a Scientists Dig Into Effects of ~ High Altitudes

Check Reaction Of Human Senses

By ROY L. WARREN AVIATORS and mountain climbers long ago noticed that seeing, hearing and the sense of taste were changed in high altitudes. : Now science is trying to find out how much and why. - The influence is not’ all to the bad, but scientists know that the senses react differently when they are high above sea level. ® = ” 2 AT THE altitude of 14,000 feet, scientific researchers have found out that certain colors seem to appear more vivid than they do in low lands. Other hues seem to lose their brightness. This fact makes it necessary to introduce corrections in observations made by aviators. It also has been learned that at high altitudes new and peculiar taste sensations occur. Some people find ‘that certain foods, such as meat, do not taste so

bad side of the ledger, however. At high altitudes people freeze at a much higher temperature than they do at low levels. In fact, the danger from freezing occurs in low altitudes only at very cold temperatures. One explanation may be, scientists say, that the process of freezing differs when the pressure of the air is decreased.

How you react to people and circumstances is important. If you laugh off an unpleasant experience you ean often stop it| from causing you trouble. If you worry and fret about it, you magnify the experience out of its true proportions and it becomes worse than it is.
