This in- stitution was founded many years use by, James Smithson for “the stated purpose of "the increase and diffusion of knowledge among man. The directors of the institution have decided that radio is among the best aids to this purpose. The institution arranged s. series of talks and lessons on various sclentliic subjects. which was broadcasted last . winter from radio station WRC in Washington. ‘ ‘ The circuits most in fashion Just now among the fans who build nail the latest wrinkles seem to be those that r'combino one stage of radio frequency amplification with a re- generative circuit.

Ons Daily Fact for Listeners The Fund and the Microfarad are units of what is called electrical capacity. They are the way that you describe the sizes of com ' densors. In the Primer several weeks ago we discussed just what electric capacity is. It: is the property. you remember. or holding electrons, just as a barrel will hold water. You can speak of the ‘cnpacity" of a ban-cl as being so many gallons or so many cubic feet; "gallon" and “cubic foot" being. then, the units of capacity for barrels. Just so you can speak of the capacity of an electric circuit. of a condenser. or of any other piece of electrical apparatus. This means how many electrons can the piece of apparatus hold. It is measured in units called farads. . One [and 1: defined as that capacity which will take in and bold as many electrons as flow in one second a current of one ampere. with 1“the proviso that the capacity will have its potential raised only one volt in taking in this many electrons. Conversely. if- you draw electricity out of a charged condenser, and if a current of one ampere 19w: for one second and lowers the potential or the ‘con- denser only. one volt. that condenser has a capacity of one rams. - This is a very large unit. A one- farad condenser would be the also of a. large room. So for ordinary purposes we use a unit called the micro-farm. which is just one- miilionth of a fared. This is the unit commonly employed in radio . work. A oneJnlcro-farad condenser"
