RADIO IS APPLIED
!. TO NEW ALT|METER
DR.. Ross Gum Granted Pat
ent on Device Measuring
Altitude in Feet.
BY MARTIN coDEL.

Radio principles have been applied
70 the perfection of new aircraft alti-
meter designed to safeguard low alti-
tude flying and landing under all kinds
Of weather and visibility conditions, in
GLIDING the densest fogs. The nom
barometric altimeter is the invention of
DR.. Ross Gum, a young research
scientist of the United States Naval Re-
search Laboratory here and a patent
covering it was granted this week by
the United States Patent Office.
Thirty hours of actual test in an
Army Fokker and Navy torpedo
plane have served to convince expert
observers that the Gum altimeter will
indicate true height above ground up 70
100 feet. The inventor claims it can
be calibrated TO measure heights up to
500 feet. The device is not intended
to replace the barometric altimeter, but
1t is primarily means of preventing
accidents during those last few feet
that count most while flying low to a
landing.

igan graduate and former instructor at

Yale, has worked on the device for
the last five years. The granting Of
the patent is the fruition Of an idea
born and developed while he was doing
radio research for the Army Air Corps
at McCook Field, Ohio. He expects the
invention to go into commercial pro-
duction for installation on transport
planes very soon.
The Gum altimeter gives instanta-
neous readings of precise attitudes on
an instrument with a dial which Is set
in a planes instrument board and which
may be read In foot measurements. The
barometric altimeters now in common
use aboard aircraft are almost invari-
ably "set" to give the altitude above
the starting point of the plane or above
a particular sea level.
Inaccurate Near Earth.
The barometric altimeters are rela-
lively inaccurate at low attitudes and
are of very little aid in determining the
absolute position of plane with rela-
ton to uneven terrain, such as hills and
mountains or with respect to changing
sea level. The Gum altimeter, measur-
ing radio capacity, becomes more accu-
rate the closer the plane is to the sur
face. 1t will give warning of ground

cause a crash. 1t is particularly val
liable over water surfaces, which are
always highly deceptive to flyers.
The transmitter box weighs around
10 pounds, while the control box with
the indicator measures only six inches
at its widest The transmitter sends
out constant high-frequency oscilla-
ton of 100000 cycles per second
through an antenna fixed on the wings
like a strut or through conductor like
a rod or plate. These feed a balanced
circuit in the instrument in such a
manner that the circuit is affected by
the approach of any body. The planes
to earth may thus be measur-
ed with thorough accuracy.
The same principle is involved here

It is fair to assume that these people wore no
clothing, although some spindle weights found
indicate that they knew how to spin and prob
ably how to weave.
The carving of the idols illustrated a de-
velopment of art which would show that CEN
turtles had passed between the first rude carving
and the last masterpieces of art.
One of the most astonishing of the idols bears
a figure so strikingly and obviously elephantine
that it cannot be explained away. Not only
does the figure show trunk, but it also has
big; leaflike ears and the forward-bending knees
characteristic Of the elephants. There can be
no doubt whatever that the people who built
this temple and reached such heights of culture
in Panama in prehistoric times had either seen
elephants, domesticated some species of masto-
don or were in frequent communication with
the Orient
Vast quantities of pottery are found every
where. The graves are filled with it; masses Of
pottery surround every column and idol. In the
pottery it is easy to trace the evolution Of art
and taste. The lowest-from 10 to 20 feet be-
meath the present surfaces crude, with little
establishment, decorated, if at all, with simple
incised designs or rudely modelled forms Of ami
mails or human heads. Near the surface the
pottery is of quality and beauty unexcelled in
prehistoric American ceramic art The beauty,
coloring and motifs of Cocle pottery are the
= most surprising features of the culture. Some
pieces look as if they might have come from
Mexico, others are strikingly similar to ex-
amples from Ecuador Peru and Bolivia, but by
far the greater portion are distinct in every
way from anything hitherto known to arch
eologistS.
IRON the arrangement Of the temple it Is
evident that they were sun-worshipers, and
from the number and character Of the idols it
seems quite certain that they held many crea-
lures sacred, revered certain human beings, had
many dieties and believed in the plumed SER
pent-ged. The ceremonials of the Guaymi In
dians of Northern Panama seem to preserve

THAT vast population once lived there IS
proved by the immense number of burials,
the extensive villages and cities, the stone
monuments and pottery, all of which indicate
a highly cultured people that must have lived
there during many centuries, long before the
Mayas or early pre-Incans 1t seems as if
these are the remains of the most ancient race
of Central or South America The age at
which these people lived Is calculated by the
depth of deposit of soil since that culture
ceased to exist, and the decomposition of stone
work, which requires many ages to take place.
From to IL feet Of soil have piled up
since the abandonment Of this plain, which
must have required ages. It Is known that
no human beings lived there since Europeans
reached the Western World, so the very thin
layer of mold covering the topmost potsherds
is at least 400 years old. It seems fair to
conclude that no less than 1000 years were
required to form the deposits now covering
this civilization which must have developed
for hundreds of years before that.
The culture discovered beneath all this de-
post has been called "Coce," from the modern
name of the district and for lack of any other
name, as no written Inscriptions that can be
read have been found, so this people might
well be called the Great Unknown" Their
remains are scattered over an area of about 500
square miles, with villages, cities and temples.
The great central shrine might well be called
the Temple of Thousand Idols" for this

