Sees FIeos in Snow
Sign of Spring

The following interesting letter
from a Troy lady appeared in
recent issue of The Spokesman
and is herewith reprinted. Wonder
if the snow fleas look anything
like type lice?
The letter follows:
Snow fleas have been visible for
three days at Bull Lake, Mont.
promised to let my friends know
when it is time to look for them
to substantiate my remarks that
there are such things.
Yes. there are millions of tiny
black fleas hopping around on the
snow about the time of the spring
thaw.
When I first noticed them l
thought / had made a great discov-
cry, one that is almost unbelievable.
One lady scoffed at such an incred-
ible thing as snow fleas, but when
they were later pointed out to her
she was all 'ohs" and "ahs" as she
took her magnifying glass to have
a better look. She was thrilled and
pleased to learn that there are such
things.
Oven FleaS, Too
It is said that there are oven
reaches which live in comfort in
high temperatures in the
ovens of largs plans and factories;
which is interesting if true, but !
know there are snow fleas and
many other people have seen them.
You can see them, too, if you look
for them at the right time of the
year, when conditions are just
black specks hopping
about on the snow.
They are very small black insects
which appear to have no wings
Where they come from is a mys-
cry. and though their season is
hort they are as dependable in
making their annual visit as spring
