Government of France Weathers Cabinet Crisis Chamber of Deputies Notes Confidence in French Pre mier After Long De bate by 512 to 76. Paris, Dec. 16.—(By A. P.) —The chamber of deputies early this morn ing, after a long debate gave the Poincare government a vote of con fidence. The vote was 512 to 76. The chamber had been in session Since Friday afternoon until 1:25 o'clock this morning except for sup per recess. During the curly part of the session, M. Poincare gave an ex postion of tlie reparations situation during which he told the deputies that if they were not satisfied with the government lie and his ministry were ready gracefully to withdraw. After tlio premier’s address the ■ chamber, without taking up the ques- j linn of confidence in the government proceeded to the order of tbs day and was engaged in this when an adjourn* jnent was taken until 10 Friday evs ning. At the resumption of the alt ting the debate continued on the gen eral policy of the government as pro vided for under the agenda. The depu ties forgot that they had decided to Join the Interpellations regarding home policies to those concerning for eign affairs, and consequently they had to listen to a long discourse by the communist deputy, Georges Levy, for the application of the eight-hour day and echoes of the Malvay-Cal laiux case from Deputy Herriot. Deputy Pierre Forgeot, however, brought up reparations. He demand ed that all possibilities of making an arrangement should be exhausted be for the government committed Itself to any irrevocable course. He caused a stir In the chamber by declaring that France should reform its own fi nances before it sought to reform those of Germany. M. Herriot, after having ridiculed the government’s criticism of all sun dry subjects, declared that the radi cals would vote for the government because In foreign politics the gov ernment represented no party or com bination. but France. The deputies who were getting more and more restless as the time wore on. took their first opportunity to vote closure by a chow of hands. Then the president of the chamber put the order of the day, pure and simple, Implying confidence in the government and the chamber voted such. The chamber then adjourned.

Such being the case, j tho aurora takes place In extremely high regions where It is believed elec- ! tromagnetic waves are not likely to I reach. Reports from radio operators | support tho theory advanced by ] scientific observers that the aurora borealis has only a slight, if any ef* feet, upon radio transmission. The displays of the aurora borealis great ly affect land telegraph lines and transoceanic cables, often ninking it impossible to operate them. During a great display of Northern Lights in the spring of 1910 the land lilies throughout New Kngland and Can ada were completely crippled, hut the radio ships and shore stations from Boston to Halifax experienced no ill •fffecls. Moonlight has no appreciable ef fect upon radio transmission or re ception In the northern section of the country, but operators who have sailed through the tropics say that the moon has a tendency to weaken radio signals in tho southern climes. The efect is more noticeable in con nection with spark signals. Fog generally weakens tho strength of radio in that tho air and objects en veloped by the fog are damp. The dampness makes them better con ductors of electricity and causes them to absorb the radio impulses. The ideal night for established long dis tance radio records is the one having the cold, clear atmosphere of winter, just after a storm with its low hang ing clouds has cleaned the air. Sparks Bore two holes in the top of the cell and on opposite sides Vi-inch in diameter and 3 inches deep. Fill these -hoIes*with cider vinegar or a 20 per cent solution of sulphuric acid nnd water, then plug up the holts with paraffin wax to prevent evaporation. A battery may be charged in this manner several times and it often doubles the life of the battery. To ground a wire, Use cold water pipe, as it is the most direct connec tion to the ground. The radiator or a hot water pipe will do almost as well, but these pipes will have a great many more joints in them before they reach the ground, and every joint added makes just that much more resistance for the current. The gas pipe is nbout the worst ground pos sible, and it is apt to have an in . sulated bushing that will not allow the current to pass through. The postoffice department has added its 16th radio station for the air mail service. j When a variable condenser goes short duo to plates striking each other it is usually difficult to locate. To find the striking plates proceed as follows: Connect about four dry cells In series with the condenser. Ro tate the knob on the condenser slow ly and watch the plates. You bill detect sparks where the plates rule together. Run a knife blade between the striking plates to separate them. High class watchmakers put all watch movements in what is called a movement case. This case is a small box about one and one half inches in diameter, and is made of heavy material nickel plated with a good glass top and bottom. This glass is for the purpose of seeing the movement without exposing move ment to dust. One of these move ment cases makes an excellent "win dow'’ for a vacuum tube, or rather one case will make two windows, and make a nice appearance 6n panel. As proof of the efficiency of many of the broadcasting stations just look at the Increasing number of class B stations. A license to operate on 400 meters in this class carries with it, not only certain obligations pertain ing to the transmitter, but valuable guarantees to the receiver. Large demands are reported by manufacturers for copper wire, sheet, tube and liar stock and copper in one form or another, for use in radio apparatus. When making detector adjustment tests, ordinary magnetic buzzers are generally used. Although quite con venient, tlie faint tone emitted is not as desirable a signal as could be wished for. The tone can be raised by simply placing tightly-folded strips of paper between the magnet core and arma ture and between the armature and contact spring. The requisite thick ness of paper may be determined by experiment. Instead of the paper, rubber bands may be used, if they are wound tight ly around the buzzer in such a man ner as to occupy the same positions as the paper. In further adjusting the lmzzdr for a higher tone, the contact screw must also be regulated. Leading scientists of Norway pro pose to install a series of radio ob servation stations around the north pole so that the air currents from the polar regions may bo followed and tho centers of conflict with the warm southern currents determined. Such polar outposts would be of great im portance when a regular daily weath er forecast incomes necessary for the north Atlantic in connection with avi ntion service from Europe and Atnericu.
