The ground Is always left on the original binding posts. It might he preferable to use a three.point snitch on the face of the panel for this purpose,"instead of the landing posts. In this way any stage of radio frequency may he cut out by a turn of the switch, and it would he unnecessary to change the antenna from one binding post to another. Parts Needed for Flexible Coupler Specifications for Construc tion of Attachment for Experimental Work. • By PETER MOMBELLO Most varioeonplers on the market today are not very flexible and their degree of selectivity cannot he varied to obtain the best results from e\cry hookup.

The brass nut into which the solid brass shaft is to be screwed is then pushed into the wood ball, which must he previously cut to hold It. The nut is tinned and the brass strip soldered to it and held down permanently by screwing' It to the rotor. This last strip is on the outside.

The snake, which will find a home In the Zoological museum. Is over seven feet long, and was captured by the ladles of the expedition, Miss Ruth Rose, the historian ; Miss Isabel Coop er, the artist, and Mrs. John Teevan. Miss Rose/In describing the capture, said that the male members of the party, Including Sergte Chetyrkin, archeologist, and Mr Teevan, were away In the depths of the jungle while the young Women w ere in a subcamp with a group uf native women and children. The welkin was suddenly split with feminine screams, and the white ladies boldly ran to the scene of the huriubaioo. Native women of Rritish < iuiana do not know a poison ous snake from the harmless kind, xnd they had never seen a scintillating rainbow boa before. That was what they were screaming about. Under the leadership of Miss Rose the ladies closed in on the snaike, whose dazzling beauty, Miss Rose in timated, seemed intended as a protec tive coloration to blind Its foes. The standard way to capture a big snake Is to grab it by the hack of tin- neck, and if you are an ordinary Indy to call for male help. Ornithological Indies never think of calling for help. Exactly which, one grabbed the hack of the boa's neck lirst none of the grabbers could tell.

Hungarian Gypsy Music The music of the Hungarian gypsy has been handed down from father to son for ages and is distinctive and tra ditional. I’liey have their own instru ments, the oldest of which is the Rackoczy pipe, a kind of small Lut rough oboe with a half wailing, half humorous t<»ne. I; would appear to he ns much Hungarian as gypsy, however, for the name is taken from fbat of a field outside Rudapest, where at one time the kings of Hungary opened their parliament or riksdag. It seems likely fhat the insmi'ment was used eittier for calling the members together or for ritual purposes connected with the ceremonies of die opening and closing •of the. parliament, ami so'was given the name of tie* place where it was utilized. Drake's Set of Bowls One of tie* features of the great his torical py-geant of Devon, prodiiced a* Torquay recently, was the use, in on* scene, of the identical set of howls with which Drake was playing when the armada came In sigh*. These howls are among the treasures, of Tor quay museum, s;ays London Tit-Rtts. There are people, however, who doubt their authenticity, or,- rather, the truth of the famous anecdote nf Drake and his celebrated game on Plymouth Hoe. there tS no contemporary account of the incident, which was described for .the first time in Rritain in an Eighteenth-century hook. It is men tioned. however, in a Spanish political pamphlet published In 1024. Owl, Symbol of Wisdom Tin 1 owl has been known as the symbol of wisdom since th** 1 dawn of history. This bird figures extensively In tin* legends anil folklore of all peo ples of all ages. Among the ancient Greeks Athena was the goddess of wisdom and the patroness of the arts, and her attributes were the serpent, the owl and the egis The mystery surrounding the owl s nocturnal habits and Its large, a 1 nTUt stationary eyes have probably eontrihut-ed niosl toward making it an object o; - vqpcrstitijin.
