No Fleas on Monkeys.

Perhaps the most surprising infor-
nation gathered with respect to IDEAS
is that monkeys have no fleas. This Is
an assertion that is commonly received
with establishment and incredulity,
but, says Howard Russell, the fore
most authority on fleas, healthy wild
monkeys are much too clean and &C.
tive to harbor fleas. and when they are
seen searching one anothers fur In
fashion familiar to all Of US 1t Is only
to clear their skin Of any particles OF
scurf and dirt.
1t may be mentioned, too, that only
one instance is on record where a flea
was found on reptile. This was on
brown snake which was captured near
Perth, in West Australia, and which
was probably derived from some small
mammal devoured by the snake. Tho
flea was firmly fixed between the scaly
plates of the reptile.
The history of the flea would seem
to 20 back many centuries, but ths
only fossil remains Of a flea that have
so far been found is q single insect in
a bit of Baltic amber. The flea is ad'
mirably preserved by its semi-transpar'
ent surroundings.

Central Longitudinal Line

I''middle West" an American writer
remarks that the territory so desig-

ltudinal line Of the United States
passes through Kansas not far from
Topeka. On one side Of the line, geo
graphically speaking, lies the true

the eastern side includes what Is Or
hinarily called the middle West"
whereas the geographical "middle
West" would cover the region OF the
Rocky mountains. The expression
originated on the eastern seaboard'
Just when or how 1t would perhaps be
dificult to discover, and seems In the
beginning to have been a patronizing
phrase indicating that, compared with
the older cultural condition Of the
states bordering the Atlantic, the near
or states toward the west were we'll

though nothing like so lacking In the
amenities as those younger states
which were growing up still nearer the

the development Of the nation, and the
term remains as convenient but rath'

many people think is really q geo

Columbus Tiny Vessels.

The largest of the three ships In
which Columbus made his first voyage,
the Santa Maria. was about ninety
feet long and twenty feet beam, and
was of about $50 tons burden. A single
ieck covered 1t throughout. 1t had
three masts, one supporting a TRAN
gular lateen sail, which was more pic
turesque than serviceable for an ocean
voyage. The vessel was about the size
Of one of our modern coasting schoon-
ers. The Pinta was somewhat smaller,
and the Nina, Spanish for baby, was
we'll named, being scarcely larger than
catboat, and not more than fifty
tens. The three vessels carried only 80
persons in all. Irving says 1t was not
for want of large vessels In the Span
ish port that those of Columbus were
80 small. He considered them better
adapted to voyages of discovery, as
they required but little depth of water
and could therefore more easily and
safely coast unknown shores and ex-
plore bays and rivers.
