1t will undoubtedly be possible TO get
these located on the charts from aero

curacy necessary for the navigator"
How 10 Photograph Rocks.
Where 1t is desired to locate dan
gers to navigation by aero-photo-
graphs taken at low tide this can be
done, so Col. Jones points out, by
stationing two or three small boats
within the area to be dealt with-the
boats, of course. being anchored in
positions which have been carefully
determined by triangulation from fixed
stations ashore. In this way the pic
lures, while of watery waste, so to
speak, can be referred at once by rea-
son of the marker craft to points on
land-thus definitely establishing the
location OF the obstruction hidden at
high tide. The Colonel, however, does
not desire to convey the impression
that .aeroplane photography will
supersede the usual methods OF hydro
graphic surveying. He is convinced
that this new aid will supplement ex-
istlng procedures by making 1t pos
sible to discover channels running
through mud flats and to reveal coral
heads, SHOALS and other dangers to
navigation close to the surface OF the
water which. even so, are likely to be
missed during the ordinary manner Of
carrying out photographic survey.
The sun., 1919-09-28

One of the most toilsome phases of
topographic surveying is the measur-
ing of different levels for the purpose
of tracing the changing contours of
the lands surface at various eleva-
tons. These concentric lines on a
map, to one familiar with map read
ing. indicate instantly not only
changes of elevation but reveal the
valleys and other gradients which
point out the easiest routes for con-
templated roads and railways. These
contours are determined by painstak-
ing measurements made with transits
and are the result of intimate touch
with the terrain. A contoured map
must be of a high degree of accuracy,
for otherwise 1t would be of little
value to highway engineers and to
those engaged in irrigation projects or
water power developments. 1t is not
now clear that aerophotography has
yet reached a stage of evolution that
would afford reliable data for the
preparation of contoured maps.
Col. Jones, however has suggested
that this difficulty might be overcome
if a stereoscopic method of picture
taxing were resorted to. That is TO
say. photographs would be made

woods are removed or grow over what
were vacant fields at the time the map
was made, and all of these changes
should be shown for the use of the
mariner" The navigator has no other
way OF identifying his position speedily
when he is blown close to the coast or
suddenly finds himself near to the
shore when the fog lifts. These topo-
graphic details serve to reveal his ex-
act whereabouts. and it is therefore es-
sential that the information on mis-
charts should be kept up to date. How
can this much desired revision be made
without entailing .wellnigh prohibitive
expense and the Consumption of too
much time? Col. Jones answers this
query in the following manner:
More Work for the Planes,
From the experience of the engi-
neers of the Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey the revision of an area that does
not need comforting is almost as ex-
pensive and takes almost as much
time as the original survey. for 1t is
necessary to make a test OF the posi-
ton of each feature. 1t Is here that
the aeroplane will be of the greatest
service for If a portion OF the shore
line should be inspected with a view
to learning whether the map of II

distorted in shape and be structurally
weak"
To the end that there should exist
this fundamental topographic net
work, the United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey has interlaced the
length and breadth of the country
with arcs of latitude and longitude.
Further. it has established in the in
terror of the nation more than 10000
miles of the highest grade levelling
and has planted in excess of 10000
precise dwelling bench marks, whose
attitudes above the sea are known
within a small fraction of a foot
There are besides many thousands of
miles of levelling of less precision but
of sufficient accuracy for the immedi-
ate control Of topographic surveys
Thus we have available fabric, so to
speak, upon which to lay the data
that may be obtained from pictures
taken from flying machines.
Normally, the characteristic fea-
lures of any given area are plotted in
conventional symbols upon sheets of
paper tackled upon the plane tables of
the field workers. Before taking these
sheets into the open the topographer
places upon them certain control
points. Then, in the presence of the
terrain to be recorded, the expert fills
in the spaces between these points
with groups of different symbols,
which he arranges agreeably to the
forms and masses of standing timber,
rocks, flowing streams and the like
All of this requires a practiced eye,
patience and due regard to a faithful
Interpretation of physical circum-
stances as they lie outspread before
the observer. It calls for no stretch
| of the imagination to realize how
much more rapidly this reconnois-
sance, this registering, can be done by
means of a camera operated from an
airplane and the characteristic fea-
lures subsequently translated in terms
OF the accepted symbols.

