"He'd been more to home in New England," said Laban slily. The Skenks were from Massachusetts, the Swiggarts from Illinois. "There's a pit digged for such," continued Mrs. Tapper, ignoring the interruption, "a pit full o' brimstone and fire. Yes, sister, I will take one more slice of the ham. I never ate sweeter meat. Eastern, I presume, my dear?" "No, sister. Laban cured that ham.
It 'ud seem more nat'ral to be goin' up-along. I was nigh forgettin' I be comed away! Mrs. Tapper 'ull think I bain't a-comin' if I don't hurry up." This time he made up his mind to continue his journey without further interruptions, and very soon arrived at the end of the lane, and even at the third house on the right, where he was duly received by Mrs. Tapper.
The boys looked at the writing on their slips. They were all the same, and on each was inscribed: "The man who told me that the Patagonians were a friendly race is a traitor to science. I, Professor Simeon Sandburr, brand him a teller of untruths. For Professor Thomas Tapper, who told me about the fur-bearing pollywog of the South Polar seas, I have the warmest respect.
The professor, as he received the little slips of paper, scattered them into tiny bits and threw them overboard. "You are quite sure you have not been fooled also on the fur-bearing pollywog?" asked Frank. "Quite," replied the professor, solemnly. "Professor Tapper is one of our greatest savants." "But so was your friend who told you the Patagonians were a friendly tribe," argued Frank.
In practice the tapping was done automatically by a tapper which came into action the moment the coherer became conductive. He suggested that such discharges could possibly be used for signaling over long distances. Old timers may remember that about 50 years ago Russian amateurs used to send out a QSL card with a drawing of Popov and a caption which claimed that he was 'the inventor of radio'.
"I am quite sure that Professor Tapper could not have been mistaken, however." "Has Professor Tapper ever been in the South Polar regions?" asked Billy, seriously. "Why, no," admitted the professor; "but he has proved that there must be a fur-bearing pollywog down here." "In what manner has he been able to prove it?" asked Harry. "He has written three volumes about it.
An electrical tapper was also arranged in this circuit so that it would strike the tube a light blow after each long or short wave representing a dot or a dash had been received. Thus the particles were disarranged, ready to array themselves when the next wave came through the ether and so form the bridge over which the stronger local circuit could convey the signal.
Thomas Tapper have the incentives of both in their lesson hours. Her apartments on the Drive have the glory of sunlight all the long afternoons. Outside the Hudson shimmers in blue and gold; indoors all is harmonious and home-like.
In spite of his after-midnight pallor, in spite of his honorable scars of dissipation, it was his misfortune to be cursed with a smile that was a perpetual plea of "not guilty." "What can you expect?" an outspoken friend, who made a living as a wireless wire tapper, had once pointed out to him. "That smile of yours could open a safe. It could make a show girl give up money!
Each unit consists of three main parts the transmitting key; the receiving buzzer or tapper; the electric battery. One unit only is illustrated, but, as the other is an exact duplicate, the working of the system will be followed easily.
