The Tare and elusive flea is known as the “simmy.” Fifteen thousaad dollars is the price Rothsehild has offered for it The difficulty of catching a flea is proverbial. But the sending of expeditions to the Arctic and Afriea In search of them is something new. Generally there is no objection t a flea's staying lost.
