THE CHAMPION FLEA.

The United States Department OF Agri.
culture has just carried out some inter.
esting experiments on the jumping
powers of fleas, and has published the
results In a special flea bulletin. The
greatest horizontal distance any flea can
jump Is now authoritatively given as IL
inches, and the greatest vertical distance
rather less than S inches; but it is irri-
tatlng to be told that the particular
species which can accomplish these per.
formances Is Pulex irritans-the elusiy,
insect which makes human beings its
hunting-grounds.
A couple of years ago, by the way.
there was what appeared to be a famine
in Puex irrltans. so far as London was
concerned, as Professor Mlnchin. the
president OF the Quekett Microsconlcal
Club. anxious to carry out certain ey-
pcriments. offered to pay Is a head for
London fleas. but failed to get n single
one. Eventually he obtained IAN ado-
quate supply" from one of the eastern
, counties, which shall be nameless. Pos
sibly the rural hunter was more expert
in trapping the insect than his London
confrere, which seems reasonable OK

LLOYD,S MISTY HISTORY

Now that Mr. McKenna is looking to
Lloyd's for substantial contribution to
the revenue from war profits, it is inter-
esting to recall that the grcatc3t mari.
time institution in the world is named
not after a flnanc!er or shipowner, but
after an humble coffee house keeper. or
Lloyd's history little is known beyond the
fact that he kept coffee-house In Lom-
bard street at the beginning OF the eight
zenith century, which from It's proximity
to the Royal Exchange came to be the
favorte assembling place OF tho under
writer's.
The first mention OF his house occurs
In poem, THE Wealthy Shopkeeper,"
published in 1900:
When to Lloyd's coffee house to go he
never fails
To read the letters and attend the sales
In ITO Steele dated some numbers of the
Tatler from Lloyd's and Addison also
makes mention OF the house in the Spec.
tator,--London Chronicle.

rescind the resolution, adopted last May,
to participate in the Panama inter-
denomnational missionary conference to

The Roman Catholic Church, through
its missions several months ago declined
the invitation to participate In lie
Panama conference because it believed
the plans of the conference were hostile
to the Roman Catholic Church.

able to reach n vote to-day only after
Ave hours Of controversy, much of II
heated, and marking the most turbulent
meeting the board ever held, according
to several of the other members

designations were: Bishop Reginald II
Weller. Fond Du Lac. Wis: Bishop G
Mott Williams. Ntrouette, Mich; Bishop
Alfred Harding. Washington, D. c.; the
Rev. Or. Selden P. Delany. Milwaukee
and the Rev. DIR. William r. Manning

WOMAN OSTRICH FARMER

Intcrcsting ana Pro.!tRbie.

In the About People" number Of the
November Woman's Home Companion
appears an interesting sketch Of Mrs.
William Tracy, who Is said to be the
only woman ostrich farmer in the United
states The following is an extract from
the article:
Mrs. Tracy keeps about a hundred Of
the long-legged birds on an alfalfa ranch
at Buttonwillow. California. not only TAX
ing care of them herself but also super
vlsing the preparation Of their plumes
FOR the market. 1t was in 1907 that Mrs
Tracy, reading that only four percent Of
the ostrich feathers used in this country
were of domestic production, decidad to
lay the foundations of her ranch by I'M
porting a pair of well-grown chicks from
Arizona They cost her five hundred
dollars. although a similar pair could now
be bought from one hundred dollars to
ed three hundred pounds apiece the en-
press bill added ffty-fve dollars to
the initial expense, But she found
little difficulty in rearing them in the
favorable climate of Kern county, the
birds requiring about as much care as
young chickens; and as the flock in
creased. the venture became decidedly
profitable.
Mrs Tracy says that an acre Of alfalfa
will keep four birds at an expense OF ten
dollars n year each, while the return for
feathers alone is from twenty five dol
lars to fifty dollars per bird. Adult
birds are about eight feet high. though
the talest can stretch themselves to ten
feet when they wish to look particularly
imposing. and they weigh from three
hundred TO four hundred pounds. Though
the male bird is rather vicious while
standing guard over his mate and the
nest during the days OF incubation. he
