Fleas, Flea Collecting and the

While there had been flea circuses.
and while some men and women had
affected them, downright scientific flea

member of the well-to-do Rothschilds.

some insisted upon finding it strange
that a rich man should willfully col
lect feas Such as had been on visits
to Italy, or had had other unsought OPP

of feas, thought over all that they
could remember of their experiences
and concluded that there was nothing
in it.

Recent investigations Of the effect of
artificial light upon vision have been
productive of several interesting theo-
ries concerning the apparent deleteri-
Gus action upon eyesight. Many have
long been certain that the modern
tendency to weak eyes is bound up
with artificial illuminants. These peo-
pie are further of the opinion that de-
fective vision is to an alarming extent
increasing. Thus the subject has re-
ceived a good deal of study.
One explanation advanced is that the
eye strain occasioned by artificial
lights Is due to a relatively large pro-
portion of the fnfra-red contained in
the spectrum Of our artificial sources
