Will you please tell me through your |
Inquiry Department whether there are any |
trained fleas on exhibition anywhere? In |
fact. tell me all you can about such.
Very truly, Mrs. NJ. r. W.
In the early spring there was a trained |
ftea circus in n theater on Pennsylvania
avenue. near Seventh street, which re-
mained a week. The little insects were
trained in many tricks. such as riding
In carriage, tnxing, doing acrobatic
stunts. and sitting at table, eating. I
was told at the time that the training
required infinite patience and skill. and
that the owner Of the circus valued the
feas at several thousand dollars. Train
ed flea circuses have becn popular in
England for MANY years, but they are a
novelty in this country. A Western man
told me that the idea of training fieas
originated in the mind of a convict in a
foreign prison who spent his time teach
ing his little visitors to do tricks of va
rious sorts anS exhibited them upon re-
gaining his freedom.
