For instances, we say "blind as a bat," and yet we know that bats can fly about at night and somehow "see" their way! Most tats do avoid bright sunlight and fly chiefly at dusk or night, but there are others that are active during the day. And even those who are active at night have pretty good seeing ability in daylight. How bats are able to fly in total darkness and not bump into anything that may be in their way, puzzled scientists for a Ions time.

Today, they believe they nave the answer. As the bats fly about they utter certain sounds or cries. These cries cannot be heard by human beings (they are not the same as the sounds a bat makes when it is captured or hurt, which humans can hear). According to the theory, heinwold on Bridge Play Some Hands Safe Even In A Tournament By ALFRED SHEINWOLD Tournament bridge players are polishing their same right now in some of the biggest regional tournaments of the calendar. And some of the things tournament players do would give a rubber bridge player a fierce pain in the stomach.

'South dealer North-South vulnerable NORTH KQ10 852 6 3 Q107 EAST 8 7 5 2 A 1 0 7 95 WEST 63 9 6 10872 9 6 5 2 8 3 UTH A 9 4 43 AQ4 A 4 South West North Pass. 1 Pass 2 4 All Pass Opening lead East 1 2 Pass East wins the first two tricks with high hearts and leads a third heart. Most tournament players would ruff the third heart and lead out three rounds of trumps in the hope of 'aking eleven tricks. This line of play would lose only the overtrick but also the contract itself. After South has ruffed once and drawn three rounds of trumps he is out of trumps.

East will get a trick with his last trump and will then take two hearts to collect a penalty of 200 points. Should Discard A good rubber bridge player would discard a club or a diamond on the three round of hearts (rather than ruff). If East leads a fourth heart, dummy can ruff and South keeps his four Regardless of the defense, South draws four rounds of trumps and makes his contract without any problems. The best tournament players would tackle the hand in the same way even though it is usually correct to play a tournament hand for everything that isn't nailed down. It is correct a play a hand safe if your contract is unusually good.

Even good players often find it difficult to reach a game contract with four trumps in declarer's hand and only three trumps in the dummy: When you get to such a contract and discover that nothing better is available, play the hand safe instead of trying for overtricks even in tournament play. DAILY QUESTION You have opened with one club, and partner has responded one heart. You hold: 4 A 9 4 4 3 A 4 A 4. What do you say? ANSWER: Bid 2-NT. This shows about 19 or 20 points with balanced distribution and strength in the unbid suits.

This is a better description of your hand than a rebid of one or two spades, the only alternatives. these "supersonic" sounds strike objects and are reflected back lo the bats, and in this way they are able to locate the objects. They are able to use the echoes to locate objects the way man uses radar. But this is different from radar which uses electromagnetic waves. The bats use sound waves, so this is called "sonar." The mere fact that bats fly makes them unusual in that they are the only mammals that can fly.

In fact, there are many unusual things connected with bals. There are more than 2,000 different kinds of bats and they are found in all the places of the world except in and near the polar regions. Also, bats have been around for quite a while. There are fossil remains of bats that show they were on earth more than 60 million years ago! The earliest known picture of a bat is in a tomb in Egypt. It was made about 4 thousand years ago.

And in ancient times people, believed that bats had powers of both good and evil and they were used as charms and in magic to keep misfortune away.

for a week, under an assumed name. He'd come here to testify a certain paintings attributed i ies. He a brought here by his friend a dealer, Pierre a- tisse, who'll Lyons give a one- man Miro show in November. The exhibit will include two huge bronze sculptures. Matisse will have to demolish his gallery's doors to be able to bring the sculptures in.

Yevgeni Yevtushenko admires Miro's works and arranged a meeting in Barcalo na. The Russian told Miro about reciting his poems to the monks at Monserrat, where, he said, he felt uneasy in the presence of these men who live without women. I took the Miros and the Matisses to Arthur, where the painter donned an Arthur mod cap and, from his seat, danced the rock 'n' roll numbers. Mrs. Miro beamed: "He hates noise--but this he loves." He said of the long-legged -models in miniskirts: "As an artist I can certify that the legs are well drawn--but of course, am not the creator." He was asked to write an inscription.

Before signing his name and affixing the star which is on all his canvases, he asked the others at the table: "Pleanse note the exact minute, the time, the place-and that you're witnessing me signing my name.
