A BURIED conductor, or several of them, running in the ground under the aerial, constitutes the best earth, but cannot "ways be conveniently provided. A good earth is a buried dustbin, water tank, or sheet of galvanised iron buried a full six feet deep, or where the ground is always moist. It is a good plan to solder on three stout copper wires in diffierent places and join these above ground to. the earth lead to receiver. All these underw und soldered joints should. be protected with paint, tar, or varnish of some kind ‘to prevent possible early disinectic.. Adopt a good earth sys: tem and use it alone. Do not connect to two separate earths at the same time, us each one will probably require i. different tuning.
