maladies.
and general agencies (schools of bio
struction in tree work, examining

ILLUSTRATloN OF
INFORMATION ON HARMONICS
Many listeners are not familiar
with. the fact that it is often poe-
sible to pick up a. single broadcast-
lng station on several wavelengths
other than the true wave. The ac-
tion is possible owing to the pres-
ence of “harmonics" of the main
wave. and it is the purpose of this
article to explain hermonics and
give a little information about them.
Those of you who have studied
music are nyite familiar with har-
monics in musical notes and are
aware of their value. The saxophon-
e's very rich note is due to the fact
that this instrument generates many
"harmonics" in addition to the true
note being played.
Harmonics in radio are much the
same. A harmonic is a duplicate
wave—alike in every respect as re-
gards the speech quality. music.
etc.. but which is on a. different
wavelength. These harmonics occur
at definite intervals, and‘ if you
know the wavelength of the main
wave. it is only a matter of a little
simple division to locate the wave-
length of the harmonics.
Our illustration shows that we
mean. Here we have a station broad
casting on a wave .of 450 meters.
This is the true wave. and is often
called the "first harmonic.". Now.
the second harmonic will be found
at one half the wavelength. of the
true wave, that'is, at 225 meters. The
third harmonic will be one-third of
the main wave. or 150 meters: and
HARMON ICS‘
fourth harmonic at one-fourth. of
the main wave, or 125.5 meters.
.There may be as high as the seventh
harmonic or even greater, but- you
will not often hear more than the
first four or five. ‘
Bear in mind that these harmon-
ics are true "copies‘ 'of the main
wave as regards speech. music, or
whatever is being broadcast. All it is
necessary to do is to tune to one-
half. one-third or one—fourth of the
wavelength of the main wave. and
you will probably hear the concert.
lieceiving on harmnics instead
of the main wave is not only novel.
but occasionally has definite ad-
vantages. Static is very often less at
the lower waves: interference is de-
cidedly less annoying. Another thing
whach has been noticed on several
occasions is that at times one of the
harmonics of a phone station will
come through in daylight better
than the true wave. For instance.
the 112.5 meter harmonic of the
450 meter station shown may be
louder during the do.) time than the
main wave itself.
If you are within 1.000 miles of a
station you can usually count on
getting the second and third har—
monics fairly well; to get the fourth
or fifth harmonics. however. you
will have to be about five hundred
miles nearer. Here is something for
the experimenting listener to try
out. It may be not only good fun.
but give very worthwhile results.

1870 the astronomical debate has
been carried on—some insisting that
telescopic observations showed the
presence of animal and vegetable

opposite.
Scientists left their powerful in-

Professor Edwin B. Frost. who

VANCOUVER, B. G. Aug. 25.—
Combinations of four dashes. heard
by wireless stations in this vicinity
each morning for the last four
weeks. are not mysterious messages
from Mars. according to an explan-
atory statement issued by E. J.
Haughton. superintendent of the
Dominion government wireless ser-
vice.
The signals are merely those sent
from United States radio beacons
on a new type of transmitter. said
the statement. A series of dashes
is the characteristic of the beacons
for the guidance of vessels, both in
Puget Sound and the Columbia
River. it is explained. The opera-
tors who heard the signals may
have heard the main wave or n
harmonic. said Superintendent
Haughton.

1 o'clock when strange and uniden-
tified signals were received on a
twenty-four tube radio set, is not
of the opinion they came from Mars.
“I think it must have been a com-
bination of atmospherics and bet-
erodyning." he said; “that is. inter—
ference between various stations. I
think it impossible that it could be
a message from any outside planet."
Commenting on his'presence at

from Mars. but: that he would be
ashamed of himself if he had ignor—
ed the meritorious efforts being
made to obtain communication.

Out into the open and alonz the
crest of the hill it surged, than
way down the slope toward the
where their boats awaited
them. Sakr-‘el-Bahr ran as lightly
as though the swoonhig woman he
bore were no more than 'a cloak he

”Ahead of him went a half dozen of

across the dark shimmering water
to the woods that screened the
house of Penarrow from his view.
it had been part of his purpose to
‘visit it. as we know. But the he
cessity had now been removed. and
he was conscious of a pang of dis-
appointmmt. of a hunger to look
again upon his home. But to shift
the current of his thoughts Just
then came two of his ofllcers—
Otlunani and Ali, who had been
muttering one with the other. As
they overtook him 0thmani set
now a hand upon his arm and
pointed down toward the twinkling
lights of Smithick sud Penycum-
wick.
"My lord.” he cried, “there will
be lads and maidens there should
fetch fat priCes in the Sch-el-
.Abeed." ‘
‘ “No doubt," said Sakr-el-Bahr,
Iscarce needing him, needing, in,
laced. little in this world but his
innings to look upon Penarrow.
"Why. then, my lord, shall I take
'flfty TrueBelievers and make a
raid upon them? it were an easy
itask. all unsusplcioss as they must
'be of our presence.”
Seb-el-Bahr came out of ' his
musings. -
"Othrnani." said he, "art a fool.

wouldst than have come to know
by now that those who once were
of my own race. those of the land
from which I am sprung, are sacred
to ins. Here. we take no slave but
these we have. On. then, in the
name of Allah!" '
But Othmsnl was
lenced.
"And is our perilous voyage
across these unknown seas ,into
this far heathen land to be re-
warded by no, more than Just these
two captives? Is that a raid wor-
thy of Sskrel-Bahr'!"
’ "Leave Sakr-eLBshr to judge,"
was the cart answer.
“But reflect. my, lord; there is
another who will judge. How shall
our Basha, the glorious Asad-cd-
Din, welcome my return with such
poor spoils as these? What ques-
tions will he set thee. and what ac-
count shalt thou render him for
having imperiled the lives of all
these True-Believers upon the seas
for so little profit?"
"He shall ask me what he
pleases, and I shall answer what I
please and as Allah prompts me.

he was full conscious their-the bat-

corsairs had no experience and
one upon which they must have
hesitated to venture with another I
leader than himself. But the star
of Sakr-el-Bahr was a star that
never led to sught but victory, and
their belief in him, the very Jave- A

the quality of his men Sakr-el~Bahr
made haste to run in and grapple.
He prevailed, of course. as he must.
ever prevail by the very force of
his personality and the might of
his example. He was the first to
leap aboard the Dutchman, clad in
mail and whirling his great scilni-
tar, and his men poured after him
gshouting his name and that of Al-
lah in a breath.
Such was ever his fury in an en-\
gagcment that it infected and in-
spired his followers. It did so now,
and the shrewd Dutchmen came to
’percelve that this heathen horde
was as a body to which he supplied
the brain and soul. They attacked
him fiercely in groups, intent at all
costs upon cutting him down, con-

sustained by no more than the very
force of his will, he sank down in
a. heap among the dead and wound-
