INSURANCE AGAINST RIOTING.

Lloyd's has q curious way Of rejecting IN
it's business what is attracting most atten-
ton in the London papers. Last week there
we're inquiries for war rates, not on a large
scale, but sufficiently numerous to show hat
the Balkan crisis had cast it's shadow over
the shipowning world. This week it is I'M
employment which is bringing grist to the
mill. Infiammatory speeches by politicians
appear to have thoroughly frightened shop
and restaurant keepers in the West-end, and
premises are being covered against direct
damage lone by strikers, rioters, or the I'M
employed. The premiums asked are not large,
but under", ritrrs insist that the whole build
ing3 snail be covered, not merely specltc
portions which are considered most liable to
attack, and only direct injury to property
can be considered. Another example OF topl-
cal business is contained in q telegram from
New York to q broker asking at what rate
the risk of Mr.. Bry an's successful candida
ture in the American Presidential election
could be insured against. A certain amount
was placed at 20 guineas, but London under
writer's, apparently, hardly consider the pre-,
MUM satisfying, and 25 guineas has since
been quoted.-IInaeS 23r0 Oct.

INSECT NOTES.
The SIPHoNAPTERA OR FLEAs.
(A0ricultural Neacsl. /.

"a QrlcttUFdG Ae3cS).
The small insects known MS heas are blood
sucking parasites which were until recently
classified as a family of Diptera. OF late
years, they have more often been given the
rank of a natural order under the name of
Sipbonap era. bout $50 species are known,
aud these are parasites on man, and on dogs,
cats, and fowls among the domestic animals,
and on rats and q number of other Wild
animals.
The heas are wingless the body is com
pressed laterally the mouth parts are adap-
ted for piercing and blood-sucking. The
hind pair Of legs are developed specially for
jumping.
The head of the feas is small, and the
body is set with stiff hairs. The larvae are
small, slender and footless, but on account
Of the shape of the head, are more like bee
tie grubs than the maggots OF the Diptera.
Most people are familiar with the appear
ance of the adult feas, but very few know
the larvae. They seem to 1--we on dry We
getable dust and on organic waste matter,
and the length of life OF the larvae seems to
vary under different conditions. In the case
of the cat and dog flea, which is one of our
commonest species, it as been stated that
the larval stage varies from one to two weeks,
while the whole life cycle from the deposit
tior of the egg to the appearance. of'the
adult is sometimes completed III a fortnight.
The jigger flea (~Sarcopsyha penetrans) is
fairly commnn in the West Indies, and in
other tropical aud s%ubtroPieal places, This
is the flea which burrows into the skin. 1t
attacks many domestic animals, and is said
also to attack birds. These tieas attack mans
generally about the feet, and the swellings,
produced as a result of the irritation caused
by the insect and by the swelling of the
body of the flea in which the eggs are de-
v~eloping, are very painful, and sometimes
produce serious results. Whenever these
insects are discovered in the skin they should
be removed at once, and great care should
be exercised not to burst the body of the
insect. allowing the eggs to escape. (See
agricultural Meas, Vol. VI, p. 1909
The house flea (PuIer i~rritans( attacks
man, and is known in all parts of the world.

The explosion on board the Canadian Lin
er Sobo the other day was quite a serious al
fair. There were three deaths aud ten
wounded by the accident. The surgeons of
the steamships PARMA and 81. Croir, which
vessels were close at anchor, were quickly
on the scene and rendered valuable assist
lnce: 1t is thought that the accident was
caused through the lamp-trinmer, as it was
stored.

In some countries it is a serious pest. The
eggs of this insect are deposited in the dust
on the floors of houses. or under carpets,
mats, etc. The eggs of the cat and dog flea
(PuIe1 serratjceps) are deposited among the
hairs of an infested animal. These drop to
the floor and hatch there, and the larvae
live among the dust and organic particles
in the same way as the house flea.
A considerable amount Of interest attach
es to feas on account of the recent dlscov-
ery that these insects are responsible for the
transmission of plague. 1t has generally
been stated that the rat flea is the carrier Of
plague from the infected rat to the human
victim, but recent experiences seem to in
dictate that other species may be as much
concerned as the rat flea During the re-
cent occurrence of plague in San Francisco,
feas were collected in the plague laboratory
and hospital, and in the refugee camps.
The following statement is quoted from
an article Notes on Fleas collected on rat
and human hosts in San Francisco and else
where by r. w. Doane, Stanford University,
California, which appeared in the C00adia't
Entomo1ogist for August last =
"A study of these records shows that
L~nenopsuN0 cA50p1s, which is known as the
plague flea in countries where the disease
is epidemic, is we'll established in San Fran
cisco, and is spreading to neighbouring CT
ties. Doubtless q search would reveal it in
many localities It is interesting to note
that out of the 672 tleas taken from lu-
man beings, some of them persons who were
sick, or had died of the plague, from atten-
dants in the hospitals, and from men en-
gagged in catching the rats, not a single
LoemopsyUo cheopis was found. On the
other hand, Putec i~rritanS, which is the
most common of the human feas, has been
found quite abundantly on rats. One lot
sent from DR. Rucker contained elghty-one
specimens Of II. i~rit0ns, and no other spe-
cies. These were collected from eighteen
rats taken in houses and sewers in infested
districts
In view of the fact that plague is now
known 10 occur in the American tropics,
great care should be taken to prevent tieas
from becoming too numerous in houses. The
free use of pyrethrum on dogs and cats, and
on the floors, especially where these animals
sleep, would be very useful in this CON
nexion. Floors should be frequently and
thoroughly swept, carpets and rugs should
be taken out and aired AMI beaten at fire.
Quent intervals. In q recent number of the
agricultural Weacs (Vol. VII, p. 49, two
flea remedies are given. In one of these
the free use of pulverised alum is recon-
mended, aud in the other the use of soap
suds in a plate on the floor, with a flame
burning in the middle. The lame attracts
the fIeas, and they fall into the soap suds
and are Killed.

A Barbadian COW, which had just given
birth to it's third calf, was in August last
