"A NOVEL DOG
WHISTLE

In Germany, dogs are employed
extensively by the police, but
the problem arose how to call or
whistle for them without warning
a suspect being pursued, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. A
solution was reached by testing
the dogs ears.
It was found that they can de-
tect sounds above the audibility
limit Of the human organ. Patrol
men were therefore equipped with
whistles that produce notes totally
inaudible to the human ear but
which can be heard distinctly by
the dogs. A silent" signal sys-
tenn was developed for giving them
orders.
