Judge Franks is this week supervis- ing the work on Gale leyee road. Gravel is being hauled from Boughton, and as much as 24 loads per day is being put on this piece of road, which when completed probably about the latter part of next week, will be in better shape than at any time in it's history.
 Two weeks ago Judge Franks had delivered to Alabama and Taylor townships two new Russell Jr.. graders. There are now seven of these new graders at work over the county. and it is hoped to replace all the old graders with this newest type during next year. They are a big improvement over the old ones. and the road workers are very enthusiastic over them.

 The hiph nercentage of inefficiency of men, we'll as of machinery, results from their proneness to get of repair and from the failure to some part of the anatomy or the mechanism to function property

electrons are then attracted to the
the filament and plate electrodes with
in the tube. The circuit is completed.
If the temperature of the fllament is
kept constant by keeping the current
flowing through 1t from a separate
battery at constant value a certain
definite number of electrons are emit
ted every second. Just how many of
these electrons will be attracted to
the plate every second depends upon
the positive charge on the plate which
is supplied from the battery in the
plate circuit. That is, the plate cur
rent will. in this case, depend upon
the plate voltage which actually is the
voltage of the battery. There will be
an increase of plate current with an
increase of plate voltage (plate bat
terry voltage), but only up to the time
when all the electrons emitted by the
fllament are actually attracted over to
the plate as fast as they are emitted.
After this point Is reached there can
be no further increase of plate cur
rent with plate voltage, because cleo
irons cannot be attracted in any
greater number per second or other
unit of time. 1t is the number of
electrons actually reaching the plate
each second which determines the

when the electrons are attracted in
still increasing numbers, but, when
the increase is not so rapid and finally
ceases. This is the point when the
electrons are being attracted as fast
as they are emitted and is called the
"saturation point" The plate current
then ceases to increase with increas-
ing plate voltage when this saturation
point is reached. This particular value
of current is therefore called the sat

How Insects Talk.
But to return to the subject Of In
sects and the way in which they
talk. Scientists have long known
that the antennae or feelers OF ~
libsters. etc-are delicate sense or
gans and that the eyes. ears and
other sense organs Of these creatures
are of secondary Importance. Just
how these antennae were used or now
they served their owners was an un-
solved mystery. Some scientists
thought they acted more or less like
ears. others held that they conveyed
impressions to the creature by a
sense akin to smell, while still more
claimed they were literally feelers
and that through highly sensitive
nerves the creatures obtained i'm
pressions by feeling only.
All agreed. however. that without
their ant ,7nae insects and crusta-
ceans v almost as helpless as a
blind ar deaf man. Ants running
about in orderly professions and all
working tremendously together are a
neyer-ending source Of wonder. and
vet if an ants antennae are cut on he
seems to go crazy, running this way
and that. losing his way, failing to
recognize his fellows and utterly be-
reft of intelligence. Moreover, many
ants are stone blind. The army ants
of the tropics are of this nature. yet
there are no more wonderful creatures
or insects exhibiting greater intel
ligence than the army ant. II they
come to a hole or place too steep to
traverse. when on the march. they

To say that we may listen to the
conversation of insects sounds like
flight of the Imagination. But it is
fairly well established fact that not
only do insects talk to one another,
but they converse by vibratory waves
similar in nature to radio waves.
Scientists have actually managed to
record the minute waves. sent out by
insects. and. as some one jocosely re-
marked, We, too. may be able to listen
in on the gossip of ants OF grasshop-

If it is true that insects talk by
means of ether waves, is it not pos
sible that all other so-called dumb
animals do the same? Who can say?

are being made in the realms of mod

opened up undreamed OF fields for in
