EDUCATION OF THE FLEA.-Mr.
Bertolotto, the well known educator
of the flea, is now in New York ex-
hibiting his curious success in this
line. The insect he employs appear
to be the species Of flea common to
dogs. The first lesson, he says, is to
put the insect in small circular
glass box, where, by jumping and
knocking their heads against the
glass for day or two, the idea is f.
nally beaten into them that it is use
less to jump; and during the remain
der Of their natural lives, to-wit,
about eight months, they are content
to crawl. Having corrected their
intellects in regard to jumping, the
instructor now fastehs delicate pair
Of wire nippers to the middle part of
The flea's body; to the nippers any
desired form of miniature vehicle,
such wheelbarrow, a car, a wagon,
ETC., is attached, and the flea thus
aarnessed trots away with the load,

sr-on. He makes them perform 9th
Or curious duties, such as orchestra
playing, running, etc. 1t remains for
