ALRPLAlVES M4YADOPT BATS PLAN
FOR FLYING WIIHOUTALD OFEYES

vided from another room by a grid
containing holes just large enough
tor the bat to fly through. These
nocturnal mammals never touched the
wires In their fight and were able
to fly through the holes with ease.
The experiment revealed the bats
secret. He emits a note, often audi
BILE to mans ears. This sound bounds
hack from any barrier, conveying
such acute information to his sensi-
tive ears that he can map out space
In front Of him without uncertainty.
Aeronautical experts believe that the
airplane may do tine same thing. In
struments are being devised which are
so sensitive that they will record
visibly and before the airmans eyes
the progressive increase of such
sounds as the ground or some object
that Is approached. 1t is said that
information would be supplied equally
in the dark or in mist, and since
sound travels faster than the fastest
plane. the warning would come in
plenty of time to avert a crash. The
fact that important radio expert
ments are now being conducted in
devising warning signal instru-
ments indicates that some progress
along this line is being made.
