the occupation Of Wislok, on the Hun

Wislok probably was taken by that

Life Of a Flea.

Socrates asked how far flea could
jump, but the length of his life Is more
important than the length Of his jump.
1t is important because feas are bear
ers and disseminators Of various para
sites; thus, the rat-fiea of India is the
bearer Of the plague microbe. The
British rat-lea usually passes through
its development cycle in two or three
weeks; In ten days in warm, damp
weather. Gautier and Raybaud kept
one alive on human blood for 80 days.
Another lived for Al days in an ice
chamber without feeding. Dr. Viii.
liam Nicoll finds that q rat-flea can
live on an average about q week apart
from its host. The period Of survival
is longer at low temperature and in
the light; 1t Is shortened by excess
of dryness or by excess of moisture.
Very important, however, is the dis.
covery that the larvae and pupae may
survive in infected material (grain,
sawdust, brushings and SO on) for 90
long as year.
