Friday, May 10M957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Is That So? With most wild animals, Ufa or death is a matter of a spUt second. For some, speed is nec essary to escape a foe; for oth ers, it is necessary to pursue their prey and get food. Observe the rapidity wit i which a frog nails a fly. In this complex operation, the tongue must fly out, gather the fly on the sticky tip, and return to th-j mouth. How long does this whole performance take? It se' dom exceeds l-15th of a second That is, the act could be repeat ed 15 times while you said: "1001." The chameleon's tongue, too, is exteremely fast. Considering the length of over seven inches, it is faster than the frog's. It can shoot the tongue out ani bring back the fly in perhaps 1-1 0th of a second. The rattlesnake is no slouch when it comes to splitting sec onds. In killing its victim, i'. must shoot out its head from its cold body, bite- put pressure on the poison glands, inject the venom, and return the head to a defensive position yet ! the whole operation takes Jess than a half-second. Fast as this is, the rattle snake's foes can outmaneuver it. The feathered road-runner of our southwest can not only avoid most of the snake's vicious lun es, but between times, get in some killing pecks of its own. In- driving home his spur, the fighting cock is incredibly fast perhaps no human eye has ever truly witnessed that swift blow, completed within a frac tion of a second. Some idea of its tremendous speed can ba gathered from the fact that tha bird can drive the steel-mounted spur through a half-inch oat plank. J "Electric Range" j I in the Palm of 1 I Your Hand!

Th winter, wren's song consists ot 130 notes and lasts 15 seconds that averages about nine notes a second! For some of the blend ed trills, a piano player would be hard put to keep pace with the little bird whose throat is no larger than a matchstick. To be sure, the human is capable of some very fast aj tion: Take for example, the "draw" which is supposed to bi one of the fastest of all learned human movements. The average time to pull a gun from a hoi ster and hit a target ten yards away takes about 1 2-3 seconds. To be sure there are men wh are faster on the draw one of the all-time greats of our American frontier was Chaun cey Thomas and he was timeu at pulling his belt gun and hit ting a target ten yards away in three-fifths of a second. That's fast. But take some of man's un conscious reactions. The eye, for example, can blink within l-40th of a second. A sneeze rareiy lasts more than l-10th of a sec ond, and the droplets are shot out at a speed of about 152 fe;t a second that's more then 100 miles an hour. Boxer's Fist Fast In the last few inches, a box er's fist may travel at 40 miles an hour. How does this compare with a wild animal's spring? From a standing start, it is estimated that the leopard can cover 15 yards within a half second. Yet, even at this speed, the victim is seldom caught "flat on its feet." In fact, from the time the leopard begins his leap until the time he hits his calculated mark, the victim may be sever al yards away! Yet, there is one animal perhaps the fastest of all four footed mammals at a short dis tance, the cheetah. It can cove 103feet in one second! That if 70 miles an hour. Man, at maxi mum speed, during the 100-ya.d dash, reaches about 24V4 miles an hour.
