how greatly the reception may be strengthened by connecting either the earth or aerial terminal to one of the wires of a fence or even to a nail driven into a tree, There are occasions when a length of covered wire may be attached to one of the terminals and laid on the ground or thrown over one of the branches of a tree.

A few receivers have a pair of terminals to which an additional loud speaker may normally be connected, but when the signals are not strong, or when one does not wish to disturb others, a pair of head telephones may be con- Lected to them.

The results may be improved by connecting the earth terminal of the set with the metal chassis, but on the other hand, this con- nection may tend to increase the interference.
