many people. can be made so power
full by means Of a device that y

vessels from icebergs, and perhaps
determine the depth of the ocean
Scientists are working today to

said
The device when operated makes
a sound in the bow of the ship on
which 1t is installed. The echo
thrown back by the ocean bottom
Is caught by a receiver located aft
in the vessel. BY computing the
time between the sending and re.
ceiving of the sound, and the dis.
tance between the sender ami the
receiver, the depth of the ocean
can be measured.
In detecting icebergs, the sound
waves will be sent out so as TO

being directed toward the bottom

the receiver will give the exact

AS a Public Charge

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Formal
protests were made yesterday to
the immigration authorities against
the deportation on Wednesday OF
Miss Natalina Manzi. born In
America and privileged to remain

Miss Mary Bongiorni. Of Torring-
ton. Conn, an aunt Of the deport.

army and was killed at the battle
Of Gorizia.

Natalina was born here and had
her birth certificate to prove It, but

were excluded az likely to become

cluded In the order of deportation.
The mother and two daughters
were deported.
Miss Bongiorni wept yesterday
when she reached Ellis Island and
found that Natalina had been com.
PEELED to leave the land Of her
birth. Shaking with emotion she
said:
"A grievous wrong has been