Jones says: For the purpose of
making an accurate large scale con-
toured map, l am satisfied that air
plane photographs undoubtedly can
supplement the usual surveying meth
DDS but cannot supplant them en-
tirely. Such a map should be on a
scale of 100000, /. e., one foot on the
map equalling $4,000 feet on the
ground, and the distance between con-
troll points on the opposite edges of
the area of a map should be correct
within about one part in 10000. The
only method by which this can be
accomplished is that of triangulation
and transit and tape traverse"
Explaining these terms, the Colonel
continues: THE control, that is tri-
angulation and traverse, bears the
same relation to the topographic map

original map would enable one to To-
cate very definitely each area within
which there are new features or where
old ones have changed. 1t is believed
that in most cases the details on an
aeroplane photograph could be placed
on the map from the photograph with
all OF the accuracy that is needed in
the topography shown on coast charts.
1T may be possible that an aero
plane photograph will indicate sub
merged rocks or other dangers that
are close to the surface of the water.
1t would be question of differences
in shade in the photograph. If such
a detection of danger can be made
then one must be very cautious to
make the photographs only on per-
fectly clear days. Otherwise the cloud
passing over makes its shadow on
the water which might show on the
photograph and cause uncertainty as
to whether the spot is a cloud or an
actual obstruction" Further, this ex-
pert tells us: "There are many hun
dreds of square miles of area along
the coast that consist OF salt marshes
with many streams of little or no i'm
portance, but which should be shown
in their proper relation to other topo-
graphic features. These marshes can
be photographed from aeroplanes, and
the streams running through them
would probably be shown in such a
way that they could be fitted into the
map from the photograph. Here might

are likely to become a recognized
economic class in consequence of the
improved technique and wider knowl-
edge concerning the operation which
have resulted from study and expert
ment by American surgeons during the
war. Only five years ago the trans
fusion of blood was rare operation
resorted to only as last resort. At
the army hospitals in France, in spite
of the difficulties inherent in the con-
ditions under which they worked. it
became almost commonplace.
Two discoveries, both made by
Americans, have served to overcome
the difficulties formerly encountered in
the transfer of blood from one person
to another and to explain the failures
which sometimes marked the attempt
in the earlier years of its history.
The first discovery was that mixing
the blood with a suitable solution of
citrate OF sodium prevented the ten
dency OF the blood to clot'immediately
and did not prevent the recipient from
Obtaining all the benefits OF the trans
fusion. This CLOTHING tendency of the
blood had been previously overcome to
some extent by using a vessel coated
with paraffine. a method which at least
delayed the CLOTHING, but is not abso-
lutely certain and presents technical
difficulties even in practised hands.
The second and even more important

discovery made about the same time,
also by American research students,
was that the blood of certain indiyidu-
ais will not mix with that of others,
but instead that the fluid part of the
one type of blood attacks and DESTROYS
the corpuscles of the other. The usual
effect of this reaction was simply the
destruction of Me corpuscles of the
transfused blood, but occasionally the
effect was so violent that the small
amount of blood given was enough to
destroy the corpuscles of the recipient
with fatal consequences.
1t was found possible to classify
individuals into four groups which
exist In constant proportions. OF these.
the smallest group, comprising about
l per cent, cannot give blood to any
except persons of their own group, al
though they may safely be given any
blood. The second and largest group.
comprising a. per cent, possess blood
which may be given to any one with
out bad effects. The other two groups.
OF 10 and 40 per cent, respectively, are
mutually antagonistic; that is. their
blood can only be given safely to the
members OF their own group or of the
first group.
The immediate effect of blood trans
fusion on a patient dying from loss OF
blood is most startling. Within ten
minutes of beginning the TRANSMISSION
the patient shows signs of returning
to life. his breathing from series of
deep signs becomes normal, his pulse
strengthens and his gray face regains
its natural color. In the hospitals back

But even apart from the work Of
featuring contours. aero photography
has potentially splendid scope for ser.
vice. Col. Jones is confident that on
the highest grade of Topographic maps
pictures taken from the air can be
used to a large degree in revising and
bringing up to date maps of that char
acter already extant. AS he says;
Let us suppose that we have before
us Topographic map made by the
United States Geological Survey ter
years ago, and let 1t be supposed
that this map at the time it was made
was absolutely perfect. In the ten
years since 1t is reasonably certain
that some changes have been wrought
by the works of man. 1t is improb.
able that natural features would have
changed, such as streams, woods and
hills, during such a short perikd. We
may assume that new roads have been
made, old buildings have been torn
down or have been burned, and that
new ones have been erected. that
wooded areas have been cleared, and
that brush or young trees may now be
on areas that were bare at the time
that the original survey was made. In
order to test such map and to learn
whether it was up to date, it would 10

send a surveyor into the field to 60
over the area in great detail. on
course, an inspection could be made
by driving over the country, but many

method of inspection.
How much simpler and more rel!'
able il would be to send an aeroplan9
over the area in question and make
series of photographs. These photo
graphs would sheE at a glance tho
exact areas where changes in the fea'
lures had occurreSl. and II the changes
were not too complicated it is probable
that we would be able to place the new
features on the map directly from the
photographs. The process would be
TO At in the now features between m
changed old features which, OF course
would also be shown on the photo
graphs"
The art of this form of surveying Is
undoubtedly, in its infancy, but even
so, II has reached a degree of develop
ment that makes 1t of present yalls
and promises to be Of greater aid
in the years to come. Instead Of spy
