MOTHS RADIOGRAMS.
Scientist Investigating Insects Means
OF Comm unication.

Moths and some other insects have
a very mysterious way OF communi-
eating with each other. The female
moth may be Gagged in scent and
sound proof box and yet she is able
10 summon the male moth without ap-
parent trouble. Entomologists have
been puzzled by this phenomenon for
a long time and It was recently sug-
gested that a system Of radio might
be used by the insects. Following
this suggestion q New York scientist
l.. {. +. Horle. started 10 investigate
the subject. Tho ingenious apparatus
lac employed and the results ne has
achieved although not conclusive are
highly Interesting
In watching moths and studying
their action scientists have noticed
the peculiar way IN which they use
their antennae. When the male is
some distance from the female It will
wave its antennae about first in this
direction and then in that as though
i were trying 70 locate the direction
