No F,.as On Monkeys.

Perhaps the most surprising infor.
nation gathered with respect to Aeas
10 that monkeys have no neas. This y
an assertion that IL commonly received
with astonishment and incredullty.
but, says Howard Russell, the fore
most authority ON feas. healthy wild
monkeys are much too clean and &C.
tive to harbor IDEAS, and when they are
seen searching one nnother's fur In 4
fashion familiar to all of US 1t il only
to clear their skin of any particles Of
scurf and dirt.
It may be mentioned. too. that only
one instance Is on record where hea
was found on reptile. This was on
brown snake which was captured near
Perth. in West Australia. and whI,e
was probably derived from some small
mammal devoured BY the snake. The
6ea was firmly fixed between the scaly
plates Of the reptile.
The history Of the flea would seem
to 20 back many centuries, but the
only fossil remains Of hea that have
% far been found Is single Insect In
a bit Of Baltic amber. The flea Is ad-
mirably preserved BY Its semi-transpar.

Astronomers Of different countries
have more than once recorded blue
moon. This rsnarkable phenomenon
has been twice observed. both in Italy
and Austria. but only once in England.
A blue sun has appeared once only,
and will probably never he seen again
even to the end Of existence, astron-
omers say. This occurred In August.
1883. at the sunda States. The cause
was the eruption Of Q large volcano.
In the terrible shock that followed
u great range Of mouHtains was blown
completely into the air. The cavity
left on the sunda States after this
explosion was 1000 feet deep. Billions
Of tons of rock, dust and mud were
blown heavenward for no less than
II miles.
1t can be understood what the ex-
plosion was like when 1t 10 said that
at Batavia. exactly 100 miles away.
