Willie Kohler, age 10, of Rowayton, Connecticut, for his question:

Do fleas have wings?

No, fleas do not have wings. The wretched little insects have remarkable leaping legs to get from hepe to there. Suppose, for his size, a six foot man could jump as well as a little flea. That man could leap a distance of 200 yards. A flea is such a good jumper that he does not need wings to travel, as most insects do. The average flea measures abut one eighth of an inch. Observers say that he can jump as far as thirteen inches.

Nobody has a good word to say for the fleas because they are bloodsuckers. They feed on living animals and some species feed on the blood of human beings, taken they stab in their beaks and suck up their liquid nourishment, they leave itchy 'flea bites. When they leap from victim to victim, the pesky parasites pick up and carry germs. tae now know that the terrible bubonic plague is spread by fleas, when they carry the disease from infected rats.
