fever in New Orleans, for ex-
ample, has been wholly attributable to one species
of mosquito Without this insect, indeed there
be yellow fever-a disease which for centuries
has been scourge of the Tropics, destroying
many thousands of lives annually In earlier
severity-the mosquitoes being brought by ships
from infected ports, probab1y-and one oc-
casion about hundred years ago it wiped
out large fraction of the population of Phla-
delphia Only within the last half-dozen years
have come to know the cause of the mischief
and to recognize the deadly enemy in the Stegomya
fasciata, which is sole carrier of the germs of
the disease.
Unfortunately, the disease carrying insects-at
all events, the worst of them-are the habitual
companions of man, and have been such ever since
prehistoric times. The distribution of mosquitoes

ships, railroads and other means of transportation
which have furnished Flies unquestionably

invited but ever-present house guest the rat,
harbors certain kind of flea which is more than
suspected of being chiefly instrumental in the spread
of the dreaded bubonic plague, otherwise known
as the black DEATH.
This particular flea was discovered first in Egypt,
and that account named PatIex cheopiS,
after the builder of the great pyramid but it has
since been found to be pentfully distributed among
wharf and house rats all over the Tropics. Unlike
the ordinary rat-ea it readily transfers it's atten-

les of the plague rats as well people die of it
by thousands fact which has naturally led to
inquiry to the part played by the rodents in the
spread of the maady- The investigation is still
in progress; but it has already been proved
beyond peradventure that the flea in question,
taken from infected rat, is able to transmit
the malady.
In London there dwells a man of high scientific
attainments, Charles Rothschild. who has the
greatest collection of 1eas in the world-number-

much as five thousand dollars for single rare
