"A curious exhibition in London is a COM
pany of trained acrobatc feas. They draw lit
tie vehicles and turn wheels, but they seem to
do it under o uniform feeling Of disturbance
and apprehension, which is sufficient to occa-
sion the motions which produce the desired
effect The needed irritation is produced by
certain motion of the hand OF the proprietor Of
the Aeas. They are accustomed to feed OF his
hands ds-thatis, to suck his blood every morn
ing, but they do not seem to be greatly i'm
bued with confidence in him, and when he puts
his hand near them they GO into ecstacies Of
fright, which suffice to produce the effects
which the public admire. The fleas take o
very short time to train, and they live nine
months. Every night they are put to sleep in
wool, unless one OF them requires punishment,
in which case he is tied.to q post, and has to
walk round it like Q miil-horse. This tying is
one OF the greatest wonders or the exhibition.
The feas are all tied for the purposes OF their
work round the thin part Of their bodies. They
are tied with fine hairs or lengths of spun
glass. They do not jump except when trouble
some. Probably, like many humans, they have
had all the jump taken out Of them by the
fardels OF life.
