MIDNIGHT CLOSING.

1t is astonishing to notice how many
saloon-keepers favor the adoption of
Trustee McLaughlin's ordinance provid-
ing that saloons must close at midnight,
and several claim to have urged the
Major to introduce such an ordinance.
Why? Because they know the people of
this city are determined that the liquor
license shall be raised, and this side issue
is gotten up to divert attention and defeat
the increase of license. They know, and
everyone knows, that the proposed ordi-
nance would be more of a hardship to
restaurants, hotels and decent saloons
than to the dives, and they also know
that the Trustees already have the power
to close the dives entirely, but have not
the manhood to do it. The proposed or
dinance is t'blind," but it will not de-
ceive the people nor divert attention from
the true solution of the question: rea-
sonable license for revenue, and the clos
ing Of the dives under the regulative Or
C1inance

EXPOSING DOODLE.

The San Francisco Examiner has
adopted vigorous measures in the way of
exposing boodlers. 1t has selected one
of the many instances from which it
might have taken its choice to expose
their methods, but we are sorry to note
in the work it has undertaken careful
concealment of the name of any Demo
crat Assemblyman who might have been
connected with these offenses. We are
scarcely disposed to credit the Examiner
with ignorance of the completely of Dem
Ocrats as an apology for its concealment
in the premises. The story afioat, which
seems to be very well authenticated, and
on which the Examiners exposures are
founded, is to the following effect:
During the last session of the LegisIa-
ture, bill was introduced into the AS
sembly to make ticket-scalping a crime
1t is represented that a Republican AS
semblyman from Alameda County Wis
tied the boss ticket-scalper of the coast,
and informed him that the bill was intro
duced and was backed by the Southern
Pacific Company. The members of the
understanding profession were informed
of the danger that threatened their bust
ness, and visiting Sacramento, arranged
with at least one Democratic and one Re-
publican Assemblyman to kill the bill by
refusing it report from the committee of
which these two were members. The
amount agreed to be paid for this service
was $500. On the Saturday following
the adjournment of the Legislature the
two Assemblymen visited San Francisco
and demanded their money, but the boss
ticket scalper, who had made the arrange
ment, declined to pay on the ground that he
had been deceived by the Alameda states
man in the representation that the South
ern Pacific Company was promoting the
passage of the measure. He declared on
his side that the bill had been introduced
by the people who had made the arrange
mont with him for the purpose of cinch-
ing his craft, and that he had been in
duced by fraudulent representations to
enter into the agreement. He therefore
refused to pay anything, pleading that
the promise to do so had been extorted
by fraud. On the Saturday afternoon in
question, the two Assemblymen gave the
scalper until u o'clock Sunday to make
good his promise, under what threat or
what coercive measure we are not adj
yised.
This is the story that was current when
the Examiner took cognizance of the mat
ter. The name of the Democratic Assem-
blyman was as Familiarity used in the
representation as was that of the Repub-
Ican. We call the attention of the Er-
0mi1aer to the omission of this name. We
would not for moment, however, be un-
derstood as desiring to belittle in the
slightest degree the great work in which
the Examiner is engaged; nor would we
for moment desire that the names OF
Republicans should be concealed in
the interest of the party which they
misrepresent. Let it be understood in
the political ethics of the Republican
party that whoever accepts a bride in
public office ceases to be Republican.
and let the party repudiate everyone
whose moral sense is not high enough to
adopt this doctrine. Republican boodlers
may just as well now take notice that
they are no longer wanted as representa-
tives of the party.

BALANCING A PENCIL ON ITS POINT.
You have merely to dig the blade of a
half open penknife into the pencil little
above the point, and to open or close the
blade, little by little, till you find that the
balance is obtained. The combination of
pencil and penknife thus placing itself in
equilibrium is an illustration of familiar
law of mechanics; the center of gravity OF
the combination falls below the point of
support (the finger, edge of table or the
like, and thus stable equilibrium is OBJ
tanned.
BY varying the degrees of opening the
penknife. you impart corresponding de-
grees of inclination to the pencil. When
the center of gravity of the two combined
falls in the same line as the axis of the pen
Gil. the latter will assume perpendicular
position.

The Charms of the Cicada's Song.


In Nature Notes Mr.. r. Il. Lewis gives a
curious account of the appreciation with
which the song of the cicada is heard by
insects other than those of its own genus.
The correspondent has frequently observed
in Natal, Africa, that when the cicada Is
singing at it's loudest in the hottest por-
tion of the day it is attended by a number
of other insects with lovely, gauzelike, iri-
descent wings, whose demean0r has left no
doubt in his mind that the music is the at
traction. The cicada, when singing, usu-
ally stations itself upon the trunk of tree
with its head uppermost. and the insects
in question, to the number of sometimes
fifteen or sixteen, form themselves into a
rough semicircle at a short distance
around its head. During a performance
one of the insects was observed occasion
ally to approach the cicada and to touch 1t
upon its front leg or antenna, which pro-
ceeding was resented by vigorous stroke
Of the foot by the cicada without how
ever, any cessation of its song. The insects
composing the audience are extremely ac-
tive and so wary that they take flight at
the least alarm or the too near approach of
any intruder. Some of them, however,
have been captured; and on examination
those "proved to belong to the same family
as that most beautiful of British insects,
lacewing fly, which, indeed, they closely
resemble except as to size, their measure
ment across the expanded wings being a
little over two inches; they have since been
identified by Mr.. Kirby at the British mu'
scum as Notochrysa gigantea"
