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

perhaps no human eye has

blow, completed within a frac

its tremendous speed can ba

For that matter, a bird's son?
can be given very quickly. 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.

longest on record today, going

Longest previous session was
116 days in 1951.
The Senate faced its busiest
week end of the session. Full

when Sen. Phil Brady announced
