RADIO DEVICE HELPS
 OCEAN MAPPING SHIP
United States Coast and GeOdetic Survey Ship is Equipped With
 Latest Radio Appliances

Seattle, July 5.---Equipped with a radio position finder and sonic depth measurcr, the steamer Guide of the United States coast and Geodetc
 survey, which has recently entered
 upon the task of mapping the waters
 off the Pacific coast to depth of L.
 uO0 fathoms, was pronounced in the
 offices of the Survey here the most up-to-date vessel for her work in the
 world.
 The devices on the Guide grew out of cooperative efforts to combat the submarine in the world war, These efforts engaged the army, the navy and many American civilian electri- clans, The study has been continued since the war, particularly by the Coast Artillery corps Of the army. The Sound Laboratory of the Bureau of Standards developed the apparatus used by the Guide to determine her position.
 Knowledge of the transmission of sound gained in these efforts and ap- piled aboard the Guide enables her commander to determine her posi- ton and the depth of the water in her vicinity without leaving her radio room.
 To get the position of the Guide a small INT bomb is exploded astern 20 feet under the surface of the water. This is done electrically. The sound wave set in motion by the explosion travels In enlarging circles. When this wave reaches hydrophone Ca device GO feet under the surtat< of the water and about half a mile from shore. to which cable runs) the lydroidione sends signal ashore, and shore station automatically sends a radio signal 10 the Guide.
 Figuring from the speed of travel If the sound, Inc commander of the iuide quickly determines his distance 'ro mthe shore station. And deter mining his distance rom two stations le knows his position.
 The task taken up by the Guide. lnd on which she is io work in the i ummcr off Oregon and Washington | md in winter off California. was ! dropped in 1922 by the l.ydonia. i

 tive attitude of the government to-
 ward the Portuguese air force. and Its
 failure 10 assist to any great extent
 the officers engaged in the recent
 flight from Lisbon 10 Macao. is de-
 clared 10 have been the cause of a
 recent mutiny of 70 aviation officers. These men entrenchcd themselves in
 the Amadora aviation camp. near
 Lisbon. and for several days refused 10 surrender, although they were sur rounded by nearly 4.O00 troops
 The immediate cause of the mu- tiny was the dismissal of Major Quar- te as army aviation chef and the ap- pointment in his stead of Colonel Morai. Sarmento. whom the officers refused to recognize on the ground that his appointment had not bcenA sanctioned by parliament and was therefore illegal, The minister of war, Major Olavo, whose decree had removed Major Dnario. ordered the disaffected officers to present them- selves to Colonel Sarmento, but this they refused to do. and. with the men under their command, entrenched themselves and refused to surrender unless Major Olavn resigned Later the enlisted men were sent from the camp, the officers not wishing 10 in- ] ,olve them in responsibility for the l mutiny. t... --.-.-.
 Nearly 4,00o troops were rushed 10 the camp. which was surrounded. General Pedroso de Lima with other officers finally entered the camp un- armed and persuaded the mutineers 0 surrender. They were imprisoned pending court martial proceedings.
