BLAME FLEAs FOR REBELLION

Mexico City.-Following q line of
reasoning. based upon many years of
experience. scientists announce that
the real cause of the revolutionary
fever in Latin-American republics is
not the desire for glory on the battle
iield. but Is lodged in the ever-present
flea. 1t is asserted that sleep. undis-
turbed by ravages of parasites. Is
practically unknown In Mexico, and
the states further south. For this rea.
son, entomologists contend that the
explosive temperament of the aver
age Latin-American is in part. II not
wholly. due to the fact that restful
slumber departed from the country
long before the conquest. The scien,
lists assert that no nation can be
great whose sleep Is broken into fit-
full snoozes. The average Mexican Is
certain to arise in the morning nur-
sing a spirit of murder In his heart
because his nightly visitants have un.
dermined his chivalry until he is un.
consciously transformed into fend
incarnate. especially II brought under
the influence of Zapata, the so-called
Atilla of the South Americans liv.
ing in Mexican territory readily sub
scribe to this theory. as woeful ex'
perience has taught them that the
habitual loss of sleep is not conduc-
i've to the higher life. One of the po-
litical slogans OF the successful party
in the future will be that the flea
and all his tribe must go before peace
reigns again"

him. he would make the most terrible
noise, but nowadays, unable to give
vent to his feelings thus, he claws

out with bis fists. though the intru-
ders may be one hundred yards or
more away
But the most remarkable perform
ance takeG effect after breakfast. Day
after day, year in and year out, no
matter what the weather is like. the
unfortunate old man rushes stark
naked out of the room, down the cor

to a chair. 1t is always the same
chair Once IT was removed and the
prince fell down In one OF his oftre
curing fits. Seated on the chair he
dresses himself slowly, being general,
ly presentable by midday. The rest
of the day is spent within circle
of four or five square yards. The
prince never moves further away than
that from the chair. Round AMI round
he walks. sharing his meals with the
birds
He takes great delight in smashing
all the crockery each day At p m.
is time for bed. A servant appears
and that is enough. Fighting the
imaginary foe, the old man rushes of
to- his room and locks the door
