The article examines whether animals use a hidden sense beyond the known five. It discusses navigation in birds and salmon, dog and cat homing, and the idea of a magnetic or orienting sense guiding behavior. It notes experiments and the potential to link perception to logical conclusions.
A U S Army Air Corps training method uses a camera obscura to photograph a simulated bombing run. Operators watch a reflected image of landscape and aircraft on paper to judge if a theoretical bomb drop would hit a designated target, using smoke and pistol flash as the surrogate explosion.
A London Tit Bits tale describes Dr. Arthur Little turning pig ears into glue and then producing silk filaments. After dyeing, weaving turned the material into a purse with gold and silver compartments, overcoming the old saying with scientific ingenuity.
Albert H. Borland of Gebo Wyoming invented a bed strap to hold sheets and blankets away from the body. The reinforced middle piece carries a hook under which the fabric is threaded through a buttonhole slit to keep coverings off the sleeper. The device lets a person use warm bedding without weight contact, aiding those with rheumatism burns or sensitive health needs.
An invention from Caldwell New Jersey by John C Moore Jr introduces a coaster for children with two wheels on a fork and a curved rear handle. A crossbar grip sits at the top while four holes in the fork allow height adjustment. A rocking pedal above the wheels increases balance challenge and sport.
The article explains how arid regions like Searles Lake in California left behind vast salt beds.
