Whale's Radar Defence
Anybody have a schizophrenic whale on his hands? Or a paranoic porpoise? If so, the ma n to see is Dr W. N. Kellogg, of Florida .State Ilospital. He happens to be a whale psychologist Whaling companies, Government agencies and flshermen all consult him for the answer to such questions as what whales or porpoises are likely to do when they fin'd themselves in tic-klish situations.

Whales broadcast repeated sound pulses into the water and listen i for the refleeted echoes which warn them of nearby objects. $
