The late onej Wa considered bad enough. A wall arouml tne lmptrM piuce which had I w thslnnil shocks foe KIIO venrs fell into the surrounding moat; -modern ranlte wttlls were "amaged and a. new reinforced concrete ouildmg, one of several under construction by Am-! erican firms, and which are believed to be earthquake proof was slightly cracked. However, Dr. Omori says these buildings being on more fragile ground tlian other Tokio buildings have proved their ability to withhol.l any shock that might in future vis-1 it the city ,ulthough the last quake, was only one-sixth the intensity oft the shock of 1855 when 50,000 house were destroyed and 6,700 deaths re sulted.

Crystal detectors are divided Into two broad Classen, .oso re quiring a local battery for best operation and those which oper ate without such a source of lo cal electromotive force. Carbo rundum is an example or the first type, and illlcun nomettmes works bettor - ion a local poten tial Is applied. The carborundum crystals are silicon carbide and re made In an elxtilc furnace. When the carborundum crystals are pulverized they are used for grinding wheels and so fortb. When carborundum ls used n radio detect! r a minor blunt' melnl point Is caused to hoar against tlie crystal with some pressure. With silicon a finer point Is best and the contact Is much lighter. Slllco Is aim a product of the electric 'urnace. ' Catena, or leau sulphide. Is probably the most punulnr crys tal In preseut use. It i ' ucs in the second general ci.i.. men tion, since It works to very good advantage a rectifier without a local battery. When used as a detector, the galena crystal Is usually he'd In a clnmp or set In a cup with "Wood's metal." and a rather fine wire point la allowed to rest ll-.;hlly upon Its surface, (ialcna Is quite seusl live, but does not usually retain Ihat property as Innc. os do anmo otlicr crystals.

In whlcb the an timony Is somewhat pointed and rests wltb moderate pressure upon the silicon, la also used to snmo extent. This combination oIho functions without a local battery. In the case of the detectors re quiring a local battery means should bo pro -d for varying the voliage applied from tlie lo cal battery. A voltage divider, popularly called a "potentiome ter," may lie used for this pur pose. The voltage applied to the detector (no IncomlDs signals) may then b. adjusted so that the signal vnltag. is applied, a fairly large cin-rr : will peas In one direction, the current dne to signal voliage plus battery volt age siting In thi same direc tion, and an equal decrease of sIkiisI voltage will cause a com paratively small current to pass in the opposite direction.
