E. Batault, life-long student of bird behavior. A bird's muscles are larger and stronger in proportion than the mus cles of animals which do not fly, but Doctor Batault says there Is no proof that this difference is great enough' to Justify the conventional flight the ories. Gliding flight is easy to ex plain, on the same basis of taking advantage of air currents as is used by human aviators, but this does not account for abilities of birds to do many things Inexplicable by gliding; for example, to rise in still air. Doctor Batault's new theory Is \hat the feathers of a bird's moving ling create a continual stream of air backward along the wing* surface, like the exhaust gases of an airplane engine or the gaseous discharge of a rocket The forward reaction ere* ated by this he believes to be the force that drives the bird ahead. Calculations of the muscular force necessary require forces much small er than those needed by the conven tional theories and more In line with what a bird's muscles actually pro duce.
