THE JUMPING FLEA
The jumping powers of fleas
hare been much exaggerated, accor
ding to a bulletin on these insects
recently issued by the United Sta
ges department of agriculture.
The species known as the human
flea is probably the best jumper.
According to Mitzmain, the max
mum horizontal distance this species
can jump 13 inches, and the maxi
mum vertical distance less than
eight inches.
The question of a flea’s jumping
powers is of importance In con
nection with the spread of bubonic
plague and other diseases of which
this insect is the carrier. The In
dian Plague Commision, which has
investigated the habits of the In
dian rat flea, finds its maximum
horizontal jump to be only five
inches, while Mitzmain records the
maximum height to which it can
jump as three and one eigth inches.
One species of flea, the "stick
tight,” is nearly incapable of jump
ing.

BOARDS TRAIN WHILE ASLEEP;
MARINETTE, Dec. 16.—A dream
that her three small sisters were
burning to death in an orphanage
at Green Bay is believed by physi
cians to have caused the wander
ings of Maria Behan. 18- year-old
Miss, who returned here wrile police
in northern Wisconsin and Michl
gan were searching for her.
“ I could no* rest during the
night.”snid the girl, "I saw my sis
ters dying in the flames. The
called to me, and I dreamed I war
about to save them. The nex.
thing I knew was when I heard
some one call ‘Green Ba\x’ Ther
I awoke and found myself on the
train entering Green Bay.”

LLOYD GEORGE’S BONNET
(Harper’s Bazar)
Lloyd George has evidently tak
en in good part the suggestion as
well as the present made him at a
recent munitions debate. The Welsh
fighter has a keen sense of humor
in spite of his job. It was a
brother speaker. I believe, who
handed him an anti-aricraft shell,
with the advice to take It as his
crest with the motto, “Shells or
shell out.” and now the minister has
the two-inch shell fitted with sil
ver wings, attached to the bonnet
of his motor car. Never was a
bonnet more appropriately trimmed
Incidently the British public hates
the Defence of the Realm Oct, and
thinks it is being trimmed daily,
not by George, but by the govern
ment. And all because the censors
neither fear nor conciliate the press.
Funny how sensitive governments
are.
A cartoon just published on the
topic is one of the hits of the sea
son. It depicts an American re
porter seated on a high fence look
ing at a naval review and calling
down to John Bull, who stands be
hind the fence, "Come up here.
John. Its fine! See everything!”
John replies sadly, ‘Td like to, but
they won’t let me. You see, I’m
only the proprietor.”
