4 . XP THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG. MONDAY, APRIL 24, 18 ---------- BSC A00L THE STUDY BPORIS | ee ------ ONE REEL YARNS COWARD'S CAMP There was no use talking. Billy Robinson wagn't brave. He didn't like to run errands aftér dark; he didn't Uke to be in the house by himself, and he would cross the street rather than pass a strange dog. Mr. Robison worried about ft. "I'm sure the boy has the right stuff in him," he said. "I think it's only nervousneas. 'I don't belleve he's really a coward at heart." So when Billy asked if he could go tamping with a bunch of Scouts up the river, his father was glad. He thought it would &lve Bllly a chance to prove himself. "You might get in practice' he teased, 'by siseping out in the yard," - ' "That's not a bad idea." said Billy, "if--if I had some one to camp with me. I could put up that lawn tent of ours." : "I know the very thing," put in Mrs, Robinson. "Why don't you and that boy that's visiting the Feddersens camp out one night? I think it would be fun. You like him, don't you?" "Sure," said Billy. 'I'l gO over and talk about it to him now." Away he - went, to come back with} the boy, Roger, a little later, They set up the tent and then carried their dinner out there to eat it. But before they went, Mrs. Fedder- sen came over to talk to Billy, "I'm afraid," she said, "that Roger is nery. ous. The least little thing frightens him. You kind of look after him, won't, you, and don't let him get scared." : T . Billy ipromised. Fle had cause to ~ cemember "his promise that eyening. They had just dropped off to sleep when he was awakened by a strange noise. Something was moving in the doorway of their tent. He lay there shivering, biting his tongue to keep from crying out in terror, but he was determined not to waken Roger. Un. Ser other conditions, he would have screamed and run somewhere frantic- ally. He felt cold all over, and it seemed hours before the thing ingide moved out, and, in the door of the lent; with the moon shining on it, he made it wut to be a dog. Bu Billy didn't Ysleep any more, though he felt strangely happy at knowing he could tontrol himself when he had to. Now Le wouldn't be afraid to 80, camping. "Gea!" sald Roger next morning, I don't mind sleeping out a hough I was mighty scared PI or if the night. Something got in the ent. But jour mothir said something bout yaa being kinda seary, so I kept till. But I sure had to hold my reath to keep from hollering."

As the ball rebounds the opposing player must rush in and try to hit it with his hand and knock it back against the wall. He may hit it before it touches the ground or after it has bounced once. If he allows the ball to bounce more than once he loses a point to his opponent. The ball should not be hit so hard against the wall that it will rebound out of the court without first touch- ing the ground inside. If a player does this he loses a point to his op- ponent.

RADIO ScHOOL MUTUAL INDUCTANCE. it a currght of electricity flows through a circuit there is a mag- netic field about the circuit at wight ahgles to the wire. If the current flows through a coil of wire in the circuit the field sur- rounds the coil also. In the case of the coil the-tield will be great- er the more turns of wire there are in a given space. The relation between the field strength and the strength of the electric cur- rent flowing in the coil is the in- duotance or "self-inductance," as ished from another kind of inductance. . If a second circuit, either with or without a coll, is in close prox- imity to the first, the magnetic field of the first circuit will sur- round the second circuit, orsat least a portion of it. The part of the magnetic tield of the first cir- cuit, which also surrounds 'the second circuit, is called the "mu- tusl fpductance" of the first or id "eireuit upon the sec-\ ond of "secondary circuit." The amount of this mutual inductance depends upon the distance of the secondary from the orimary and on the floor, and a hanging veal cut in rosettes.

It is seen from the sheve that if two circuits come close enough to each other. there will be mutual inductance of the first upon the second, providing there is a cur- reat of electricity in the first. Mu- tual inductance and self-induc- tance are t properties of electrical circuits and are made use of to very great extents in radio. as well as general electri- cal work, For example, a spark coll operates very largely because there is mutual inductance of the the secondary. , She was saved from self-pity s 'she. began to think through Erik's mind.
