MANY KINDS OF FLEAs.
About 400 Different Species Are Known
to katuralists.

About 400 Different Species Are Known
to k~aturalists.
One Of the first naturalists who de-
voted themselves to watching ieas,
with such microscopes as were then
available, was Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch
man, who lived at the end Of theseven-
teenth century. Leeuwenhoek discoy-
cred that a small mite fed on the flea,
and 1t was this discovery which In.
spired Swift's familiar lines.
80, naturalists observe, a fea
Hath smaller 1ess that on him prey,
And these have smaller still to bite EN-.
And SO proceed al infinitum.
The iea's parasite, however, to be
accurate, Is not another flea or
even another insect. but Is a mite
classed among the sarcoptidae. Lin.
naeus, writing in 1853, described only
two species Of flea. The first, which
was the human flea, he rightly named
Pulex i~rritans. The second was the
chigoe OF hot countries. To this, on
account of Its burrowing habit, be
gave the name of Pulex~ penetrans. AT
the present day about 400 different
species Of 1eas have been described
and named by the small band Of scien,
ti6c men who have devoted themselves
to their study. Most Of these have
been discovered within quite recent
years, SO 1t is probable that many new
forms and varieties will be collected
and obseryed.-Harold Russell In Lon.

CAUGHT DOG
WITH RABBIT
IN ITS MOUTH
sseosei to tns EVENING NEWS.

~RcLF<t " tRs CT 1NtF0 ~ q.
South Amboy, July SIT is not
always smooth sailing on the Off
cial sea, either for the game war
dens or justices of the peace in Mid
dlesex county. The fish aud game
laws of New Jersey are quite siren
uous and there is no halfway place
at which the law will let either the
warden or justice stop IL the party
Is found guilty. The law does not
leave 1t to the discretion of the JUS
t1ce, but fixes the minimum penalty,
and usually men when proven guilty
of the violation of the game laws ac-
scept-the situation, make the best
terms they can, which is to pay the
penalty incurred.
Not so yesterday with the lady liv-
ing in the vicinity of South Amboy.
AS everyone knows who Is at all ia
miliar with the game laws, that
anyone letting their dog Or dogs run
ct large in the fields and woods
where rabbits abound at this season
of the year are liable to a penalty Of
$40. This lady in question has sew
eral dogs which very much annoyed
the warden by hunting rabbits out of
season. This year complaints be-
gan coming in again to the warden
about this lady's dogs. She was
warned by the warden Of the conse-
quences attending the violation of
the law. Yesterday the warden was
again notified In reference to the
aforesaid dogs. When he went
down on the lady's premises he
caught one of her dogs with a half
grown rabbit in it's mouth. The out
come of this violation of the law re-
suited in a complaint being lodged
with one of the local justices and a
warrant vas issued. The lady was
apprehended and brought before the
Justice.
To say this lady was stubborn
would be as near the truth as we
could tell 1t. The justice could do
no less than impose the penalty, as
the evidence warranted the same and
the lady either could not or would
not pay the penalty and as the jus
ticeA did not want to commit a wo-
man 10 Jail under these circum-
stapnes, he came to the conclusion
that he was up against 1t. The mat
ter was. adjusted for the present, as
the defendant was a female, by her
paying the costs and obligating her
self to pay the penalty In two weeks
from yesterday.

DRIVEN FROM
HOME BY FIRE
IN ROOSEVELT
Speciai to tie EVENING NEWS.

Roosevelt, July 8;-About 1
o'clock Wednesday morning Mr.. and
Mrs. Simon Simick and fam yliweer
Mrs. Simon Simick and family were
driven from their home in their
night clothes by a fire which de-
stroyed both the house and its con-
tents. The house was a small one
and a half story frame building sit
uate near the Casino off Washington
avenue.
The fire alarm was sounded at the
request of Fireman ]. ALBRIGHT, who
saw the blaze from Woodbridge av-
enue. Both companies responded
and found that all the hose Of both
companies was needed to enable
them to reach the fire, which was
probably 1,400 feet from the nearest
hydrant.
Although the Hudson and Middle
sex Telephone Company made a con
tract over a year ago with the bor-
ough council to install a fire alarm
system they have not done so. But
for Mr.. Albright's prompt action, the
alarm would in all probability not
have been sounded for ten or fifteen
minutes later. AS it was, the fire
laddies could only succeed in confn-
ing the flames to the place of origin.
The loss, about $1,400, is fully
covered by insurance. How the fire
originated is a mystery, as every
thing vas all right when the family
retired.
