HAS A PEST OF FLEAS
Millions Found in Water at Edinburgh
Cause the Bonnie Scots to
Scratch

Special Cable to The Herald.
EDINBURGH, March 1O.-Edin-
burgh has been invaded by an army
of fleas millions in number.
They have arrived by water, or have,
at any rate. been found in the city's
supply, where they hop and swim about
to the CONSERVATION of the household
ers and to the alarm of the sanitary
officials.
The presence of this unprecedented
plague has been known to the officials
for some months, and suspected mere
and there by the citizens, but its full
extent has only just become generally
known, and has created great scare,
for the origin of the water fleas is
unknown, and a virulent outbreak of
typhoid fever at Musselburgh is COM
monty attributed to their presence in
the drinking water.
The fieas, although they can swim,
resemble the ordinary specimens OF
land fieas i'm appearance, but are white
in color and vary in size, some being
of microscopic dimensions and some as
large as the troublesome full grown
insect.
A member of the Edinburgh water
trust said on Saturday; THE insects
multiply very rapidly. I caught one
from the tap in my house. The nat
lying districts OF EdlnDurgn are SUI
fering most in this respect. In the
water trust offices there are samples
of the fleas in bottles
The chief breeding grounds of the
fleas seem to be the street ball hydrant
boxes, from which they have been re-
moved in shovelfuls. From the hy-
drants they have been carried by. the
water to the house cisterns, where
they multiply by thousands.
In the cisterns they are to be seen
Jumping and swimming about on the
surface of the water. In due course
they migrate through the taps to the
household drinking vessels.
Where they come from is a mystery,
but 1t is suspected that they originate
in the dust that collects in the street
hydrants. So long as the pressure of
water keeps the hydrant ball in posi-
ton there Is no entrance for them, but
when the pressure is low the ball falls,
and leaves an opening through which
dust finds its W -.
The ball hydrants are gradually be-
