YOUTHS ARE LUCKY FINDERS

Are at Work on Something ElseSingle
Turn Loop Brings
Amazing Results.
Washington. I>. (\?In a general way
It Is known tluit during the war a
method was found to communicate
with a submerged submarine from
shore or sen. How this .s done and
how it came to be discovered that It
could be done not until now has been
made public. Idke a good many other
revelations it came when the researchers
were at work on aimther problem.
Tbt* scientists of the radio section
of tiie bureau. M standards stumbled
on Its secret arm luck> ones to suspect
it were two young assistants not
long out of high school. Their experiments
and the development of what Is
known as the "loop aerial" for submarine
radio communication by the bureau
resulted in a device so simple
and perfect, and producing such wonderful
results, that the navy has
adopted it and is equipping all its undersea
craft with this style of loop.
In the fall of 1!U7 a series of experiments
was undertaken by the bureau
to develop an apparatus for the detection
of enemy subnierslhles. .1. A. Wll
loughby aii<l P. l>. Lowell were engaged
in tin- work. They had n notion
that a closed or rubber eneased coll
of wire offered the best chances for
success. They made one and threw
it one night into a tank or rresn water
ou the grounds of the bureau near
Chevy Chase, Md? a suburb of Washington.
To their delight they received
a signal from the big radio station at
Arlington. The next night they submerged
the coll In the tidal basin of
the Potomac near the new navy building.
Again the signal came with no
difference In strength whether the loop
or coil was suspended in air or sunk in
the river.
Discovery Significant.
The significance of this discovery
struck both young men. Here was p
way possibly to detect the presence of
enemy submarines, 1?ut surely to talk
with our own. which was equally Important,
had been thought impossible.
This was in November.
In December Imprnvoinents In the
stibmerped coil broupht the reception
of slpnnls from Lyons, France; I'arls
and San Diepo, Pal. By March last
year excellent slpnals were received
on n staple turn coll 150 feet lonp by
sixty feet hiph hnvlnp a wave lenpth
of 100 meters by 15.000 meters.
In April Mr. Wiltauphby discussed
with Lieutenant Commander II. 1'. Si.
Clair of tlie radio division of the navy,
the use of loops on submarines for
both transmission and reception under
water. Both he and Mr. Lowell were
sent to New London to work under
Commander McDowell in eh ante of the
base, to install the apparatus for a tryout
on submarine D-l. It is a simple
contrivance, the metal frame of the
submarine Itself beinp a part of it.
this beinp used as a "pmund" just as
the earth Is used in hand telepraphy.
The elYouit Is thus made complete. As
finally perfected the loop consists of
two Insulated wires protinded at the
extreme ends of the hull carried over
Ruital le supports to the eonninp tower
nnd th tue throuph "radio-lead-ins"
down into the boat to the receivinp
nnd Kcndinp apparatus A staple turn
loop was used on the D-l. With its
top suhrnerped three feet slpnals were
received from a submarine chaser
three-quarters of a mile away.
A new type of loop was tried on the
TJ. S. S. in which the lead-in wires
were broupht in from the upper side
of the loop instead of the lower and
the entire loop was insulated from the
hull. Better, hut not satisfactory, results
were obtained. I'p to th s time
the frame of the boat had not been
used as a "pround."
The lower side of the loop was removed
and the ends of the wire fastened
to the how and stern. The top
of the loop was suhrnerped elpht feet; 1
slpnals from Nation, (Jermnny, were
clearly heard. Very sharp Indications
of direction were obtained when tinder
water or on top of it. And soon other
stntions were beard, incltidinp Carnarvon.
Knpland; Koine, Italy, and various
merchant vessels. Later experiments
showed that communications
can l?c carried on at sen under all conditions
more efficiently with the closed
loop aerial than with the ordinary
untenna now in pcnernl use.

Officer Had Planned.
The Filipinos, It seems, hnve m?re
t tut it one way of serving a watermelon.
The melons grown In the far eastern
archipelago are small In size nn<l lufi-rior
in flavor. Lieutenant Smith,
stationed in one of the town* of northern
Luzon, hankered for the juicy
lusciousness of a melon from his own
sunny southland. So his family in
1'eniiessee car? fully crated a choice
watermelon and shipped it to him by
express. It cost him a good many
pesos, nut a,, nmtter. It was a beauty
and arrived in perfect condition.
lie instructed tlie cook to prepare a
good dinner that very day; the splendid
melon was to he served as a crowning
glory. The provincial treasurer
the seh'H'l tesieher and the few Americans
in the town were invited to partake
of a treat that was to he a surprise
to them.
The dinner went forward successfully;
lor there was much curiosity
concerning the surprise that the host
had promised his guests, and all eyes
were turned frequently toward the
door through which it was expected to
appear. At last it came The cook entered,
hearing aloft an immense platter.
and there came from the company
a chorus of "Ahs!" The platter was
placed on the table under a halo. no. a
cloud of steam. The melon was
boiled, thoroughly boiled.
The quick rising of the host to ids
feet with the carving knife in his hand
convinced the cook that he had better
make the quickest exist possible,
which was through the window, and
involved a leap of teu feet to the
ground. Ileports from the second
barrio on the road leading north were
that he was still running when ho
passed through. Lieutenant Smith has
not been aide to smile about that watermelon
yet.- New York Herald.

the case of children. The plant grows
usually in great abundance behind old
barns, and Is said to he so antagonistic
to the Ivy that if planted near it the
Ivy disappears.
