Newspaper Page TextSOME FLEAS IN SEASON. WHY everybody it scratching FOR DBAR LIFJi. Local Scientists Laclc Knowledge. Dr Mouser Says He Never Saw a Flea, end His Learned Confreres Espress Equal Ignorance About It. Prom the San Francisco Examiner. The merry flea is holding high carnival just now, and to take a trip in a cable car interior is as good as an evening w ith Evans and Hoey. Gentlemen who carry walking eticks along Kearny street bang their calves ftn d western sides vigorously, though furtively, to allay the excruciating agony, and certainly no virgin martyr of ancient times ever endured half the agony under which the matinee girl now smiles as she feels the pulex irritaus creep slowly up under her corsage till that part of her spine iust behind the place where her heart pulsates wildly is reached. The theatrical flea is much worse than its cable car cousin, but then the theatrical flea mav he squashed when the lights go down siui the uuisio is slow and solemn, but the cable car ilea may pursue its libidinous ca reer unchecked and unlimited as to ter ritory. , in other countries there are many kinds of fleas—the cat-fleas and the dog-fleas, and buffalo -fleas and their aunts, the “jiggers,” but here, in San Francisco, we enjoy the presence of the real old-fashioned Bengal tiger-flea. This insect knows its business end attends to it strictly, without regard to age, sex or color, although amateur scien tists do claim that the Ban Francißco flea is inclined to be a masher. Our locals ientists are possessed of decid edly meager information. Dr. Harkuess, who knows all about fungi and mastodons, and when it isthe best time to gather petri fied pre-Adamites, says that he hasn’t got round to the flea yet. As for Dr. Mouser, who is an expert on Koch and Fasteur, and germicides, he thinks that the flea Is harmless so far as deleterious influences are concerned. He doesn’t think that the flea can convey germs of disease from one person to another, and regards it simply as a miniature woif that feeds ou human blood, and likes the meat tender. In fact, be says that since he grew old he has not been troubled with fleas at all. He and some of his friends, however, have referred the wri'er to several learned treatises on tho subject, from which one can gather much knowledge. The flea belong! to the fourth order of insectssuctorea, composing tbe single pulex of Linnaeus. He is clothed in armor quite as indestructible as that of a knight of old. This one is the type—the pulex irritans— he who lives in straw barns, in houses where slovenly housekeeping is found. He is more domesticated with man than any of ids congeners. In warm climates he is indeed a foe, especially where there is much sand and the atm stihero is dry. The species is common every where; but, loving warmth, in countries where the riimate is some times very cold he can be kept under sub jection with a due amount of clean liness. Tbe eye is exceedingly black, and the rays or light sciutiliate through it with the i rilliancy of a blacks ritb’s forge in full blast on a dark night. He evidently uses only one at a time, as bis head has a strong resemblance to that of a bird. Rosel, the first examiner of this part, thought it was com posed of only two pieces, but modern ob servers prove it is made up of seven. In s me species it is still more complicated. Observe one particular, that the labial palpi have each a very small hole at the end; in tbe interior it is full of small valves; through these holes aQd the cavities bohind the eyes the flea tireatbes; this must be so since there are no other stigmata to be found over the whole body. lu some species you may perceive some thing like stigmata on the plates, but when tamed over they show no communication with any nerve or fliamont. Air must be admitted in some way to keep the fluids healthy, to render thorn fit for circulation. This little sucker, wheu he regales himself, stands quite erect aud boldly strikes his sucker in. He will stand and suck, without intermission, as long as you will permit him, for he voids as fast os ho imbibes. 'This you may perceive any day by placing several in a small vial and giving them a piece of un derdone or raw meat. The leg is exceeding ly worthy of examination. Here all the strength of the flea lies, and it is very marvelous how much he can do and how high he can leap. He can leap thirty-six times his own hight, a feat absolutely unattainable by anything else on this earth. The leg is very elastic and connected to the body with long ten dons, receding into themselves like wire springs. When about to leap tbe leg is drawn up as close to the body as possible and then shot out. The momentum pro ved* only from the first joint; all propell ing power is there, but the other joints re ceue the shock, and increased by their stretch while tbe leap is being made. It 18 a mistaken idea that they accomplish distance by the leap; the motion proceeds from fright, is tasen in self-defense, and is almost al ways upward. They r come down very near n?Jk- from whence the leap was taken. this yon may convince yourself by plac lnjJ 8 !l "a in a drop of rod ink on a piece of white paper in a box with a glass cover; :? en y° u may sae the leap.

