that any feeling existed between his Office
and that of the Union Construction Com
pany, but he stated that since the latter
company had been compelled to tear up
and relay six hundred feet of curbing on
Second street he had lost confidence in
their work, which he knew was not done
in accordance with the specifications. He
produced sample of the cement work
which was taken from the curbing, show
ing that it was loose and crumbling.
Major Bonsall asked that action on the
matter be deferred for one week but
President Frankenfeld's suggestion that
the matter be referred to the Engineers
department, with request that it report
thereon, was carried.
A number of communications and pro.
tests were then read and referred to the
appropriate committees:

A Cricket M eetfng.

The attention of all lovers of the
English national game of cricket is called
to the fact that meeting will be held
this evening, at s O'Clock, in the
Office of DR.. A. E. Gresham, at No. 223
South Spring street, for the purpose Of
taking preliminary steps for the reorgan-
zation of the Los Angeles Cricket Club.
The reason for calling meeting so early
in the year is that the projectors wish to
establish the club on sound business
basis as soon as possible, as in former
years no action has been taken until the
beginning of the summer, and it was
found that many who would have been
glad to join forces earlier, had made
other arrangements when called upon to
do 30. Three years ago the local team
was undoubtedly the strongest in
Southern California, and as most of the
old players are etill in the city, there is
no reason why it's former success should
not be expected during the present year.

a Now Era In Agriculture.

There are hints that Il revolution
is about to come in agriculture
through the discovery that the free
nitrogen of the atmosphere is ab-
sorbed and "tixcd" by the soil itself
under suitable conditions. Plants
need phosphorie acid, potash and
nitrogen. The first two are in reach,
but the third has been supposed to be
elusive. 1t has been the general
teaching that tho nitrogen of the
atmosphere plays no part in vcgcta-
ton. Now NJ. Bcrthclot and others
affirm that it does. They have de-
monotratcd, they say, that the true
nitrogen of the atmosphere is "ixcd''
and made available rs n fertilizer s'bv
the cooperation of mineral mattcl
and of living organisms in the soi.''
The fact explains, it is said, why it is
"Q) that spade husbandry is much
more productive than plowing; (2)
that land can be enriched by simply
plowing under its own product, and
(3) that summer fallowing, will
frequent stirring actually cnrchcs
the soil" Pulvcrization Of the soil
increases, it seems, its capacity to ab.
sorb nitrogen. The method of cen
trifugal tillagc it is claimed, is an
ideal modus opcrandi for the new
fertilization. 1t pulvcrizcs the sol
and acratcs it in the manipulation
and then confines mass Of air in
its midst for the slower process OF
absorption and digestion by earth
and plants.

The querist seemed to be incrcdu-

it up in despair when bright idea
occurred to him, and he returned to
the attack with:
"Pon your honor ?"

THE BIRDS IN THE PIE.-You
all know the old "Sing Song of
Sixpence." Have you ever read
what it meant?
The four and twenty black birds
represent twenty-four hours. The
bottom of the pie is the world, the
top crust is the sky that overarches
it. The opening of the pic is day
dawn, when the birds begin to sing,
and surely such a sight is ga dainty
dish to set before king"
The king, who is represented rs
sitting in his rarlor counting his
money. is the sun; while the gold
pieces yha: slip through his fingers
arc golden sunshine. The queen,
who sits in the dark kitchen, is the
moon, and the honey with which she
regales herself is the moonlight.
The industrious maid, who is in
the garden at work before the king
the sun-has risen, tho day-dawn
and the clothes she hangs out are
the clouds, while the bird which SO
tragically ends the song by "nipping
off her nose" is the hour of sunset.
SO we have the whole day-in pie.

about so years old, while drunk, fell
into a shallow drain last Thursday
night and was drowned. His body
was discovered by school children
next day. 1t was claimed that the

but it was not half as dangerous as
the deadly traps from which Scott
got his whiskey. There is some
escape from ravinc. A man can
crawl out Of one and wash the mud
off and rub little arnica over the
bruises and he is all right again. But
when he falls into these more fatal
man-traps, where men of all degrees
are welcomed with bland smiles to
wasted lives and dishonorablc graves,
there is no escape for him. Friends
and family may pull him away and
by force keep him away for time,

General Greeley, Chief Of the Sig
nal Service Bureau, gives the most
plausible theory as to the cause of
the warm winter. He states that
storms prevailed in high ATTITUDES
during December. At least nine OF
considerable severity swept from
West to East North of the forticth
parallel. These storms caused rush
of warm air from the South and South
west toward the storm areas. The
prevailing winds came from the South
and caused the continued warm

A Blacksmith Justice.

In the spring of 1860, in small
town in Iowa, blacksmith was
elected justice of the peace. ITe
was an honest, Industrious fellow, :
far better blacksmith than he was +
lawyer. Shortly after he was elected
case of assault and battery wa.
brought up in his. court. Knowing
that he could not afford to rent Il sep,
aratc room in which to hold court, he
informed the lawyers on both sides
to bring their cases right into the
blacksmith shop and he would hold
court there. He also stated that for
the time being he would give up
making horscshocs and attend strictly
to the duties of his new office.
The lawyers departed and informed
every one where the justice was
going to hold court. When the hour
approached the smithy was crowded.
The prosecuting witnesses and de-
PENDANTS, accompanied by their at
torncys, appeared. At the appointed
time he put off his leather apron,
raped the anvil, and stated that the
court was open.
The lawyer for the defence made
a motion to dismiss the suit, rs it was
simply the outcome of spite.
Rapping on the anvil the son of
Vulcan put the following motion to
the spcctators "Gcntlcmcn, you
have heard the motion to dismiss the
suit. All who arc in favor OF it will
signify their intention by saying aye"
y Arousing reply was in the Affirmative,
and the blacksmith adjourned court,
picked up his hammer and resumed
work. The attorney for the prose
cution was dumbfoundcd at such a
proceeding, but the protcsiations
amounted to nothing and the dccis-
ion of the court stood.- LeodriNc
