Juan Fernandez is, of •course, more

former being the scene of Alexander

Device Explained.
The device• is extremely simple. It.'
consists of pates of bisinuth msua•rounil-
ed by a coil of insulated wire. When
a OSTrent of electricity passes through
the wire, a field of magnetic force Is
created, which acts en the bismuth
and :muses it to become sensitive
as either a detector ar ctxnpltfer of
radio waves. To protect the bismuth
from atmospheric corrosion, it is pro-
tected by a coating of-selpltnr.
