HIS LiFE AMBITION EMBODIED 1N FLEAS Sends Expedition Out Af- ter a Special Brand of Elusive Pet Into . Arctic ters. 2 London, Oct. 22, The life ambition of one of the world s richest men is fleas, He possesses them from ev- erywhere fleas from South America, fleas from Europe, fleas from the Arcties and fleas from Australis. Big) fleas, little fieas, medium sized ones, fleas with spots and fleas without am, The Hon. Charles Rothschild, son of the late Lord Rothschild, and member of the richest family in the world, loves them all and has ro- solved his life into one grand song whereof the refrain is fleas, fleas, fleas, In the zoological museum owned by his Brother, Walter Rothschild, at Thring, a littie town in Hereford- shire, thirty miles from London, Charles Rothschild wanders among This flee cabinets, gloating over hls ri tare of more. For fifteen years he has pursued fleas persistently, inter- nationally, paying large sums or small sums to achieve his desire, un- til now his flea collection ranks as the greatest Inthe world. Fleas of Every Rank. The average person magines thore is but one kind of flea. that which meets us somewhere in th middle of our backs and bites wh re we can't scratch. Wrong. There fre more breeds and grades of fleas than there Are fashiofis on Fifth Avenue on a bright Sunday. Every dog has his fleas, and even every cat. The musk ox grows an. especial flea, and the ailver fox has his own unique brand. Practically every spe- cles of animal carries around excess. baggage in the shape of an individ- ually designed flea. Charles Roths- Shild possesses 450 types -of flee Dati convention meets in Canton thTs ot week. THis collection is not compete, m nearly complete, and the man who can discover a kind of flea which Charles Rothschild doesn t possess is on the way to gratitude and money. Spends Real Money. For England's great flea expert fs willing to spend real money when it comes to getting what he wants. Sev- eral years ago he learned that the silver fox of the Arctic regions. spec falized on a brand: of flea nat at all common, He wanted that flea. At first he considered offering a reward of 5000 for it, but later decided to, send an expedition that would be sure to get the especial. insect: and no other. It was not lorg before the Good ship Bluebell cleared from Que- bee and the skipper, F. G. Simpson, had orders not return until he had captured that bright, particular flea. A year went-by, The Bluebell re- mained In the region of ice and snow. Another year passed three, four. Then into Quebec came'the good ship with 2 happy skipper and a jubilant crew. The cargo was. one of fleas fleas from the polar bear, the thick hair of which forms a haven for mil- Hons of these parasites; fleas from the musk ox, the gray wolf, th biue fox, the husky dog and, best of all, from the silver fox. It was this elu- sive type of flea that had kept the ship 80 long in the Arctics. TO MOVE THE EARTH AND MELT THE POLE DREAM OF ENGINEER Plan to Send Guif- Stream Unchilled Into Arctic s Heart, Abolishing Fogs and Extreme Cold. WOULD TERMINATE ICEBERG MENACE Thinks a 190,000,000 Jetty From Newfoundland Would Cuase Axis to Shift. New York, Oct. 23 Carroll Li ingston Riker, a New York engi. near, proposes ina small book just issued to change the climate of the whole Atlantic Coast of Nort America, and to alter even the solar inclination of the earth, His plan is to std the gueat heat-bearing Gulf stream, unehilied, into the very heart of the Aretic. The warm cur castward from: -Newlompiland: across ee the water on the Grand Banks, and east thereof, until a -wajl is. formed which will intercept the cold North- ern Labrador qurrent, turn it ast- ward udiii-it meets the north-flow- ing Gulf Stream in deep water. The greater part of the cold stream would pass under the warmt current, he declares, and the iceladen upper part be deflected north again. To carry out the plan the jetty, says Mr, Riker, miles long, projecting ont, from Oape Race, would modify the from Newfoudland to Cape Hatters, and do away with the fogs, the extreme cold of the winter, and bring an car- lier spring to the northern parts of this continent. In this-plan-it hag 2 peared thac Mr. Riker's one aim is to stop the cold north current from meeting and neutralizing the warm Gulf Stream. The two great ocean rivers meet now off the coast of New- foundland. The warm river roses its. heat, while the cold river sweeps on south and even enters the Gulf of Mexico before it gives up al, its cold, The Gulf Stream divides, and part of it, greatly weakened, flows north rent, he maintains, would melt the frozen Polar seas, and by this sub- Is Hard to Capture, The silver fox fs hard to ckpture.

F, Baker, now in California on a flea bunt. Califor- nia, be it known, has more earnest and industrious fleas than any other part of the world. Mr. Baker Is the author of a book on fleas and the wicked part they, play in spreading leprosy.

The total cost of this work he estimates at 190,000,000, a sum far below the cost of the Panama Canal, and the accomplishment of the work he declares. will be much simpler. Mr. Riker has carried out several notable engineering feats. He built the first reftigerating warehouse in the world, and installed the first cold Storage system in a transatlantic ship. He designed and built the first. powerful pumping dredge used by the United States Government to fill the Potomac flats, near Washing- ton, D, C., at a cost of about half the Government's first estimate. MR. RIKER'S AMAZING PLAN. This amazing proposal is made by Mr. Riker iz all serionsness and sin- c r ty. He believes that ib can be A jetty would be built extending visionar along the west, coast of Greenland. , ABOLISH FOGS. The immediate effect of the clash, sais Mr. Riker, is the pro- duction of almost continuous fogs on the Banks, and the carrying of icc- jetty bergs south into the path of trans- atlantic steamers. If the Gulf Stream jo ran unbroken a few hundred miles further north it would melt the bergs where they originate and be- i fore calving. Ths offspring of these, two great currents are the mongrels into which the Guif Stream soon divides, thay becoming atmaless wan- force or effect, com- pared with its previo Inajestic swoop, and thus enfedbled wholly unable to cope with the head- on southeasterly opposing flow of the European Polar ourrent after its projection bo the surface as it sur mounts the great mis-Atlantic back- bone, 400 miles south of the Farra day Hills. Then the engineer asks the ques- tion: How shall the integrity of these two great streams: be presery- ed so that they shall) be of the it most service to mankind? And his answer is, By inducing the dor current. to make a sand its own deposits, eventually it to the surface of the-ocean agi neck of land: to keep them aparsj the shoal waters of the Great Banks. T hear the exclamation vision he says. But: the idea is not ary, consider the:facts in the ease as can be demonstrated. FORM -NATURAL DEPOSIT. Jt is proposed to construct this jetty principally by the scouring ac- tion of the Labrador eurrent, which will form a natural deposit of about three thousand to one, against and about any such obstruction asa mar row backbone of rip-rap (broken stone) to be laid easterly from New- foundiand, in the shoal water upon the Great Bank, to its easterly. ex- tremity, about two hundred miles, that will deflect the south-flowing Labrador current (as described) into an easterly one of considerable ve- locity, whose lower, henvier stratum will sink, when its momentum is overcome, into the deep water of the American polar current, andgsvith branch of the polar thward throughs , the great Ameriemn Val- loy, in the bed of the Atlantic, east of the. Grand Bank, that extends from the Telegraph Platean on the north to the torrid zome, and more than two miles beneath the Gulf Stream.

Amd the deposit will be greatest during the winter months, when man's work will be discontinued. Instead of meeting in the shallow water off Newfoundland as at pres-1 ent, both the great currents would turn eastward and their waters would turn eastward and their wa- ters would mingle in the very deep. sea of the Grand Banke. The Guif Stream would pass over the colder and heavier part of th Labrador current and bear along with it the Nighter and icedaden part.
