TRAINING THE LIVELY FLEA Charles Klenke training fleas in his animal shop in N’ew York city. Flea training is a sideline with Mr. Klenke, who hires out squads of the trained insects to circus performers. Fleas are easily trained, according to Mr. Klenke. He takes a good-sized, frisky flea from one of his animqls and puts it in a small glass bowl which is covered at the top. It is naturally anxious to escape from the bowl, and in attempting to do so is bumped quite frequently. After a time It stops jumping. Mr. Klenke then takes It from the bowl and harnesses It to a small cardboard chariot which it hauls about, urged on by a straw In Klenke’s hands. After a time in harness the flea forgets he ever could jump. HEIR TO ADMIRAL PEARY Robert E. Peary, Jr, sixteen-year-old son of the late Admiral Robert E. Peary, discoverer of the North pole.