If a dozen or more are put in a vial for a day you will soon per eeive the remains of the dead and wounded as a result of the companionship. Ther stand on their hind legs and buffet their opponents with the others. They roll and toss and tumble until it is pitabie to see the wrecks left behind. One champion lived ten days with no sustenance, one eye gone, three plates in the side smashed in and only Hjo first joints of four legs to go upon. But he was game till tho last and died short ly after, still breathing defiance. Perhaps the worst species of the flea known to man is the pulex penetrans, which is found in boutb America and the West Indies. Tbe females of this species penetrates tbe feet of *ls victims and there deposits its eggs, and as the pro.ers of penetration is described as being a rather pieasant sensation than i otherwise, care is often not taken soon enough, for as soon as the larva begins to be impregnated with life the place where the eggs were laid becomes a festering sac, frequently rendering amputation necessary, and occasionally causing death. There is one consolation regarding the pulex irritans, man’s great tormentor throughout the world; the female of this species i arely lays more than a dozen eggs. She deposits them in some dirty or dusty place on the floor or underneath a nail; the larva 1 before hatching have a frontal point used In breaking the shell of the egg six days after dep slitou of the eggs. Small, worm-like, jointed larvue without feet creep forth from them. Iu eleven days they envelop themselves in a c coon, from which, at the expiration of eleven days more, they emerge perfect animasl eager for the occupation of tormenting mankind, even as their parents were before them. We have all heard or seen performing fleas, which are supposed to have been tamed by their owners, but a tame flea is practically an impossibility, aud the sole object of a captivated flea is to once more regain hir, liberty. There are numerous ac counts given of the great exploits of tame fleas, but no flea was ever yet tamed. Mouf fet tells us of a mechanic named Marks, who made a gold chain as long as his finger, with lock and key, which a flea dragged after him, and there was a golden chariot which he drew likewise. Biugley mentions that Mr. Boverick, a watchmaker in the Strand, exhibited an ivory chaise with four w eels, the figure of a man sitting on the box, nil drawn by a flea. The same man afterward constructed a tandem with figures of six horses harnessed to it, a coachman on the box, a dog between his legs, four persons Inside, two footmen behind and a postilion on the fore horse, all of which were drawn by a single flea. It is an erroneous belief that fleas cau convey poison from one body to another, but such is not the case. While it is difficult t j understand the util ity of the Pulex Irritans and the pulex pen etrans, it is certain that the cat-flea and the dog-flea are essential to the existence of the animals on which they live, as they keep the blood in proper circulation. It may tie that the pulex irritaus, our common enemy as we suppose him, is essential to our exist ence; let us hope a> and try and feel happy under the apparent infliction.

Donald Burns traveled for fifteen years with Barnum’s circus. He now has an es tablishment at No. 115 Roosevelt strait. He supplies animals to cirouses and menageries and has in stock a particularly large aud ferocious panther. When Burns reached his store at 7:30 o’clock yesterday m irning John Miller, an employe, was standing outside. “0, Mr. Burns, the panther is loose 1” he cried. “Well, we’ll have to get him back in the cage,” said the old animal trainer. “You get me a rope.” With a piece of clothesline arranged with a running noose in one end Burns entered the store. The panther sat on top of his cage licking his paws. With a quiet move aicnt Burns threw the lasso. It misled, and the panther made a leap for the trainer, who stepped out and closed the door. Peering through a window. Burns saw the panther making a round of the place, scaring the other animals terribly. He squeezed her paw between the iron bars of cages and shook them. A little monkey seized the paw. He lived about two min utes. The blood on tbe panther’s p iws in furiated him. He began a war dance iu the center of the room and the other ani mals howled. Finally he went back to tho top of her cage, and Burns decided to make another effort to lasso him. “Now, when I yell you open the door,” he said to Miller, “then grab the end of tbe rope and pull with me when I teil you to.” Tbe door was opened softly again, and Mr. Burns threw the lasso. When the ani mal saw the rope eomiug he threw up his left paw ad the ncose dropped over his head and paw. “John, John, open the door,” yelled Burns; “I’ve got him; come acdhelpme.” But John’s courage failed him, and de spite Burns’ yells for help no one went to his assistance. A crowd gathered around the door, hut no one entered. Miller rushed