A stage of generous proportions, group of lovely trees provided a back ground; two huge oaks rising through the flooring completed this lovely, na ture-made setting. An orchestra pit was arranged and lighting elfecta ca pable of producing scenes of falry-like loveliness Installed. A convenient, curving hillside which slopes down to the stage was lined with seemingly endless rows of seats and the ensem ble was complete. A 40-plece orchestra provides the music and the chorus is made up of some 96 picked S t Louis boys and girls, some of whom have been heard at the New York Metropolitan opera house, and took part In the cast There are 7.613 reserved and 1,600 free seats, with, standing room for 2,- addltlunal visitors. The U»e GYeaitegt Care in Handling Power Tubes IVith the increasing popularity ol power amplifiers and power packs, ra dio has entered the power field, from the standpoint of the use of blgh- voltageequlpinent In many of the power packs employ ing rectifier tubes of the 280 and 281 types, for use with power amplifiers using the 210-type tubes in single or push-pull arrangements, the voltages supplied hi) the power tubes often run over 400, lu using such equipment no danger U Involved either to persons or to equipment if ordinary commonsense precautions are taken In its handling. It is well to remember that, when dealing with such voltages, the currept source should be turned oft before any attempt is made to change tubes, equip ment or wiring. Pulling a 210-type tube out of Its socket, for Instance, while tl\e cur rent to the power pack and amplifier Is turned on will cause a surge of voltage; which may be sufficient to charge the filter condensers of the power pack to the breakdown point, unless the condensers are designed to withstand very high voltages. The usual result of a breakdown in condensers is a decided heating is for 12 weeks, starting about June L On one evening during the 1926 sea son, 11,000 persona crowded them selves Into the enclosure and 9,000 San Xavier Del Bae CAN XAVIER DEL BAG Is a great white church near Tucson, Arls^ which rencheh well back toward the beginning of history In America. Somewhat contrary to the general rule, this venerable edifice, said to be the most complete Spanish mission the world today, faces presumably because of the fact that such supply trains and visitors that might come were likely to approach from the south—Mexico. Dates connected with its history are confused. It appears to have been es tablished along abont 1692. by the aged Father Kino, who set out north west from the City of Mexico to spread the light of Christianity among the tribes o f the North. Approached from the south, the symmetry and beanty of the mission is decidedly Impressive.

Try Moving Loud SpeiJcer and Shifting of Tubes If “mlcrophonlc” noises are experi enced in a set, a condition caused b.v mechanical vibrations Jarring the ele ments of the tubes, try the loud speak er as far from the set as the cord will reach. If that does not stop It, one of the tubes Is mlcrophonlc. Shift the tubes to different sockets and pay par ticular attention to the detector. An other tube In the detector socket may cure the trouble. Tbe best plan, would be to get a new tube and by the proc ess of elimination look for the micro- phonic tube.

Odd SuhHdnce Proven Puzzle to Scieniinin Nehalem wax is the name given a somewhat mysterious product found on tbe beach near the mouth- of the Nehalem river, in Oregon, says the Portland Oregonian. It was observed by the early explorers of that coast. Later considerable deposits were found in the sand of the beach. In 1846 sev eral tons of this queer waxllkt sub stance were shipped to Hawaii, and since then many tons of it have been sent to northwestern markets. Opinion' Is divided \conceflilng the nature of the substance or its origin. Some hold that It is beeswax, and others contend that It is a mineral substance called ozocerite. It Is usual ly found in large rectangular blocks. It has a honeylike aroma when foesb- ly cut. Examination made in tbe lab- university shows oratory of a western that the substanceibstance closelye appri beeswax In conpipsition and does not clos accord with the'propertles of ozocerite. Wave Theory Backed The wave theory for explaining all the forces of nature has triumphed completely over previous conflicting ~api ~ J. J. See, pro fessor of mathematics in tbe United theories, says G States navy and government astron omer at Mare Island, according to the ioclated Press. Not only are such “waves In the ether,’’ but even sur face tension, cohesion, adhesion, capil larity, chemical aflfinlty and exploslvi forces are shown, he asserts, to b< waves, and \thus tbe Internal mechan Ism of atoms, electrons and etherons lead to the wave theory as one of the final triumphs of science In 1927.’t Mystify everyone.
