gineers reports Bill Wolf, outdoor
writer and naturalist.
Some of these creatures, who long
ago anticipated many of our most
modern skills. wear feathers, some
are clad in fur. others possess scales
or armor plate and some wear
nothing much at all.
These outdoor technicians are all
interesting 10 observe. There is no
doubt that human beings learned
from them and copied many of their
mechanical and other devices.
For instance. watch that dragon

for its purpose in life. This one
insect anticipated the air plane, hell

sion.
Sometime. when hunting in Octo-

the earth's first balloonists and
parachutists .. common spiders,
which often travel hundreds of
miles before alighting.
Many Of the military sciences

tons OF nature. Tina latest model
tanks were probably more efficient

engineers studied the turtle. We are
all acquainted with the skunk's
