Arctic Fox.

Special Cable Despatch to TIRE Sun.
LONDON. July 25.--There is one form of
Arctic exploration little known to the gem
eral public. The history Of famous Polar
expeditions. the trials OF the gallant ex-
plorers. and tho large sums expended in
fitting out and maintaining vessels is news
familiar 10 all. but the hunt for the Polar
flea is not 80 well known as il deserves to be.
More than year ago the Hon. Charles
Rothschild commissioned the Arctic sailing
whaler Forget Me-Not to hunt for the
Polar flea, The hunt was apparently futile.
for MIR. Rothschild now offers a reward,
according TO the Daily Express, OF fl 600
for the Arctic fox flea. to add to the COL
lection of those insects in the famous 70
illogical museum in Tring Park. where
already there are thousands OF fleas which
have been obtained from birds and beasts
in all parts OF the world. II seems that
the flea Of tn b Attic fox is TO flea fanciers
what the egg Of the great aux is to collec-
tors of birds eggs. for only two perfect
specimens are known to exist in the collec-
tions
In addition TO the reward referred TO.
Mr.. Rothschild has again fitted out the
Forget Me-Not, which is already at work
looking for the flea.
