British and other scientists have late

and infirm within twenty days after
its birth, although some fleas have
been known to live to be ninety days
old when especially well-fed. Up to
the fifteenth day Of its career the flea
is able to do a considerable amount
Of execution. After that length of
time it becomes rather sluggish and
Indifferent. These are important ad-
ditions to the literature of the f1ea'
It has long been known that the flea
is no respecter Of persons, Is, In fact
very p%romiscuous In its associations;
that it is extremely agile; that

FRENCH LEGION OF HONOR
Highly.Prized Decoration Which Every
Son of France Has the Ambi-
ton to Receive.

The first decorations of the Legion
of Honor, the famous French order OF
merit, were conferred in 1902 upon
military and civil officers who had dis
tinguished themselves under the con-
sulate. The order was founded May
10, 1902, by Napoleon, when he was
first consul. 1t consisted of various
grades, as grand crosses, grand ON
GERS, commanding officers and legion
aries, and was a reward for services
of merit. The order was confirmed by
Louis XVIII when the Bourbons were
returned to the throne a century ago.
and it has been continued, with neces'
sary changes in the constitution
through the reigns Of Charles X, Louis
Philippe, Napoleon III, and the second
and third republics. Many Americana
and British subjects and other for
eigners have received the decorations
Of the Legion Of Honor.
