Why Daddy Was Changed

1t was after his adventure WlIh
Johnnie Green that Daddy Long
legs neighbors frs, noticed some
thing queer about him.
They knew that he was not the
same. But strangely enough, no
two of them could agree as 70
what had changed him. Chircpy
Cricket said that he thought that
Daddy was wearing a new coat,
for his Goa tails seemed to flap
differently when he walked. Buster
Bumblebee claimed that Daddy
had bought himself a new hat
which tipped at an unusual angle.
And little Mrs. Ladybug insisted
that Daddy's odd look was due TO
nothing more or less than some
new checked trousers. She re
membered (she said) that he had
always worn striped ones before.
Those We're the opinions of only
three of Daddy's friends. 1t seem
ed as if everybody in Pleasant
Valley had his own idea about the
reason why Daddy was changed.
Naturally many disputes arose,
because everyone declared that his
own notion was the right one. And
at last several excited persons
went to old Mr.. Grow and asked
him o settle the trouble

Night after night the scientists studied
the behavior OF the bats which few In hum

ancient university buildings. They soon
observed that when the lights were turned
on the bats never dew against the globes

bats always lodged them with unerring

just enough to allow them TO pass through.
Still other experiments revealed the sur
prising fac. that even when a. bats eyes
were covered with wax Il could avoid OBJ
stacles placed in the room, such as threads
or dozen chairs placed irregularly The
bats never even grazed these obstacles
with the tips OF their wings.
It was also observed that the bats never
dashed themselves uselessly against the
window panes, as many other birds and
insects do. This showed that their peculiar
senses told them that the invisible glass
was in their way.

not due to keen eyesight, for they could

It was not reasonable to assume that
the bats powers were due to keenness Of
hearing. because for most sounds their
ears proved less acute than those Of dogs
and other animals. II was not scientific
to assume that they had a sixth sense not
understood ty man and not possessed by
other animals.
stili more intricate experiments showed
The Washington times., 1921-09-11

been found that the immunity Of bats from
collisions as they dart swiftly through the
darkness has nothing whatever to do with
their eyes. f.
The secret OF the sease and safety with
which bats find their way around in the
dark lies 10 the way their ears are attuned
to catch the echoes Of sounds produced by
their wings and other parts of their bodies.
As the bat flies about 1t is continually
emitting tiny sound waves too high to be
audible to the human ear, but of Just the
right pitch TO make an impression on it's
own peculiarly adjusted ears. Ordinary
sounds. such as dogs and other animc Is
readily detect, are wholly inaudible to the
bat, but It hears even the faintest echoes
Of the sounds made by Its own body. And
these sounds and their kchoes are, science
believes, probably audible only to bats.
When the bat draws near some obstacle
the sound waves produced by its body,
travelling on ahead and striking the wire
or wailor whatever II may be that bars the
way, are reflected back to the bats ears in
the form OF tiny echoes. Es%
From tho nature OF these echoes the bat
n able instantly TO judge the nature OF
the danger that lies ahead and its distance
away. and II shifts the course OF its fight
accordingly The echoes OF the sounds
made by fits own body stir the bat to suit
able action of one kind or another. Just as
the sound OF the traffic policeman's whistle
ina busy city street does the motorist.
Now science Is confident that It can
equip the wings Of aeroplanes and the en-
velopes OF dirigible balloons with inst'u.
ments which will duplicate, on an Inn
mensely larger scale, the sound-making
powers that insure the bats againts harm.
