Ragsdale, physics instructor. "Actual tests have shown that the Venus flytrap gives off a minute amount of electricity when it closes its petals and catches in sects. This may seem unbeliev able to niany persons, but it is an established fact in bio-physics." Eve-n though the current is in consequential in strength, it can definitely be measured. Standard equipmlent will not record such a small flow, but a special arrange inent enables a person to see that a type of circuit is in operation. A detector using a radio tube as its main part is the only means of shbowing the interesting peculiari ties of the flower that eats insects. Enclosed completely in the flowver after it brings its petals to gether, the insect is imprisoned and has no means of escape. It isl during the closing of the petals that the tiny electromotive force is created, Ragsdale declared.
