LEECH, a large division of ringed worms, 

 known also as bloodsuckers because of their 

 characteristic habit of sucking the blood of 

 other animals. These worms live for the most 

 part in fresh water, but some inhabit moist, 

 grassy places and 

 others dwell in 

 the sea. They 

 have smooth, 

 segmented bodies, 

 from two to ten 

 pairs of eyes, and 

 digestive and 

 nervous 



of a low order of inches, 

 development. Their sucking organs are two 

 disks, one at each extremity of the body. The 

 best-known leech is the one used for medical 

 purposes, which was considered indispensable 

 in the days when physicians practiced blood- 

 letting to cure almost every ailment. This 

 leech has a mouth in the middle of the front 

 sucking disk, provided with three small white 

 teeth. With these sharp, sawlike projections 

 the worm makes a wound which permits a 

 large flow of blood. Though blood-letting is 

 little practiced at the present time, medical 

 leeches are still imported from Europe into 

 the United States. 



LEEDS, leedz, a great manufacturing me- 

 tropolis of England, the fifth town in the king- 

 dom in point of population, situated on the 

 River Aire, twenty-one miles southwest of 

 York. The woolen trade carried on here and in 

 the surrounding towns and villages, especially 

 the ready-made clothing industry, is the most 

 extensive in England, while the iron trade, the 

 manufacture of leather and the making of 

 boots and shoes are almost as important as its 

 woolen activities. General goods to the annual 

 value of over $55,000,000 pass through the 

 warehouses of Leeds every year in normal 

 times. The iron trade in all its branches, in- 

 cluding the casting of metal, the manufacture 

 of steam engines, of steam plows and machin- 

 ery of all kinds, and of mechanical tools, gives 

 employment to more people in Leeds than any 

 other branch of its numerous industries. The 

 tanning establishments, erected on the out- 

 skirts, and the boot and shoe workshops are 

 among the largest in the kingdom. 



Leeds has always been distinguished for the 

 activity of its political and public life; it has 

 taken a leading part in all the great questions
