I Live Animal To Make Space Trip In Missile Cone Miami, Fla. (UPD A live animal, probably a monkey, will make a 10,000-mile an hour trip through space in a Jupiter missile nose cone soon as part of the nation's man-in-space project, it has been disclosed. Maj. Gen. John D. Medaris, commander of the Army Ord nane Missile Command at Huntsville, Ala., said the crea ture would be sent up beyond the edge of the earth's atmos phere within 60 days. Orbit Not Expected Medaris said an effort to re cover the cone would be made so doctors could determine how well the animal with stood the space voyage. The animal-carrying Jupi ter is not expected to go into orbit like the Discoverer sa tellite fired last month. The Jupiter probably will travel straight along the Atlantic tracking range in a flight of about 20 minutes. The Army conducted a si milar experiment in a launch ing at Cape Canaveral last Dec. 13. A tiny squirrel monkey weighing less than one pound survived the 1,500-mile flight. But the monkey, named Little Old Reliable, was lost in the Atlantic when efforts to recover the Jupiter's nose cone were unsuccessful.

I haven't the slightest idea what they "who are about to be born" have to say to one 'another. But there is little doubt that they actually do con verse with one another in a strange and seemingly mean ingless "cheep" talk (the "talking eggs" I mean) and their "conversation" in a nest confuses me. ; It always happens but usu ally there is no human ear present to hear. We are too busy, we humans, to take the time to listen to the peculiar peeps, cheeps and chirps that are the tiny, faint indistinct voices of chickens or any other birds, just before they completely break out of their natal enclosures.. For weeks it has ben com pletely silent in the nest.' In side each fertile egg strange and uncanny things are hap pening. Liquids, separated by thin, lifeless membranes, are arranging and" organizing themselves ,into bones, feath ers, nerves, digestive systems W7 D is I Boxed Chocolates Lowney's fop quality chocolates in Mother's Day boxes.

At some certain , stage the solidified and organized li quids come to life. Now in side Jthe shell there, miracu lously occurs a living bird. A creiature endowed with all the instincts . and behavior patterns of its countless ances tors. ,, , Along with all its other in stincts, the one . predominant now is the urgency to escape from its limey enclosure and to "converse" with its nest mates. It must be so, for when the first egg pips and the tiny piece of shell falls away, leaving an opening to the outside world, a faint cheep issues from, the egg.. If one listens close, an an swering cheep comes from an other , egg, then another. In the nests of the wild birds there are usually but a few eggs. The first one that pips issues a cheep that is a "language" understood by its brothers and sisters; here there could be little confu sion. But take a hen's nest, or an occasion where artifi cial conditions are imposed by humans. This could tend to complicate the issue and create a "babble of tongues." Confusion A large number of eggs in an incubator, with hatching chickens unrelated to one an other, or in cases where tur key, duck or other eggs are included, would bring about confusion. The "language barrier would seem unsur mountable unless the lan guage of the unhatched and the about-to-be-hatched is a universal tongue. The first egg hatched, in either a nest or an incubator, might say: "I whammed my bill against the cover and I smelled fresh air." The un- pipped egg, right alongside, might reply with a cheep very r faint and indistinct because the chick here is still "out of this world," and say, "I've got to get out, it's awfully stuffy in here." , Looking at it from my hu man viewpoint,vthis may not be the conversational trend at all, but Of this much I am sure, every egg that-it about to be hatched; every bird about to be born, certainly "talks" to its nest-mates. The language of the "talking eggs" is a faint voice but a voice nontheless.