during the last five years. At first glance this
seems most unlikely place for human beings
to have lived for today it is sterile, wholly unfit
for agriculture, a waste, almost a wilderness.
Yet, when we dug down beneath the surface, we
found convincing evidence that these plains,
cut by rivers and brooks, once teemed with
q population that had made notable advances
in all the arts which we associate with civili-
cation.
The explanation of the wiping out of cities,
temples and palaces lies in the mass of VOL

directly to the towering volcano of Guacamayo,

depths. Steam and hot water are cast forth
from time to time from its fumeroles, giving

lying between two Of the larger rivers of the
district.
After clearing away the dense, thorny bush
and the debris of ages, above which only the
tops Of the gigantic pillars first appeared, the
plan of the temple became plain. Running
north, SOUTH east and west are rows of i'm
mense, hand-cut stone monuments, phallic
columns, placed in an almost geometrically
perfect quadrangle. In the northern row were
81 of these, spaced from 8 to IL feet apart,
extending due east and west hundred feet
east of these, and the same distance south,
were two immense basalt columns more than
Is feet tall and nearly 80 inches square.
hundred and fifty feet south of these, running
due north and SOUTH were 81 columns. Two
hundred and fifty feet south of these, directly
in line with them, were two more huge columns
matching the two mentioned. Three hundred
feet west of these was semi-circular row of
smaller columns, IS in number. Three hum
dred feet north of these and $50 feet from the
first row Of 81 columns were 81 others run
ming north and south.
The three rows of stone monuments with
the two corner groups, formed q quadrangle
approximately 800 by TOO feet in area, an open
court bounded by the great fooled phallic
columns of hard basalt, many of them elabo-
rately sculptured and painted in bright colors,
some of the pigment being still visible. Many
of the columns were is to 20 feet in length,
from 16 to 30 inches square, fooled and cut to
rectangular pentagonal, octagonal, cylindrical
or elliptical form and sometimes covered with
symbolic sculptures and glyphs apparently
characters of their unknown tongue.
These columns had been brought many miles
from quarry later discovered, showing that
the prehistoric men were masters of some
engineering skill to have transported them so
far across rivers and plains, although they
weighed tons
TNNUMERABLE stone images were found scat
tered through the temple area. They were
arranged like the columns, in regular rows,
running north and south with the faces to
the east. East of the groups Of q columns
were two rows of these stone images. Six
feet west Of these columns was second line
Of idols, chiefly of animal forms; feet west
of these, row of idols of human form; 80
feet west of these still another row of human
figures, and feet west of these another
row of animal figures
In the exact center of the area was great
stone column, nearly 20 feet tall, more than
feet square, wondrously carved. At its
base were four stone igures-one a man, an
other a woman and child, another jaguar,
the fourth a bird-probably symbolic of tho
four points of the compass -.
All of the human figures are depicted without
any clothing, but with elaborate headdresses.

HIGH SCHOOL COMES OUT
 OF ITS BATTING SLUMP
Crashes Through to If to Victory Over Lewis High of Southington- Entire Team Is Inspired by Beau. tifu Pitching of Linnehan - Opponents One Run Comes in Seventh Inning-Fourteen Players Used in Game-Play Two More This Week.

Inspired by the beautiful pitching of Linnehan substitute twirler. the New Britain High baseball team suddenly came out of its batting slump and crashed the ball to all corners of St. Mary's field yesterday afternoon to score 8 0ne-sided vic- tory over the Lewis High nine of Southington by Q 14 to 1 score. The locals. who previous to the game, had made but four hits in three games. found the offerings of Snow man for 12 safeties. including three doubles and g triple.
 With two hard encounters schedul- ed for the. weekend with Suffield and St. Thomas. Coach Cassidy de- cided to bank his fate oh Linnehan and his fondest hopes were realized as the substitute pitcher came through the battle with flying colors He allowed but five hits and sent nine men back to the bench via the strikeout route. He showed remark able control and was never in dan- ger. The only Southington run came :n the seventh inning when double and single resulted in Nelson crossing the plate.
 Behind this pitching. the locals could not be denied and the bats which had been practically silent since the beginning of the season, rang out with vengeance. It was a new experience for the locals and they more than made up for their previous games. Rooters of the Red & Gold are confident that the team has at last found itself and will an- rex many more victories before the curtains arc drawn for the season. Pushing over one run in the opening inning. the locals put the game in the bag in the second inning by sending five counters over the plat ter.
 They picked up run in the third and fifth innings and added six more tallies in the seventh and eighth to make the battle . complete walk away.
 The locals backed up their of- fensive attack with strong defense and only made two errors. Four teen men were given chance to show thelr wares in the game by Coach Cassidy.
 Potts. Schmarr and Partyka led their mates Tn batting, crashing out two hits apiece. Wesoly banged out the longest hit of the game. a three bagger. Nelson was the best bet for <ho 1ooorS yattSpo tv-o of h;u <a, r,.s five hits.
 Friday the locals win meet Suf- field Prep. here and will journey to Hartford Saturday for a return game with St. Thomas.