about on the outside like a crazy man. “When I found that Miller would not come in,” said Mr. Burns yesterday, “I braced myself for the struggle that I knew was coming. The animal was a year old, and had just been brought from ludia. “I figured on his pulling from me, like all panthers, but the lasso caught under the shoulder, and so he didn’t feel it so much around the neck. I pulled hard and strong and so did the panther for a moment or two, but iu the twinkling of an eye she see ned to shrink her body up and slipped out of the noose. I picked up au iron floor Bcrapor aid jumped aside as soon as he leaped for me. I tried to hit the beast with the scraper, but missed him. Then we fenced aroond the room, the panther leap ing for me and I endeavoring to hit him. I aoized a box of pepper and tried to throw some into his eyes, hut I couldn’t connect. I had a dog upstairs and kept calling him, but be was tightly chained. “Fully fifteen minutes passed in this way. The cages, barrels and other obstructions in the room served to protect me. When the panther jumped I would dodge behind one of these, and he would go over my head. Finallv i got a paper file from the desk. It was only a little piece of pointed iron wire, about six inches long, but I felt a bit stronger when 1 got that in my hands. ‘•Then I nursed my footing in trying to pred the brute, and he was on me in a sec ond. He caught, me in the urm above the elbow. 1 jabbed the spindle into his side, and lie let go and leaped to the other end of the room. The bicod spufted ouf of the hole I made in his side. . “We came together again, and before wo separated I was bitten in several places. Luckily f r me the panther wa* not an old one. and the teeth were not long. They were long enough to tear tho fleih terribly, though. .... “I was getting weak from loss of blood, when a policeman from the Oak street sta tion opened the door and closed it quickly. 1 hail the panther by the throat, but ho was working out of my grasp. I yelled again for help, and two longshoremen came to nw rescue. They lieat. tho panther off, and with poles handed in from tho outside we drove the beast into his cage again.” Mr. Burns was badly lacerated about the liody, and his face. too. showed marks of the desjierate struggle.

Giant Oliunka of Virgin Gild from California Hills. From the San Francisco Call. The gigantio gold nuggets just fouDd in the Ruby drift mine above Forest City, in Sierra county, has arrived hero and is at tracting large throngs. It woighs 203;.; ounces, or nearly thirteen pounds, and is worth a little over $3,000. This is the largest nugget found in recent years. The mine in which it was discov ered has been worked ten years, and has frequently produced nuggets worth from S2OO to SBOO. The big king nugget was found on Saturday, Sept. 23, and another was discovered the noxt day of the value of SSOO. The former is 8 inches long by 5 wide, and varies in thickness from 2 to 3 inches. It requires a pretty strong grip on the nugget for one to raise it immediately in his hand, as it pulls down very hard. BOOKED FOR THE FAIR. It is of a handsome bronze color, is scal loped iu places, and bears traces of bluish cement on its sides. Acid will be applied to the nugget to remove the blue cement, anil it will be taken to the world’s fair. At tho North Bloomfield Company’s office on Sansome street, where the nugget is, it was ban lied with lutorest yesterday. It occasioned many a story from old-time miuiug men. who recalled days of tiresome toil in the gorges and dreams of such great pieces of gold. World’s Fair Commissioner R. McMurry produced a piece of quartz, which will also be taken to the world’s fair. It is a novelty iu its way. It weighs eleven pounds and the gold in it will assay $1,200, but Mr. McMurry has been offered $2,300 for it. It was exhibi ed at the great Fans exposition and attracted wide att. action. It is seamed and flecked with gold, being one of tho most beautiful specimens, consider ing its size, that lias ever bean fouud. AGAINST THE DEBRIS LAW. The pieces of gold were sufficient to start much talk in regard to miniug, aud there were many wishes expressed among the old mining men for the anti-debris law’s repeal, so millions of dollars could be once more annually produced. Tbe big piece of quartz is from the Delhi miue, Nevada county, from which $32,000 was taken out iu one pocket in a single day two years ago. The mine is on a ridge be tween the North and Mouth Yuba rivers, and is 033 feet below any ledge tho owners have tapped lieforo. Another piece of treasure that attracted great attent.ou was a beautiful flat and clean piece of yellow leaf g dd. It was so bright and ro perfectly etched and scalloped by nature that oven old miners at first had some difficulty in believing that it came from tbe mine in that shape. This was from the Columbia Hill property. The curioudy etched gold was about tne size, shape and half the tbickuoM at a lady's hand, and is worth SIBO.
