Chinese Fie* Trap.
A flea trap la In general use In S e-
chuan It consists of two pieces of
bamboo, one inside the other. The
outer is about a foot in length and two
and a half Inches In diameter; it Is
longitudinally fenestrated. The inner
bamboo is of equal length, but only
about an inch in diameter. It Is kept
In position by means of a short wood-
en plug. The Inner bamboo is coate<t
with birdlime or the like: the outer
bamboo is protective. The trap can
be placed under bedclothes, aiming
rugs and  o forth: any fleas that go
through get caught on the birdlime.
The trap might be of great value in
connection with plague epidemics-
